Jen Psaki Shades Fox Reporter for Asking if Biden Would Steal 'Art of the Deal' Phrase

White House press secretary Jen Psaki traded barbs yet again with Peter Doocy, White House correspondent for the conservative Fox News network.

The White House is currently in negotiations with congressional Republicans to pass President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill.


Though the initial $2.3 trillion package allocated for green energy initiatives, climate friendly retrofitting of federal buildings, the elimination of lead pipes, elder care, and a host of other initiatives, Republicans have balked at the price tag.

On Friday, the White House announced it would lower the base line to $1.7 trillion—a move which Psaki referred to as the "art of seeking common ground."

In 1987, former President Donald Trump was credited with the bestselling book The Art of the Deal (ghost written by journalist Tony Schwartz), which became a crucial piece of work presenting Trump as a successful businessman.

Doocy jokingly asked Psaki if the White House would soon be referring to the infrastructure negotiations as the "Art of the deal."

Watch below.

Psaki responded:

"I don't know. You're the professional here, Peter. You're the TV star. What's the Fox chyron gonna be?"

After Doocy remarked that "Art of seeking common ground" would take up a lot of characters in a chyron, Psaki agreed.

She then suggested:

"Art of a different kind of deal. A deal for the working people."

People couldn't help but praise Psaki's shady response.






They soon began mocking Doocy as well.



Ouch.

For some inexplicable reason, Bari Weiss' CBS News decided Katie Miller, the wife of Trump White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, was the expert to consult on why Tuesday's results went so badly for her husband's boss and her husband's Project 2025 Christian nationalist, White supremacist agenda.

Dems Share Important Reminder As Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Is Set To Take Effect In January

After Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration, people are sharing reminders that President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is set to take effect in January and that Americans could blame Democrats for stipulations Republicans put in the bill.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." The Post noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

While election results in Texas have still not been fully tallied, the unofficial results have revealed that the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.
