Fox News Cut Away From Donald Trump to Report on the Stock Market Drop at the Most Awkward Moment

Fox News Cut Away From Donald Trump to Report on the Stock Market Drop at the Most Awkward Moment

When even Fox News acknowledges reality.

President Donald Trump traveled to Ohio Monday to deliver a speech about the Republican tax cuts, touting economic gains under his administration, and Fox News followed to cover it live. But during his speech, Fox cut away for an important announcement.

The stock market, specifically the Dow Jones Industrial (DJI) average, took a historic turn, a historic downward turn, dropping 4.27% while Trump spoke.


Trump stated during his State of the Union speech on Tuesday that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) continually set records under his presidency. The president frequently focuses on stock market performance as a sign of his success. However most Americans have no investments in the stock market.

However this latest record, a historic drop, does not fit Trump's narrative of unparalleled economic success since he took office. And the announcement by Fox News, preempting his speech, came at the least opportune time.

The president stated the GOP tax cuts “set off a tidal wave of good news that continues to grow every single day.” But while he made that statement, banners and pop-ups on Fox News reported the stock market steadily dropping.

The stock market already plunged 666 points on Friday. Trump, while speaking of economic gains Monday in Ohio, failed to mention anything about the stock market.

It remains to be seen if Donald Trump or Fox News will attribute the stock market plunge to the GOP tax plan or the Trump administration in the manner they assigned credit for all gains.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
