President Trump’s war on the global elites has all the media in a frenzy.
Even Fox News thought they could catch Trump’s team off guard.
And Peter Doocy got shut down hard when he asked Karoline Leavitt one rude question.
Fox News reporter ambushes Leavitt on Trump’s trade deals
The liberal media have been foaming at the mouth since President Trump returned to the White House.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy thought he could embarrass Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during a recent White House briefing when he blindsided her with a question about the administration’s trade policies.
President Trump shocked the global elite by slapping nearly every country with reciprocal tariffs and a 10 percent universal tariff to force these nations to finally negotiate fair deals for American workers after decades of getting ripped off.
Trump temporarily paused these tariffs for 90 days to allow countries to come groveling to the negotiating table, but Doocy tried to portray this strategic pause as a sign of weakness.
“You guys have at least 18 written trade proposals. We still don’t know who they are from or what they contain. What is the hold up with that?” Doocy demanded, clearly salivating at the thought of catching the Trump administration in some kind of gotcha moment.
Leavitt destroys Doocy with one brutal response
What Doocy never saw coming was Leavitt’s devastating response that left him scrambling for words.
“There is no hold up. We’re working around the clock,” Leavitt fired back. “The trade team is working all day, I was on the phone last night with [Commerce] Secretary [Howard] Lutnick. I was on the phone this weekend as well with [Treasury] Secretary [Scott] Bessent.”
Leavitt didn’t stop there as she drove home a point that left the White House press corps stunned.
“I mean, the entire team is working 24/7 to get these trade deals done and I think you’ll be hearing more about them this week. I don’t want to get ahead of the president in announcing potential deals, but certainly, I can assure the American public that this administration is full speed ahead in cutting good and fair trade deal on behalf of the American worker,” Leavitt declared.
Doocy was left speechless. His attempted “gotcha” moment crashed and burned as Leavitt expertly exposed the ridiculous premise of his question.
Bessent drops bombshell that media tried to hide
What Doocy conveniently buried in his questioning is the bombshell that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had already dropped on Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade – multiple countries are practically begging to negotiate personalized trade agreements with the Trump administration.
“There are 15 to 18 important trade relationships. We’ll put China to the side, and then we’re moving quickly with many other countries. A lot of our Asian trading partners have really come with their A-game, and are trying to solve this fairness problem,” Bessent revealed.
Bessent specifically named India, South Korea, and Japan as countries scrambling to make headway in trade talks, proving that Trump’s tough stance has these nations practically tripping over themselves to get to the negotiating table.
Trump’s America First policy has globalists in total panic
President Trump’s masterful use of tariffs as negotiating leverage has the establishment elites clutching their pearls as he dismantles the globalist trade policies that have gutted American manufacturing for decades.
The liberal world order established 80 years ago has worked like a charm for Wall Street fat cats and foreign countries while leaving American workers high and dry. Trump campaigned explicitly on blowing up this rigged system.
Unlike the weak-kneed politicians before him who signed trade deals that shipped millions of American jobs overseas, Trump is playing hardball – demanding that if foreign countries want access to our market, they’d better open theirs up too.
The president has made it crystal clear that rebalancing global trade to put American workers first, not corporate interests or foreign governments, will be the crowning achievement of his second term.
Fake news media in meltdown over Trump’s winning strategy
The mainstream media, including supposed conservatives at Fox News, are desperately trying to declare Trump’s trade policy dead on arrival before negotiations are even complete.
These are the same so-called “experts” who guaranteed economic armageddon when Trump implemented his first round of tariffs during his first term – predictions that blew up in their faces as the economy roared to historic heights instead.
What these talking heads refuse to understand is that Trump’s tariff announcements are simply an opening move in his Art of the Deal playbook – not meant to be permanent but designed to scare foreign leaders straight. When countries realize America is finally playing hardball on trade, they rush to the negotiating table ready to make real concessions.
The tariff pause isn’t a sign of weakness – it’s Trump giving these countries one last chance to negotiate before he drops the hammer. The strategy is working exactly as planned, and foreign leaders know it.
Leavitt’s masterful takedown of Doocy’s pathetic questioning proves the Trump administration isn’t the least bit intimidated by media pressure tactics and remains laser-focused on delivering historic wins for forgotten American workers.
