- Fox News Host Straight Up Asks Trump If New Tariffs Will ‘Hurt the Economy’
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade pressed President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning on whether or not he’s worried that his latest round of tariffs will “hurt the economy,” which is already suffering as a result of the ongoing war in Iran. Trump’s temporary 10% global tariffs expire at the end of the week and are set to be replaced by another set of sweeping 10 to 12.5% global tariffs on U.S. trading partners that make up some 90% of all U.S. imports. “So Mr. President, with the economy, that’s gonna be a focus. I want you to focus… yesterday in the midterms in Michigan — are you worried that the tariffs that you put forward over the last couple of days will hurt the economy as they adjust in bringing manufacturing home?” Kilmeade asked. “No, because it’s bringing hundreds of billions of dollars. I was at General Motors yesterday. They have the best year, they have the most trucks, the most cars. The tariffs have saved General Motors,” Trump replied, adding: What I’ve done to the auto business, what I’ve done to the chip business — we have chip companies now making, building hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of chip plants in Arizona, the biggest company, chip company of its kind in the world. I mean, the biggest company there is in the chip world is building a $400 billion plant. We’re going to end up with 40% to 50% of the chip business from nothing, in a year and a half from now. No, no, the tariffs have… I mean, it’s a shame that I have to go a harder way for the tariffs because the Supreme Court, in a very close decision, ruled against me. Now, I have other ways of doing the same thing, but it’s a more cumbersome way of doing it. But the tariffs have made this country a fortune. It made the country rich. And I stopped eight wars — I would say five of them — because of tariffs, a threat of tariffs. Stopped India and Pakistan from going into a nuclear war. The threat of tariffs stopped numerous other countries from going to war. These tariffs — it’s the greatest thing. And only the really smart people, or the people that are non-political and that get it, talk about it. The Democrats know how good it’s been.

Screenshot Laura Loomer shared “exclusive” video of Lindsey Graham in Ukraine just days before his sudden death — and showed off a drone Ukraine plans to send to the frontlines in honor of the late South Carolina senator. Graham, a staunch defender of Ukraine, had traveled to the country and died unexpectedly on July 11, a day after he returned home. Loomer, a confidante of President Donald Trump who has shared numerous videos of her recent trip to Ukraine including a sit down interview with President Volodymyr Zelensky, said Graham visited Ukraine’s famous SkyFall drone manufacturing facility on his 71st birthday. The drone makers greeted Graham with a colorful sign reading, “Happy Birthday!” that was being carried by a drone. Loomer held the device in a video posted to X. “That’s so cool,” a smiling Graham says in the footage Loomer shared. “I’ll remember that.” Loomer said the drone makers asked her to share the video Tuesday, the same day Graham’s Washington D.C. memorial service was held: 2 days before he died, Senator Lindsey Graham spent his 71st birthday visiting the @SkyfallUA Drone Facility in Ukraine. He took a photo with the P1-SUN drone interceptor, and it was the last photo he took before he died. I was able to visit this same drone facility in Ukraine where I saw up close and in person the same P1-SUN drone interceptors. SkyFall shared exclusive, never before seen footage with me that they filmed of Senator Graham during his visit where they used a drone to wish him Happy Birthday! They told me they planned on sending the drone to the Senator as gift, but now that he is dead, SkyFall tells me the drone was deployed in Senator Graham’s honor to the frontlines to liquidate Russian assets. SkyFall has provided me with video evidence. I felt it was fitting for me to release this video today on the day of Senator Graham’s funeral, which will be attended by President Trump, @netanyahu and @ZelenskyyUa We all know Senator Lindsey Graham would be so happy to know that the drone he held in Ukraine has since been deployed to combat Russians and protect Ukraine, a country he loved very much. Enjoy the video! Hundreds were set to gather for Graham’s service, including Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The post Laura Loomer Shares Final Photo of Lindsey Graham in Ukraine with… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - NYT Writer Confused by Trump’s Ramped-Up Trashing of Socialism: ‘Not Really ...The New York Times opinion writer Jamelle Bouie doesn’t get why President Donald Trump is spending so much time trashing socialism and communism. Bouie argued on The Opinions podcast on July 25 that it made sense for politicians to worry about socialism in the 1950s, when he said the Soviet Union was a “viable alternative” to the USA. But he said the days of having to fear socialist regimes are long gone. “In 2026, there’s no Soviet Union, China is nominally communist — I mean, the CCP is obviously an authoritarian formation, but like in terms of its economy, that’s capitalism, baby. And early state capitalism, right?” Bouie said. “So it’s like, what are we warning about? It’s not really a threat.” He argued the president’s complaints about socialism are failing to land because Trump doesn’t understand two things: the first being a large chunk of Americans like socialism, with a 2025 Gallup poll finding 39% of citizens have a favorable view of it. The second issue is Trump doesn’t understand democratic socialists “connote anti-establishment, not socialism,” he claimed. “For the public, for voters, it seems to say, ‘Oh, this is a person who isn’t an ordinary Democrat and doesn’t seem to have the same kind of ideological valence,” Bouie said about democratic socialists. Bouie’s take comes after Trump has bashed socialism a lot recently, following several democratic socialist candidates winning Democratic primaries in June. Two of those candidates in New York — Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) and Claire Valdez (D) — are card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America, just like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D). The mayor backed both Chevalier and Valdez in their primaries. Beyond its socialist economic agenda, the DSA website said it is against Trump’s “racist immigration policies” and America being allied with Israel, which it said has committed a “genocide” in Gaza. Chevalier and Valdez have also said they agree with Mamdani on the need to abolish ICE. Soon after the primaries, Trump sardonically congratulated Mamdani on getting “solid Communists” elected. His tone shifted a few days later, when he said the communists have started to make “their move” in the USA. “The game is on,” Trump said. “Enjoy watching!” Trump has ripped the socialists and socialism plenty of other times recently, including when he called communism a “cancer” that must be dealt with ASAP during his Fourth of July address. He issued a similar warning during a speech last week. “Communism is the… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- Trump Tells Fox Hosts Israel Would ‘Not Exist’ Today If He Wasn’t Presiden...President Donald Trump told Fox & Friends co-hosts on Tuesday that Israel “would not exist” if he were not in the White House as he bashed his predecessors’ handling of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and touted his own record. Speaking by phone, just hours before hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump argued Tehran had “effectively” accepted it could not obtain a nuclear weapon. “They cannot have a nuclear weapon, it’s very simple, and they have agreed to that essentially. We have to get them to make it formal, but they’ve agreed to it and why wouldn’t they? Why wouldn’t they?” Trump said. Co-host Brian Kilmeade then noted the difficulty successive administrations had faced in dealing with Iran over the past five decades. Trump responded by criticizing his predecessors, arguing they had failed to confront Tehran while singling out former President Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran for renewed attack. “For 50 years, other presidents should have done this job,” Trump said, claiming that Obama had “paid them billions of dollars” and describing the 2015 agreement as “the worst, dumbest deal” that amounted to “the road to a nuclear weapon.” The president also pointed to the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, saying the operation he’d ordered had weakened Tehran, before claiming recent U.S. military action under his second administration had also prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. “We stopped the nuclear with the B-2, and I stopped it also when I terminated that horrible deal made by Obama,” Trump said. “If they had a nuclear weapon, you would not have Israel around,” he said, adding: “Frankly, if I weren’t president of the United States, Israel today would not exist.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Trump Tells Fox Hosts Israel Would ‘Not Exist’ Today If He Wasn’t President first appeared on Mediaite.

- CNN Data Guru Harry Enten Rains on Republicans’ Massive Money Parade: ‘Who t...CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten argued on Tuesday that the RNC’s enormous funding advantage over the DNC was unlikely to matter when the midterms arrive. Two days earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report detailing the severe financial woes of the Democratic National Committee. At the time of this writing, the DNC was $2 million in debt while their Republican counterparts were sitting on nearly $130 million. The funding issues had become so severe that, according to the report, Democratic leaders asked vendors not to send any bills until after the midterm elections. Presented with these figures, Enten simply responded, “Who the hell cares?” He then made the case that the massive funding discrepancy between the parties has never mattered historically, adding: We can go back in time. We can go back eight years ago — the first Trump midterm. The RNC also had a huge advantage. It wasn’t nearly as big as it is right now, but it was still huge at $51 million, and the DNC was nearly in the red at $2 million. And what happened at the end of that midterm election? Democrats were still easily able to take back the U.S. House of Representatives. It was a very good midterm for them. So yeah, the DNC’s in the red, but the truth is I’m not really quite sure it matters all that much. Enten then revealed the Republicans’ funding advantage was “part of a larger pattern” going back decades. According to data pulled from the FEC, with a Republican president in the White House, the RNC has raised more than the DNC going into the midterms every time since 1982. “The RNC always outraises the DNC in midterms when there’s a Republican president,” Enten said. “These complaints have been heard for years, that the idea that the DNC, just simply put, is not the money-raising machine. We hear every single midterm cycle. Now, maybe it’s greater this midterm cycle because they’re literally in the red; but the truth is, looking back through history, it always happens and it pretty much never actually matters.

- Fox Host Brian Kilmeade Presses Trump on Iran Negotiations: ‘Could You Tell Me...Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade pressed President Donald Trump on negotiations with Iran, asking the commander in chief directly, “Who are you talking to, Mr. President?” Trump appeared on the program early Tuesday and spoke on a variety of topics, including the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose memorial service in Washington, D.C., is set for later in the day. The pair spoke of Graham before Kilmeade pivoted to the topic of Iran: BRIAN KILMEADE: I know he thought golfing with you, was the most intriguing, fun thing that he could ever do. And he would also mix the perfect things he loved so much, and that was work and fun and being with somebody with great influence like yourself. Top of his mind was war in Iran, I know you’re going to be talking about that today with the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And we hear you are talking right now with leaders on Iran. But Iran has come out and said we’re not talking to the U.S. We’re going to pause as long as they’re paused. DONALD TRUMP: Well, they just came out and said we are talking. KILMEADE: So could you tell me who you’re talking to Mr. President? TRUMP: For some reason, we can be in the midst of a beautiful discussion and they’ll say, we’re not talking or we did not discuss nuclear, well that is all we discuss because they’ll never have a nuclear weapon, they understand that. We have had some very good talks and very interesting with Lindsey, he was very much a hawk on Iran. Over the last few weeks, I would say he became, if you could make a deal, before making a deal in this case than enjoying rest of the country. We’ve destroyed most of it frankly. But he was somebody that was good time to make a deal, nice time to make a deal. KILMEADE: What does a good deal look like? TRUMP: I wouldn’t say he feels that way about Ukraine, he is very militant about. I mean Lindsey liked war. He was a guy who liked war. I jokingly say and nothing funny about it but he’s never seen a war that he didn’t like.
