Fox Business host on Trump tariffs: "We'd be shouting" if Obama did this - Polidicks

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/395837-fox-business-host-on-trump-tariffs-wed-be-shouting-if-obama-did-this Fox Business Network host Dagen McDowell said on Friday that conservatives would be “shouting to the high heavens” if former President Obama had implemented massive tariffs the way President Trump has. McDowell, speaking on Fox News’s “Outnumbered,” said there has been a lack of criticism for Trump over escalating trade conflicts between the U.S. and other countries. “If President Obama had pulled what we’ve seen in the last six months, we would be shouting to the high heavens, blowing the roof off this building about how Obama was killing the American farmer,” McDowell said. Trump's 25 percent tariffs on China went into effect Friday, costing China roughly $34 billion in import duties. China accused Trump of starting “the biggest trade war in economic history” and its announced plans to immediately respond with retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports including soybeans, seafood, SUVs and crude oil, according to CNN. “This is just the beginning,” McDowell said. One out of every three rows of soybeans grown in this country goes to China, McDowell said. “It hits heartland, it hits the Trump voter,” she said. Trump has threatened another set of tariffs, worth approximately $16 billion, for later this month — China has promised to respond with additional tariffs on U.S. goods. “But the president clearly is not stopping there,” McDowell said. McDowell questioned why Trump did not reach out to longtime U.S. trade allies like Canada and the European Union — two allies on which Trump has also imposed steep tariffs.

Fox Business Network host Dagen McDowell must be a Deep State Traitor for daring to question Trump's wisdom.

Well I give him about five minutes until he's fired, and about ten minutes until NBC picks him up.

15 minutes until Trump makes an angry tweet about how news agencies are pawns of Satan etc.

“Failing Dagen McDemoncrat (who is weak an unchristian) says we, the great American people, would be shouting if Obama did this, but he did, remember????? Bad bad guy.”

Dagen McDowell is a woman

Okay, cool and all, but why don't you start shouting then?

Made me remember this bit of news: The Daily 202 A new Post-ABC poll finds that 86 percent of Republicans support Donald Trump’s decision to launch strikes on Syria for the same reason. Only 11 percent are opposed. [..] In 2013, just 30 percent supported strikes. That swing is driven primarily by GOP partisans. For context, 37 percent of Democrats back Trump’s missile strikes. In 2013, 38 percent of Democrats supported Obama’s plan. That is well within the margin of error.

Fox business needs to be shelved, they're too damn libertarian to have criticizing GOP's big government. * *bring them back when a dem is in office tho

shepard smith, a gay anchor on fox news, on a regular basis criticizes Trump and Fox News itself. despite that, he recently got signed on for another like 10 years. he says he'd never leave on his own volition for fear of who would replace him.

Sounds like that lighthouse creepypasta.

I've said it before but Shepard Smith is kept around for a couple of main reasons: His presence lets Fox point to someone to say they aren't bias bullshit. He is also someone Fox can use among their viewers to focus their hate on as a token adversary. Frankly unless he reveals some seriously damaging stuff about either Fox News or the GOP on air, they'll not get rid of him.

Yeah, Shepard Smith is their token democrat so they can defuse any accusations of being too far right wing.

uh oh guys we got ourselves a concern trolling RINO here

isn't he like legally required for them to be a "news" agency?
