Fox News’ financial analyst’s face hilariously contradicted his words as he toed the ‘Art of the Deal’ line on the tariffs fiasco
Times are hard for the Trump Fan Club. Their boy has lost numerous legal challenges to his policies, crashed the stock market, come under investigation for insider trading, and made a very public and humiliating u-turn on his flagship tariffs policy.
The Maga faithful have been coping wth that last item by falling back on the old 4D chess defence – only they’re calling it “the art of the deal”.

So the Art of the Deal is letting every country on earth know that if they raise interest rates by dumping US Treasuries, we will fold.

These people are so spineless and weak. Trump destroys the economy, ruins the stock market, puts us on the verge of a recession, pushes our allies away, and MAGA says “Art of the deal.”

Fox Business’ financial analyst, Larry Kudlow, who was the Director of the National Economic Council during Trump’s first term in office, seemed to be struggling to accept the mandated sound bite during his show, and the excellent Aaron Rupar spotted it.
lmao Larry Kudlow looks like he's been forced to say this stuff at gunpoint (wait for the end of the clip) pic.twitter.com/OH0E1BTnEH

There wasn’t much sympathy for Kudlow’s line-toeing difficulties.

Celebrating an 'historic bounce' in the markets seems at least stockhom syndrome adjacent.

Tomorrow, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will drop by 3,500 points, and Kudlow will be trembling as he speaks on TV.

Some writer wrote a great description of one of these Kudlow reactions, said it looked like Larry had just eaten a urinal cake. Google is failing me and I can't find the original source

He always looks like a man being held hostage by his own talking points.
At this point, it’s no longer economic commentary but a performance art in a collapsing circus tent.
Blink twice if you're not okay, Larry.
Bless his heart!
