Peter Doocy tried to trap Donald Trump, but you won’t believe what happened next

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy saw an opportunity to make some news.

Doocy knows President Trump is always game to answer questions from the press.

And Peter Doocy tried to trap Donald Trump, but you won’t believe what happened next.

The radical Left is on the warpath across America, lighting Teslas on fire and stealing their wheels to protest Elon Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency.

President Trump offered a show of support to Musk by purchasing a Tesla on the White House lawn.

Peter Doocy tried to hit Trump with a gotcha question that sounded like something out of CNN.

Doocy tried to hit Trump with the leftist talking point that his policies propped up the billionaire class while everyday Americans were suffering through massive losses on the stock market.

“What is your message, President Trump, buying a new car,” Doocy asked the President, “While there are some folks who will see this clip at home and they are struggling with their retirement accounts down at the moment? Uncertainty about work ahead?”

Trump argued that his tariff and trade policies were necessary to both reshore American industry and expel the inflation from the American economy that Joe Biden burdened the nation with.

“Well, I think they’re gonna do great,” Trump declared. “I think we’re– our country had to do this. We had to go and do this. They’ve taken away, other countries have taken away our business. They’ve taken away our jobs. I did it, initially, very strongly against — as you know — China and some others in the first term; and it was a very successful term. We had no inflation. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. And then we had Covid, which we had to straighten out.”

Fox correspondent Charles Gasparino reported on social media that the Trump administration is now beginning to understand the disaster Joe Biden left behind after pumping $300 billion into the economy to try and get Kamala Harris re-elected.

Gasparino said the stock market would necessarily correct now that Biden’s spending spree was over.

“People close to @WhiteHouse believe @JoeBiden increased federal spending by as much as $300 billion in his final months of his presidency to juice the economy and markets and help @KamalaHarris get elected,” Gasparino began.

“That combined with rolling over short term debt in order not to force rates on the all-important 10-year note (which consumers rates are priced off of) to spike higher, has left a balance sheet mess of epic proportions,” Gasparino added.

“They say this spending spree provides an insight into the mountain of debt and deficits that Trump must start to eliminate,” Gasparino concluded.

But there was positive economic news for Americans.

Mortgage rates fell six weeks in a row.

The cost of eggs declined 21 percent since Trump took office, after shortages caused by Joe Biden’s mass killing of chickens in a failed response to the bird flu drove up the price.

Gas prices fell to the lowest levels since March 2021.

And inflation declined more than expected in the latest government report.
