Fox Shades Trump With Seemingly Never-Ending List Of Goods Impacted By Trump's Tariffs

During a segment with Rep. Nancy Mace, Fox News aired an extremely long scroll of products and industries that will be affected by Donald Trump's newly announced tariffs.

During a segment with South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace, Fox News had many thinking the network was shading President Donald Trump by airing an extremely long scroll of products and industries that will be affected by his newly announced tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, Mexico, and China.

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.


Trump has championed tariffs, arguing falsely that foreign nations bear the cost. In reality, it is American importers—businesses that purchase goods from abroad—who pay the tariffs, with the revenue going directly to the U.S. Treasury.

These companies often offset their increased costs by raising prices for consumers, meaning that tariffs ultimately function as a hidden tax on American shoppers.

During the segment, Fox News displayed an animated scroll of nearly two dozen products and brands that will be "affected by Trump tariffs." The list ranged from common grocery staples like cherry tomatoes, sugar, bananas, maple syrup, ground beef, and strawberries to high-cost items such as automobiles.

And over the scroll, Fox anchor Jon Scott made the obvious point:

“It seems like virtually every sector of the American economy potentially could be targeted by these tariffs and the tariffs that Mexico and Canada have now announced that they will institute against U.S. goods."

When Trump has lost even Fox on this issue... well, people were quick to point out just what a disaster these tariffs are for everyone.

Inflation is our prize. We sure showed them!

"...may drive up prices" WILL drive up prices ... like we told you it would. Looks like the lib-tards knew what we were talking about!

The MAGA's still aren't paying attention. And they won't until it hits them personally. And even then, once they're laid off, no or limited health insurance, limited grocery options they will feel like they're doing their patriotic duty to MAKE AMERICA GREAT.

1. Trump punches his supporters in the face. 2. Trump supporters say “yay, this is what I voted for! MAGA forever!” Which is why these people can’t be reasoned with.

When you have tariffs on fuel, you have tariffs on everything - supply chain to production to logistics. Many goods will go higher than the initial slapped tariff once that starts to bite. Which is marvellous.

isn’t that what they wanted? because everyone is so unfair? 😎🤣

Might have been better to show a list of what's *not* impacted.

Not only do tariffs increase costs for companies and consumers dependent on imports but they often lead to retaliatory measures.

For example, the European Union responded to Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs by imposing taxes on U.S. goods like bourbon and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Similarly, China countered Trump’s trade war by placing tariffs on American products such as soybeans and pork, strategically targeting agricultural regions that formed a key part of his support base.

But despite all the evidence that imposing tariffs is detrimental to the American public and the economy, Trump has baselessly claimed that tariffs are "the greatest thing ever invented," asserting that tariffs can prevent wars "with a phone call."
