Megyn Kelly tore into a New York Times headline asking if Trump’s tariff deal benefits Europe, blasting the focus with simple American ferocity. “Who gives a st?!” she shot back, targeting the paper’s obsession with foreign nations. Kelly reminded viewers that politics isn’t about global approval hunts, but real American workers and industries hit by trade cheats.
Trump’s tariffs aim to stop China’s cheating in trade deals exposing loopholes the NYT ignores. Big companies like Gap and H&M paid millions in taxes while Chinese rivals slipped through legal cracks, selling unsafe products and hauling in profits. Kelly branded this unfair competition as a slap to hardworking Americans.
Conservatives back Trump’s “America First” tariffs as necessary national defense. China’s been stealing technology, ripping off brands, and flooding US markets with cheap junk. Kelly called tariffs a strong response to these aggressions – even if they’re unpopular with globalist elites.
The NYT headline’s Europe fixation exposes its anti-patriotic bias. When Trump acts for American workers, they somehow turn it into a question about France or Germany. Kelly mocked this obsession with choosing socialist nations over the USA’s interests.
Some small businesses struggle with higher costs, like the $229k tariffs on $158k products that forced one entrepreneur to the brink. But Kelly argued these are short-term pains for long-term strategy. “We can’t keep funding China’s rise!” supporters shout.
Unlike the NYT, which fears offending Brussels, Kelly spoke for Americans sick of being globalist doormats. She roasted outdated media firms clinging to “corporate rules” while treating independent voices like unwashed peasants. Her blunt message: start fighting for your own country first.
The debate isn’t about tariffs – it’s about choosing American workers over foreign rivals. Kelly called the NYT article a perfect example of media elitism. “They don’t care if your family can’t afford a house because China cheats!” she fired back.
Reject the idea that America should beg Europe’s approval. Kelly’s fiery response reflects Trump’s belief in national self-reliance. For her, the only “good deal” is one thatprioritizes American jobs over globalist whining.
