Fox Host Says ‘No One Wants What Trump Is Doing Except The MAGA Crowd’ — Praises Trump’s ‘Courage’

Fox News host Laura Ingraham said that President Donald Trump is the only president with the “courage” to take action on trade when “no one wants what Trump is doing except the MAGA crowd.”

Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was a guest on Tuesday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, during which Ingraham ripped the press over coverage of the tariff policies that have roiled the economy yet hasn’t consummated any deals thus far.

She and Bessent agreed no other president has had the “courage” to do what Trump has:

INGRAHAM: Yeah. The press on this has been so predictably bad, and I think they ultimately know that, you know, what Trump is trying to do is try to just reorient things and reset things, but no one wants what Trump is doing except, you know, the MAGA crowd, the reset crowd.

Wall Street doesn’t want to do this. They would be happy to roll the dice with the status quo. Is that not the case?

But Trump has the courage to do this. No other president was going to touch it, period, end of story.

BESSENT: Well, Laura, no — no one has, and that’s how we’ve gotten here.

When President Trump says the — he doesn’t blame the other countries for taking advantage of us, he blames the previous presidents at the Resolute Desk, I agree with him, because when these countries come with these good deals, like this is a great deal, how — how — how do we get here? How do we get here?

And you know, the other thing, too, is we’ve created this barbell economy. So, of course, the status quo has done well.

So, the status quo is we have advanced finance. We have the tech sector that’s the envy of the world. On the other side, we have a natural resources economy led by energy, which by the way, the last administration tried to kill. And President Trump is filling in the arc in between with manufacturing jobs.

You know, we’re down to 8 percent manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and research has shown the best way to get the wage — real wage increases is in manufacturing jobs, not in the service sector.

INGRAHAM: Mr. Secretary, thank you for joining us on a very big news night.
