Summary
A video of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins praising Trump’s new tariffs while standing beside a screen showing the Dow Jones down 1,200+ points has gone viral with 1.1 million views.
Trump’s tariffs target over 180 countries, with a 10% baseline on all imports and higher rates on key partners, including China (34%) and the EU (20%).
The administration claims the policy will boost U.S. manufacturing, but analysts warn of economic risks.
Rollins also faced questions over rising egg prices and unclear tariff impacts on food imports.
Bahahaah, I think some folk are sad about this articleEdit: Commenter was correct, darn. Replaced image where the needle was off the left side. It changes after voting.

I thought that was the meter’s default position before casting a vote, because that’s where I see the needle in every article of theirs.
It’s a terribly biased design and makes me question their reporting skills. Anyone knows if you have to show a default value it should be placed in a neutral position, otherwise you bias the poll/study/etc.
The default being all the way to the left isn’t good.
Probably more like right-wing astroturfing hitting every article with bots voting “unfair left leaning” the second an article publishes.
You’re right, damn I feel silly
