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.
It was subtle, but the stock ticker listing of currency/USD to get a bunch of green triangles in there, and then the price of eggs using the red triangle to really throw the green=good/red=bad paradigm off was inspired, in a malicious and slimy sorta way.
