The liberal media and their Wall Street allies are in full panic mode as President Donald Trump’s bold tariff policies deliver historic wins for America’s working class. On a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, former Democrat Batya Ungar-Sargon—author of Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women—delivered a blistering takedown of the elitist hypocrisy surrounding Trump’s economic nationalism. While the corporate media wrings its hands over stock market fluctuations, Trump’s policies are already reversing decades of industrial decline, securing the border, and reviving American manufacturing.
“We all agree that the deindustrialization of America led to the downward mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, people working multiple jobs, and not being able to afford the American dream,” Ungar-Sargon declared. Yet, when Trump finally stands up to China, Mexico, and the globalist elites who have profited off the backs of American workers, the same media that ignored working-class suffering for decades suddenly pretends to care about “economic stability.” The reality? “The number of people crossing the Southern border is at zero. Fentanyl is at record lows… We have already seen $1.2 trillion in manufacturing invested in this country since January 21st.”
The liberal establishment’s outrage isn’t about policy—it’s about power. For years, Democrats and their Wall Street donors have shipped jobs overseas, opened the border, and flooded the country with deadly drugs while lecturing Americans about “free trade.” Now, Trump’s reciprocal tariffs are forcing foreign nations to play fair, halting the fentanyl crisis, and bringing factories back to U.S. soil. “Suddenly, everybody is sitting around going, ‘Oh, no, the stock market.’ Yeah, the stock market looks like that because the rich are punishing Trump for siding with the neglected and humiliated American working class over them,” Ungar-Sargon fired back.
Kari Lake, a fearless America First champion, echoed these sentiments, highlighting how Trump’s policies are a direct rebuke to the bipartisan betrayal of blue-collar Americans. While the media obsesses over stock tickers, they ignore the real story: “People cannot believe that there is a President who is working for them, who is putting them first and telling Wall Street to go screw itself.”

Here's the truth about tariffs: For 60 years they destroyed the American working class to funnel money upwards into the pockets of the rich. Donald Trump is the first president in generations to tell Wall Street to screw itself—he's for the working men and women of this country. pic.twitter.com/sCZRFeITYh

The liberal media’s meltdown over Trump’s tariffs proves one thing—they fear a president who can’t be bought. For too long, they’ve dismissed working-class voters as “uneducated” or “xenophobic” while pushing policies that destroyed their livelihoods. Now, as Trump reverses the damage, their desperation is showing.
