'They're Terrified'!' Steve Doocy Sounds Alarm on Trump Tariffs Freaking Out Major Republican Donors [View all]

Major Republican donors watching the stock market tank following President Donald Trump’s controversial tariff policy are “terrified” about the broader political implications, according to Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy.

Chad Pergram filed a report on Wednesday morning about the political impact of Trump’s new trade policies. “Democrats are adamant that the president is wrecking the economy,” he said. “They ask why the U.S. applied tariffs on allies, which agreed to the USMCA. That’s the trade pact implemented by the president during his first term.”

“Given the fact that China’s now going to have an 84 percent tariff on U.S. goods, I see that the stock market futures, the market’s going to open in 90 minutes — they’re down like 600 or 700 points again,” Doocy noted.

“How much pressure are Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill getting from their constituents? And a lot of them have major donors who are invested in the stock markets, and they’re terrified!”
