On a single chaotic weekend, Fox News didn’t just defend Donald Trump — it face-planted on live television trying to convince America that everything is fine while the regime it props up is clearly unraveling.
This wasn’t news coverage. It was state TV in denial mode.
From fake “peace prizes” to election lies, from economic gaslighting to excuse-making for war crimes, Fox’s primetime propagandists lined up to worship Trump — and ended up proving just how broken and unserious the MAGA media ecosystem has become.
“Have You Ever Seen a Man Sit Like Gavin Newsom?”
It started with Jesse Watters, whose show has become a warmed-over version of Trump’s Truth Social feed.
Instead of talking about the economy, war crimes, health care, or the cost of living, Watters opened with… Gavin Newsom’s posture.
“Have you ever seen a man sit like Gavin Newsom?” he sneered, calling the California governor “weak” and “dainty,” as if chair posture is now a policy platform. Another panelist chimed in that “boss men” like Trump would never sit that way.
This is what passes for analysis in MAGA media: body-language bullying to distract from the fact that Trump’s presidency is imploding on every measurable front.
The Fake FIFA “Peace Prize”
Then Laura Ingraham proudly stepped in to praise Trump’s latest stunt: a made-up “FIFA Peace Award.”
As a Kennedy Center board member, she gushed about watching Trump “have fun” and be “celebrated,” telling viewers how moving it was to see him “honored” by FIFA’s president with a peace medal and slick tribute video.
What she didn’t mention: Trump and FIFA’s Gianni Infantino basically invented the award for Trump himself. There was no competition. No global process. Just a one-off vanity trinket for a man obsessed with trophies.
Even Greg Gutfeld later admitted the obvious tension: bragging that the award didn’t go to Greta Thunberg, while another panelist had to point out there were no other candidates. A peace prize created to flatter the guy hosting the World Cup — not for peace, but for access.
“God Gave Us COVID” So Trump Could Party
Then Watters went fully off the rails, arguing that God essentially used a global pandemic to… reboot Trump’s political life.
He fantasized about Trump presiding over UFC fights at the White House, the Olympics in Los Angeles, the World Cup, and “four years of birthday parties, international sporting events and octagon.”
“It’s almost like God gave us COVID to kick Trump out so he could reemerge,” he said, calling it “evidence there is a God.”
People buried loved ones. Millions got sick. And Fox is out here selling it as a divine scheduling adjustment so Trump can host more sports content.
Back to the Big Lie… Again
Despite settling a massive defamation case over 2020 election lies, Fox still can’t quit the Big Lie.
Discussing the Trump-supporting pipe bomber suspect — a conspiracy theorist parroting Trump’s stolen-election rhetoric — Watters floated that “we might find out the election was stolen,” then admitted it wasn’t even in the prompter. He just went there anyway.
Minutes later, he casually admitted: “I don’t know anything about this case. I haven’t been following it.” But that didn’t stop him from suggesting some shadow “deep state” spin and questioning basic facts about the investigation.
The formula is simple: ignorance first, conspiracy second, responsibility never.
Quiet Admissions: Small Businesses Are Hurting
In the middle of all this gaslighting, a Fox panelist accidentally let the truth slip out: small businesses are getting hammered.
High interest rates. Tariffs. Subchapter V bankruptcies. Owners struggling with costs and customer “elasticity” — people going elsewhere because prices are too high. It was one of the only grounded moments on the network: a brief, honest acknowledgment that Trump’s policies are hurting the very people he claims to champion.
Then Fox snapped right back to the script.
Blame Biden Forever, Invent Medals, Rewrite Reality
On another panel, a host proudly praised Trump’s Cabinet for “combating what the prior administration had done to them,” still blaming Biden for everything years later.
One panelist finally pushed back: if we’re going to blame every previous president, should we start blaming George Washington too?
Magá Mike Johnson, meanwhile, called this “one of the most productive congresses in history,” despite razor-thin margins, endless shutdown threats, and almost no serious legislation improving people’s lives.
And as national economic adviser Kevin Hassett insisted that Trump is “the best communicator” he’s ever seen, Fox kept shoveling the same message:
Nothing is Trump’s fault. Every failure is Biden’s. Every criticism is a smear. Every stunt is an achievement. Every fake medal is historic.
But watching them twist themselves into knots, it’s obvious:
Fox isn’t guiding a strong movement.
It’s desperately trying to prop up a failing one — live, in real time, for everyone to see.
