💥 BREAKING NEWS: Fox News melts down on live TV as Trump’s economic death spiral exposes their affordability cover-up⚡NN

On the surface, it looked like any other day on Fox News. But underneath the polished graphics and loud panels, there was something else: panic.

Donald Trump was slipping in the polls. The latest ADP private jobs report came in like a punch to the gut — 35,000 jobs lost when experts predicted 40,000 new jobs created. Affordability was collapsing, wages weren’t keeping up, and everyday Americans were drowning in costs. Yet Trump kept insisting affordability was “one big scam,” and his favorite media machine followed his lead, too scared to even say the word on air.

During a live segment, one Fox host unintentionally exposed the fear.

“We continue to wait for President Trump to speak… announcing the latest move in— I don’t want to say the affordability agenda because he might text me…”

They laughed it off, but the subtext was crystal clear: they weren’t just covering Trump. They were terrified of him.

So instead of talking about rising costs, job losses, and economic anxiety, Fox reached for its favorite tool: distraction.

Enter Sabrina Carpenter.

The pop star had publicly condemned Trump’s team for using her music in propaganda videos showing migrants being tortured and terrorized. Instead of respecting her rights as an artist, the Trump orbit and its media allies turned her into a target. One host sneered that she simulates oral sex on stage, implying she had no right to be outraged.

Suddenly, it wasn’t about her music being stolen. It was about shaming her.

The theme spread across the network. Panels mocked her album art. They sexualized her performances. One segment even tried to pivot to Sydney Sweeney just so they could flash more images on screen and rant about “hot Republican women.” A Fox guest confidently declared:

“All Republican women are hot… when you register Republican, you just get hotter.”

It sounded less like news and more like a desperate dating app pitch for the party.

Then came the Melania worship. Another guest declared that Melania Trump had “always been the epitome of class” and was “born” to decorate the White House — somehow turning holiday decorations into a test of political loyalty and purity. They even joked that people who say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” “aren’t Republicans,” as if seasonal greetings are now party ID badges.

But as the segments got more absurd, the reality outside the studio only got harsher.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besson slipped up live, saying, “We could be at 4% inflation—excuse me, 4% real growth,” accidentally putting the real fear out loud before trying to walk it back. Meanwhile, Americans were staring down the loss of Affordable Care Act subsidies as of December 31. Health insurance costs were beginning to crush families. ADP job numbers were flashing warning signs.

Fox still wouldn’t stay on it.

Instead, they turned to culture-war comfort food: Gavin Newsom’s leg position, a Turning Point USA–manufactured outrage about a religious pre-med student failing a science-based assignment, and, of course, a new villain: Somalians.

One Republican claimed that “80% of the crimes” in Minnesota’s Twin Cities were committed by Somali people — an inflammatory, racist claim with no serious evidence presented. Greg Gutfeld called it “refreshing” that Trump could attack Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and “Somalians” without being “called all these names,” framing cruelty as bravery.

All while Trump pardoned major fraudsters, drug traffickers, and Ponzi schemers.

The disconnect was stunning.

On one side: Americans struggling with healthcare, inflation, job losses, and housing.
On the other: Fox News obsessing over pop stars, actresses, legs, album covers, and imaginary culture wars — anything to keep their viewers from asking the one question they’re most afraid of:

If Trump is “saving” the economy… why does life keep getting harder?

By the end, the pattern was unmistakable. When Trump’s numbers fall and the economic reality turns bleak, Fox doesn’t report — it deflects. Women become props. Minorities become scapegoats. Faith becomes a shield. And the word “affordability,” the thing haunting millions of households, becomes too dangerous to say out loud.

That’s not news.
That’s state-aligned propaganda in a death spiral.
