Fox Business host asked if the economy was “too good”, following the release of the Labor Department report.
LOADINGERROR LOADING. Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo seemed really frustrated by good news about the U.S. economy Friday.. A new report from the Labor Department showed American employers had hired 303,000 workers in March, causing the unemployment rate to drop from 3.9% to 3.8%.. Advertisement. In addition, the jobless rate has come in under 4% for 26 months in a row, according to The Associated Press.. Sound like good news? Maybe, if you’re an average person who wants the country and its citizens to do well economically regardless of which party holds the White House.. But Bartiromo had a different take, and she spent part of Friday finding ways to poke holes in a report that stunned CNBC’s Rick Santelli and that CNN’s John Berman called “boffo.”. Journalist Aaron Rupar documented the Fox personality going through some things live on air and posted the clips to X, formerly Twitter..

At one point, Bartiromo asked if the very good numbers could be “too good.”. “It’s a good number, but is it too good for rate cuts?” — Maria Bartiromo wonders if the economy is TOO good pic.twitter.com/qjGMVhjKpi. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 5, 2024. Conservative economist Stephen Moore tried to help Bartiromo’s case by suggesting that Donald Trump, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, deserves credit for the good report instead of incumbent President Joe Biden.. “I just wonder if maybe the market is pricing in a little bit, and employers too, the idea that maybe we’re going to get a new president in November,” Moore said.. “I just wonder if maybe the market is pricing in a little bit, and employers too, the idea that maybe we’re gonna get a new president in November” — Maria Bartriomo and company find a way to give Trump credit for the strong Biden economy. Amazing! pic.twitter.com/fIkonoBvC8. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 5, 2024. Advertisement. As you might have expected, Bartiromo’s attempt to make good news look bad inspired a lot of social media schadenfreude.. Bartiromo: “Our audience needs to give us more time to explain why this is bad news for Biden and the Democrats.” 🤭 https://t.co/L7RG8YBTIf. — Sarah Larchmont (@SarahLarchmont) April 5, 2024. Fox forced to confront facts is the best show in town. https://t.co/O3v3MT7t6i. — Jennifer Schulze (@NewsJennifer) April 5, 2024. Great US economic news is always a stomach ache for FauxNews. Comical. https://t.co/1HemiYkf4w. — David Law (@davidkeithlaw) April 5, 2024. It’s so wild that when the jobs report misses Fox spins it as the economy is decelerating due to Biden policy but when it over performs the talking point is this is too hot for interest rates to be cut which is bad. If this was under Trump they’d be convulsing. https://t.co/IRVnC3BLLP. — JG (@jg_major) April 5, 2024. Advertisement. But Moore’s sycophantic suggestion that Trump is the reason for the strong report really inspired mockery.. Trump’s digital media company’s stock hit a new post-IPO low about 20 minutes after trading opened this morning. https://t.co/fyF6buUIUx. — Jonathan Nicholson (@JNicholsonInDC) April 5, 2024. Yeah, sure, everyone’s making trades based on Trump coming back, cause I mean, come on, look at Truth Social. https://t.co/LWvAecc3DH. — Michelangelo Signorile (@MSignorile) April 5, 2024. Right-wing cope: “The economy is so good now because companies are hoping Trump will be president in nine months!” https://t.co/pYQ8zkcDVH. — XLProfessor (@XLProfessor) April 5, 2024. Quite the mental gymnastics to somehow give Trump credit for this great economy https://t.co/18DmATBZV7. — Token White Dude (@tokenwhitedude) April 5, 2024. Advertisement. Support HuffPost.
