Axios Co-Founder Trots Onto Morning Joe to Rip | Political News

As we have witnessed for almost 10 years, the TDS-riddled left-“leaning” media has taken (and deliberately created) each alternative doable to trash President Donald Trump on the drop of a proverbial hat.

The Democrats’ lapdog media’s newest Trump-bashing fave is the president’s tariff coverage. 

Yet, when Trump hit the pause button on Wednesday — holding off on tariffs on most nations for 90 days, at the same time as he kicked tariffs on imports from China up to 125 p.c — the standard suspects jumped on the self-created alternative to blast him.

One of these regulars was Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei, who trotted onto MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” no much less, to clarify to Joe Scarborough and spouse Mika Brzezinski — and the 50 people or no matter who watch their ridiculous show — that the explanation Trump paused the tariffs was as a result of he “panicked.” Yeah.

Love Trump or detest him, however that is a man who would not panic — even when it means persevering with to pursue issues that do not end up in his favor.

Scarborough kicked off the absurd festivities:

Jim VandeHei, the president, preparing for Masters weekend by using that well-known {golfing} time period, the yips—is what you say about any person standing over a putt that does not know how to get it within the gap—however stated that issues have been getting a little yippy. 

That included additionally, of course, the bond markets, the place a actual concern, this one Scott Bessent and others went to the president saying this might go sideways in a short time. 

In golf slang, “yips” (or generally “yippy”) refers to a sudden and involuntary loss of control of the fingers or wrists; typically manifesting as flinching or jerking actions, significantly when placing or chipping.

VandeHei was of course throughout it — after which some (emphasis, mine):

Yeah, I imply, make no mistake, he panicked. It’s most likely the primary time we have seen him blink in such a public means. 

He was underneath a lot of stress from GOP senators, a lot of CEOs, a lot of traders, Elon Musk, people calling him saying, pay attention, look, not simply the bond market, take a look at the common market, take a look at the bond market, take a look at the greenback. That a actual financial collapse was within the offing. And he noticed that and he hit pause. 

And then you definitely had his whole group come out and say, no, this was like half of the artwork of the deal. And I do not assume anybody’s shopping for that. Certainly, a lot of people internally aren’t shopping for it. They underestimated the impact it might have on the markets. 

Look, one can have combined emotions on Trump’s sweeping tariffs coverage, rightly or wrongly, however to counsel that Trump “panicked” somewhat than maybe listened to Musk and others who suggested him to hit the break pedal, enable the markets to stabilize, after which maybe regulate his coverage, is to accomplish that out merely wanting to assault the president.

And trotting onto the set of MSNBC’s late-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome “Morning Joe” is simply the place to trash Trump.

VandeHei continued: 

And now, yes, the market’s surged, however when you speak to CEOs, there’s nonetheless a lot unpredictability. You mainly changed the most important, possibly the most important commerce conflict of generations with one other, possibly the second largest commerce conflict, which is us versus China. Which is likely to be a larger deal, and it is now escalated, which nonetheless creates a h**l of a lot of uncertainty for CEOs. 

In different phrases, Mr. President, damned when you do; damned when you do not.
