Fox News’ The Five co-host Jeanine Pirro declared bluntly that she didn’t “really care” about her 401(k) on Thursday after the stock market nosedived in response to President Donald Trump’s new tariffs.
During a debate about Trump’s controversial tariffs, and their economic effect in the United States, Pirro declared:
When President Trump first started going after Canada and Mexico, everybody was like, “Oh my gosh, they’re our neighbors, they’re wonderful people, why are we doing this? We love the Canadians.” Well, the truth is China is making cars in Mexico and Canada and not paying a tariff on them and selling them in the United States while they are putting a tariff on our cars. Look, you are going to tariff my goods, but I’m going to lay down and let you roll all over me and sell your stuff with virtually no tariff on it? Enough. And this is what Donald Trump ran on and he’s delivering.
The Fox News co-host then said, “And you know what? I don’t really care about my 401(k) today. You know why? Not that I can afford it, not that it isn’t important, not that I’m not at a point in my life where I should be worried about my 401(k), because I am, but this is what I believe. I believe in this man.”
She explained, “I believe that what we are seeing now with his bringing in a trillion dollars in business and manufacturing, and companies moving back to the United States, and seeing what we saw during Covid when we couldn’t– we had all those supply chain problems, we couldn’t get medicine in this country, other countries were prioritizing themselves before they were sending stuff to us, it’s about time we recognized we’ve got to have manufacturing in this country, and we need to bring them to the table.”
Pirro concluded, “And Donald Trump is the only one who can do it because he’s got the biggest consumer base in the world, he’s not afraid of anybody.”
The Dow went down by 2.7% on Thursday after Trump unveiled new “reciprocal tariffs” on dozens of countries and territories, including uninhabited islands.
