Trump Criticizes MSNBC Hosts Over Tariffs, UK Trade Deal Disputes

President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized MSNBC and host Stephanie Ruhle over their coverage of his tariff policies and trade deal with the United Kingdom. Ruhle warned that Trump's trade war could lead to a supply chain crisis similar to that seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, predicting negative economic impacts and urging Trump to backtrack on tariffs. In response, Trump accused Ruhle of spreading lies and questioned her intelligence, calling MSNBC a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party and advocating for the network to face taxes and penalties as a political advocate. Trump praised the UK trade deal as "amazing" and highlighted British Airways' large Boeing order as a success. Despite Trump's claims of victory, critics described the deal as modest and insufficient to ease trade tensions. The feud reflects ongoing tensions between Trump and mainstream media outlets critical of his policies and leadership.
