#TrumpTariffs
Conservative Fox News has removed the DOW index ticker from its broadcast for the first time in 30 years.
This move is likely linked to the sharp decline in the index following the introduction of sweeping tariffs by Trump — over the past few days, the DOW has dropped by approximately 7 percent.
For reference: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) is one of the oldest and most well-known stock market indices in the United States. It reflects the performance of 30 of the largest and most stable American companies, such as Apple, Boeing, Coca-Cola, and others. A drop in the index indicates declining investor confidence and a general deterioration in the state of the economy or the stock market.
Fox News' decision to stop displaying the ticker may be an attempt to reduce the visual impact of the crash and avoid further damaging the image of Trump's policies in the eyes of viewers (Fox is the main media platform for Republicans, and a large portion of the current U.S. president's supporters rely on it for their news).
