Democratic lawmakers are not sure why the stock market has soared under President Donald Trump despite their gloomy predictions for the administration’s prices while speaking on FOX News Digital On Capitol Hill.
Some downplay the success of the market, showing that it has no effect on the actual economic performance of the country.
Asked by FOX News Digital Why the stock market is doing well if Trump’s tariffs hurt the economy, Sen. Cather., “The stock market is not the economy.”
He emphasized that because of the taxes, Americans “feel they are getting prices when they go to the grocery store, higher prices.”
“Taxes are the cause of that. Taxes or taxes on the American people,” he said. “And that’s why those prices are high. And that’s why I fought it.”

“Corporations got huge tax breaks, $7 billion in big, bad tax breaks,” Jayapal said. “That’s why the stock market is doing well, because the stock is actually, you know, a lot of those big companies feel like they’re doing just fine, they’re continuing to get a big tax break.”
Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-MD., said “it doesn’t matter what the stock market says, [Americans] they saw the cost of food was endless. They see that the cost of health care has increased dramatically. They can’t afford it. They cannot afford the cost of goods. “
“That’s what they expect us to respond to, how we affect them and their daily lives. And that’s what I got from doing,” he continued.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told fox digital news that “every American knows that the price of goods in terms of taxes is high.”
“The stock market is important to a lot of people, but prices are more important to people. And right now, people are hurting because of Trump’s economic policies,” he said. “This is not where the Democrats are. It’s true that tariffs are costing consumers thousands of dollars.”
The Trump administration, meanwhile, has blamed the administration’s bid for persistently high grocery prices and not tariffs.

On Friday, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavett was sent to X, urging the American people to ‘justify that the proven formats’ worked during his first term, and they are working slowly but surely working now. “
“President Trump and his NEC, from the NEC to the Toaster to the Usda, are working hard every day to address the most pressing issues in modern American history – something that has been built on freedom and democracy over the past 4 years.”
Leavitt wrote that “the price of eggs, butter, ice cream, fresh fruit, grains, fish, seafood, rice, and the best is yet to come.”
Back on Capitol Hill, Sen. hy John Hoeven, RN.D., reiterated this view, saying, “The point that [Democrats] that’s what they lost [Trump] he’s trying to get us better terms in all the countries we export to, he’s trying to get a level playing field, to try to increase our exports. “
He explains: “You have to separate the short term from what will happen in the long run. “They are trying to make an argument in the short term because of some challenges to get other countries to play well.”
“You have to work through the process,” Hoeven continued. “The President did that in his first term, and we ended up with big sales in China and other places, and that helped our markets and other sales. But it doesn’t happen overnight.”
