Trump's $5,000 Promise Meets Misogynistic Framing on Fox

Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi argues Fox News host Jesse Watters framed Trump’s proposed $5,000 checks as an “enticement” akin to a woman, a misogynistic dig that distracts from the policy’s vagueness and funding questions. She notes the plan would require unfunded promises and could add to debt and inflation, citing economists who doubt how it would be financed. The piece also emphasizes that the real story is Trump’s willingness to meddle with elections and weaken safeguards, against a backdrop of broader misogynistic rhetoric in right‑wing media.
