Thu Apr 10 03:20:00 UTC 2025: ## MAGA Leftist Claims Trump’s Tariffs Combat “Masculinity Crisis”
**NEW YORK, NY** – Political commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon argues that President Donald Trump’s controversial tariffs are a key component in addressing a “crisis in masculinity” in America. Appearing on Fox News, Ungar-Sargon, who self-identifies as a “MAGA leftist,” linked the crisis to the outsourcing of manual labor jobs, arguing that this deprived men of purpose. She claims Trump’s policies are a rejection of this trend, explaining his 2024 election win as a result of the Democratic Party’s perceived failure to support young men. She further praised Trump’s economic policies, asserting that they are vital to preserving the “American Dream” and criticizing Wall Street for “shorting” his agenda. Ungar-Sargon blamed previous administrations for importing “millions of illegals” into jobs traditionally held by American men, exacerbating the issue. Her views contrast sharply with those of other commentators like Paul Begala, who criticized Trump’s trade war for harming his own supporters. Begala, appearing on CNN, suggested that the economic downturn resulting from the tariffs could benefit the Democrats. Even MAGA supporter Joe Rogan criticized Trump’s tariffs, particularly those targeting Canada, calling the situation “ridiculous.” Ungar-Sargon’s arguments are detailed further in her books, “Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy” and “Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women.”
