On Wednesday, Newsweek Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon the author of the best-selling book, “Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women” joined Piers Morgan, Kari Lake and others in a panel discussion on President Liberation Day announcements including reciprocal tariffs for US trading partners.
For the first time in a generation, the US has a president who prioritizes the American worker and middle-class families.
Piers Morgan dedicated his show to Trump’s tariff programs that were introduced on Liberation Day.
Batya Ungar Sargon, author of Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women, didn’t hold back.
A former Democrat-turned-populist champion, Batya explained how Trump’s economic nationalism is finally putting the brakes on Wall Street’s unchecked control over American life.
Batya emphasized that Trump’s tariff policies aren’t theoretical—they’re already working.
Batya is always someone you want to stop and listen to. This former Democrat really gets Trump.
Batya Ungar Sargon: What I find so frustrating about the conversation around tariffs is that we all agree on the problem. We all agree that the deindustrialization of America led to the downward mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, people working multiple jobs, and not being able to afford the American dream.
We all agree that it is deeply unfair for the American middle class to be bearing the burden of unfair tariffs from other countries. We all agree that it is great for the President to have leverage in order to demand reasonable things like that country stop allowing Fentanyl to murder 100,000 Americans every year, and that Mexico do its part to police its own border.
And yet when somebody has the courage to show up and say to Wall Street, “Screw you, I’m waging class warfare on behalf of the American working class, and you, elites in Wall Street, you do what you need to do because I’m not going to stop fighting for the American working class!”
Suddenly, everybody is sitting around going, Oh, no, the stock market. Yeah, the stock market looks like that because the rich are punishing Trump for siding with the neglected and humiliated American working class over them.
We have already seen these tariffs work, Pierce. The number of people crossing the Southern border is at zero. Fentanyl is at record lows for For the last 10 years, we have already seen $1. 2 trillion in manufacturing invested in this country since January 21st.
So they have already worked. Now, how long is Wall Street going to keep trying to punish this President for standing for the American working class?
I don’t know, but I can tell you that the view from the street is people cannot believe that there is a President who is working for them, who is putting them first and telling Wall Street to go screw itself. Wall Street, which picked the Democrats for the last three election cycles in a row. That’s what the real story is here.
Kari Lake was completely on board with Batya, as you see in the video.

Here’s the truth about tariffs: For 60 years they destroyed the American working class to funnel money upwards into the pockets of the rich. Donald Trump is the first president in generations to tell Wall Street to screw itself—he’s for the working men and women of this country. pic.twitter.com/sCZRFeITYh
