Fox News’ Trey Gowdy Takes A Bite Out Of Trump Policy With Movie-Themed Burn

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Fox News host Trey Gowdy on Sunday served up a “Silence of the Lambs”-inspired quip to critique the fallout from President Donald Trump’s economic agenda. “I’ve been watching ‘Silence of the Lambs’ because it’s less scary for me than looking at the stock market,” Gowdy, a Republican former South Carolina congressman, told Forbes Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes during a discussion about Trump’s tariffs that have, so far at least, tanked the markets. “The president is not relenting on tariffs, but neither are other countries,” Gowdy noted, referring to retaliatory measures being put in place by America’s former economic allies and trading partners. Forbes advised not to focus too much on the “Hannibal” aspect of the situation, referring to Anthony Hopkins’ fictional cannibalistic character Hannibal Lecter in the hit 1991 horror film — a character Trump, incidentally, weirdly loved to heap praise on during his 2024 campaign.
