A Fox News segment celebrated a Trump administration tariff on imported kitchen cabinets and credited it for creating 400 jobs at a factory in Alabama, even though the plant’s construction was actually announced in 2022 during the Biden administration. The segment also downplayed the tariff’s likelihood of increasing housing costs, which the network recently bemoaned, as inflation for kitchen furnishings is already nearly twice as high as the overall inflation rate.

The new factory, which a Fox graphic showed is owned by Wellborn Cabinet, was first announced — along with its estimate of creating 415 jobs — in August 2022 during the Biden administration. Fox crediting Trump’s tariff policies for a supposedly new plant that was announced well before his second term began echoes a pattern from the first Trump administration of media outlets erroneously granting Trump credit for business decisions that he had little or nothing to do with.

Fox also downplayed the effect of Trump’s tariff on imported kitchen cabinets on increased housing costs, even though just weeks ago Fox was expressing concern over the high cost of housing and embracing dubious Trump policies to address those costs. Some of those policies, experts said, were likely to make housing even more expensive. Fox had also recently praised Trump for lowering his own tariffs in an effort to address the higher prices that they contributed to.

The most recent Consumer Price Index report shows that the inflation rate for living room, kitchen, and dining room furniture for the past year stood at 5.9%, nearly double the overall inflation rate of 3% for the past year.

And as Fox is celebrating the addition of 400 jobs making kitchen cabinets — which, again, were announced more than three years ago and were not created due to Trump’s tariff — other companies that install cabinets into homes said that the price hike from the tariff may cost them business. This was a major consequence experienced during the first Trump administration, during which Trump’s 25% tariff on steel imports led to a job gain of 1,000 in the steel production industry, but a 75,000 job loss in the overall manufacturing industry that consumed steel.
