The claim came during the Fox Network talk show The Five, which Walters co-anchors.

“I’m not panicking, Dana, because I’m not looking,” a smug Watters chuckled. “I haven’t looked at my bank account. I’m afraid.”
“But I am just going to be patient,” he added. “And my people are going to set me up so when this thing rallies, I can say, in your face, and it will rally.”

Watters’ comment seemingly hit a nerve with several users on X. “Because @JesseBWatters, you are worth 10 million dollars,” one person sneered. “And that’s why you’re not panicking. MAGA, stop letting these rich liars brainwash you into thinking Trump is brilliant. How many times must you lose because of this conman?”

“He’s not managing money. He’s managing denial,” jeered a second person. “Another rich Republican who doesn’t worry about paying the electric bill,” a third person stated. “These people make millions and should sit this one out,” a fourth person said. “What a dick head Jesse is.”

The attack on Watters comes as another Fox News host turned on Trump by making a shocking acknowledgment that the president’s tariffs could possibly lead to a recession, just hours after offering a more optimistic perspective before Monday’s market opening. During America’s Newsroom, Maria Bartiromo emphasized the looming economic crisis on air.

Bartiromo made the comment during a discussion with host Dana Perino about the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs on everyday Americans. Bartiromo, a Trump loyalist and host of Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo, replied: “It will have an effect.”

She added that she “would not be surprised if this market reverses course entirely by the close.” Bartiromo continued that she believed “some things will become higher priced.” She added, “We’ll see some products actually be raising the price because companies will pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers.”

Speaking with Perino and fellow business reporter Sandra Smith, the anchor added she would “expect” price hikes. “That’s why you have some people saying we could see a recession. We’ll see a growth slowdown,” Bartiromo quipped.

Bartiromo then referenced Nancy Lazar, the Chief Global Economist at Piper Sandler, who had allegedly predicted a recession. “Sandler says, ‘If the tariffs stay in place for at least the next six months, even if only 50 percent of the price shocks where we see products go higher in price show through the economy, US real GDP is on track to decline about one percent in the second quarter and third quarter with unemployment rising,’” Bartiromo read.
“But look,” Bartiromo added, noting how the president previously stated we would see a disruption. “We’re in the disruption right now,” she said. Since she spoke, the Dow has increased by about 460 points, and as of 11:00 a.m. ET that day, it is less than one percent lower than Friday’s closing price.Despite this, the index, which gauges the economic health of 30 major American blue-chip companies, remains down by 10 percent compared to this time last month, following Trump’s announcement of his tariff policies last week. Trump has repeatedly refused to change course on the tariffs, arguing that higher import charges are necessary to stimulate the economy and boost US-made goods.
