Pro-Trump influencers like Dave Portnoy, Adin Ross, DJ Akademics and Ben Shapiro are now complaining about Trump’s tariffs despite using their massive platforms to boost him before the election. They even joked about wanting Kamala Harris to “come back.” Furthermore, tech CEOs who endorsed Trump—or donated to his inauguration fund—have lost a combined $1.8 trillion in market value due to Trump’s tariffs.
Additionally, GameStop’s CEO, Ryan Cohen, promoted Trump endlessly on Twitter before the election, but half-seriously stated that he’s turning into a Democrat due to Trump’s tariffs. But oligarchs and executives aren’t the only ones mad about tariffs; gamers are outraged that pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have been postponed due to Trump’s tariffs, and some of Trump’s own supporters are horrified after losing thousands of dollars from their retirement funds because of the tariff-induced stock market plunge. In this video we’ll talk about these reactions to Trump’s tariffs.
