Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro criticized the rollout of Trump’s tariff proposals, stating that the idea that tariffs make the economy strong is flawed. Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy, despite losing millions in the recent market plunge, plans to stick with Trump and believes the president is playing a strategic game with tariffs. Joe Rogan, another influential podcaster who endorsed Trump, has criticized the president’s feud with Canada and deportations. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman warned of an “economic nuclear war” from Trump’s tariffs, expressing frustration over what he sees as a major policy error. Even Elon Musk, a top adviser to Trump, has expressed skepticism about tariffs and advocated for a zero-tariff situation between Europe and North America. This growing dissent among Trump’s former supporters highlights concerns over the impact of his tariff policies on the economy.
