Billionaires are Turning on Trump

[Anonymous]

Oh lookie...billionaires are realizing that he's running te economy into the ground and criticizing Trump without taking any responsibility for having helped buy him a second term

Wealthy business leaders are turning on US President Donald Trump over his plan to impose a colossal set of tariffs on America’s trading partners, as losses mount on stock markets around the world.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, warned Sunday that going ahead with the new tariffs was tantamount to launching an “economic nuclear war.”

On Wednesday, Trump said he would impose significantly higher “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries that have the highest trade imbalances with the United States.

In a post on X, Ackman said “business investment will grind to a halt, (and) consumers will close their wallets” if the new levies do indeed come into force. “We will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate,” he added in the post, which was viewed 10.6 million times

Unless Trump changes tack, “we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down,” the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management warned.

“What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?” he said, adding that “the president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe.”

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warned Monday that the tariffs threatened to raise prices, drive the global economy into a downturn and weaken America’s standing in the world.

“The recent tariffs will likely increase inflation and are causing many to consider a greater probability of a recession,” Dimon said in an annual letter to shareholders. “Whether or not the menu of tariffs causes a recession remains in question, but it will slow down growth.”

These men should have known better. Business "leaders" my butt. Everyone knows Trump is a nutty wild card with dementia and penchant for chaos. Their bad for helping get him elected. If the rest of us weren't going down even harder with them, I'd be LMAO right now at these jokers.

Most of the billionaires were against Trump to begin with.

Related to what you are saying, this sounds like such an interesting analysis of what is going on. That the billionaires thought they bought trump off (so they supported him)...but didn't realize that he was actually crazy (regarding tariffs).. it's also interesting that Musk keeps saying he hates tariffs... and really the only smart person is Bessent.. who, I just read, said fired feds will fill manufacturing jobs.. what?!

Someone posted in another thread that the surviving Koch brother (Charles or David) is suing Trump over tariffs.

There is a good opinion piece about how shite finance bros and billionaires were at predicting Trump’s reign of chaos.

Do you think Elon was wearing those Maga hats for fun? I like that one, "Trump was right all along." The Tech bros were just trying to staunch the bleeding from when the Democrat platform collapsed and diffuse the Trump h-1b threat.

Trump does not care. He's an old man, a lame duck, and he has nothing to lose. He's on a revenge spree, a child knocking down his toys because he can and because the adults are all gone, so he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, and his Nanny's so high on meth she won't stop him.

The billionaires don't have Trump's ear. No one does. He LOVES tariffs because he thinks they provide free money that he can use to declare a gigantic tax break for himself and his wealthy crowd, while the US goes $4 trillion deeper into debt.

This will all come crashing down, but that's Putin's plan (the KGB guy is laughing at all of us). The GOP has the power to stop Trump, but they are spineless cowards who will do nothing because they've all been bought by Putin, and they fear for their jobs, which they will lose in the midterms if the Democrats can find some spine.

But martial law is coming, folks, prior to the midterms, so there may be no midterms.

If you read Project 2025, you could have predicted much of this mess.

Meanwhile, the demented, overgrown toddler keeps breaking things, and no one will stop him. Not even a bunch of billionaires.

Why doesn’t that old fart live out his years in peace. Take the billions and do something good with it because he’s not taking it with him.

So is Elon and he also is anti-tariff.

Because of all the crimes he committed, it was either the White House or prison. There was no intermediate option.
