Ben Shapiro, Dave Portnoy, Joe Rogan, Bill Ackman & Elon Musk views on tariffs

166 points

When someone as fucking stupid as Rogan is questioning the idiocy of a policy you know it’s gotta be bad.

Don’t worry, I don’t.

In the early days, when he and his buds just got high, and talked about conspiracy theory bullshit, it was mildly amusing, in a “Let’s get high, bro” kind of way.

I was never a regular listener/watcher, and dropped it completely when he obviously started taking Right Wing money.

This exactly, all that sweet sweet revenue from conservatives flocking to your podcasts, channel,etc suddenly disappears due as a result of supporters more concerned about the tariffs than to the brainrot podcasts

Nah like the other grifters he’s more worried about his supporters turning on him once they have no jobs or can’t afford anything because of the tariffs, hence no money they can grift from them.

I honestly think Rogan is just an idiot. He was also speaking out against Trump’s deportation policy recently.

All these fucking idiots spent at least 4 years scouring the globe to find the world’s best shit sandwich chefs, to source premium, wagyu quality bullshit from the finest international suppliers…

And now they don’t enjoy eating the sandwich.

Gulp it down fuckos, yum yum yum, you wanted this.

I’ll also throw Aiden Ross into this group. Actual sub room temp IQ idiot zoomer streamer, MAGA cultist/propigandist, who rose to fame by quite literally sniffing Andrew Tate’s farts …

(I am not joking, he did a video with Tate where at one point Tate gets up from his chair and leaves the shot, Aiden sneakily gets up and huffs the seat of the chair)

… yeah this dumb fuck had a stream in the last 24 hrs where he said he has taken an 8 figure loss on presumably his stocks and crypto from this Trump crash.

That is at least 10 million dollars, bare minimum.

This… Is the best thing I have read about all of these MAGA goons. Quote of 2025 for me.

That’s capitalism baby. It’s a system for turning anything and everything into a thing with a monetary value - and those who are the best at exploitation rise to the top. Narcissists, psychopaths, those who lack any kind of empathy or desire for a sustainable future.

I can’t say I’ve seen or heard of him doing that, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

I know Aiden showed up with Trump and gave him a CyberTruck with an American Flag style wrap.

Curiously, this was not long after Aiden literally shot the shit out of his own CyberTruck with an AR15 at close range, and was dismayed to find that it was in fact not bullet proof.

I can’t prove it, but it would not surprise me at all if this was the same actual CyberTruck after some repairs and a wrap applied.

They are questioning it now… not before he got elected even though he clearly said he would be this stupid in his campaign.

100% it’s because they are being financially hurt and no other reason. I know for sure that Portnoy has been complaining about losing millions.

Speculative millions. You don’t lose anything if you don’t sell.

But, you can’t use that stock as collateral on loans to fund your lifestyle when that stock is worthless.

So sad.

This exact reasoning to why they are backing out in support because they are financially hurt and it’s a massive blow. Even Ben Shapiro was talking against the tariffs, was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025.

The grifters have to be careful if they are financially tied to Putin though, many of them are. And Putin stands to gain from a weakened USA.

He’s built like a steroided bonobo at 5’6" and speaks really confidently. The insecure males can’t get enough of it.

Well, to be fair, he’s built like a brick shithouse, and he is an actual Tae Kwon Do, and Jujitsu expert. He’s the real deal, in that respect. I’m pretty confident that he could kick the shit out of all of us. But, to his credit, he seems laid back, and chill, and not the violent aggressive type.

He’s just a meathead dudebro of average intelligence, and the gift of gab, that got lucky. Good for him on that.

But, giving truly evil people a platform to spread their poison… not cool. You have more money than you can ever spend, Joe. Stop enabling the poisoning of young minds.

His Stoner Zen Badass persona is why teenage boys, and adults with the minds of teenage boys love him.

Agree, he feasts on insecure men. He also doesn’t really care about truth, which bothers me. So he’s a charlatan who profits on the gullible. Not a big leap.

He let Trump say to Rogan’s face that Trump never said “Lock her up”. Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.
