Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman: Appreciates Trump's decision, this is not "kissing the president's ass."

ChainCatcher message, hedge fund mogul Bill Ackman stated on social media: "I am the first, and certainly one of the most vocal, to express concerns about tariffs. I also believe in giving credit where credit is due. Trump's strategy has ultimately yielded very favorable results. I focus on the outcomes, not on 'how the sausage is made.' The unfortunate state of American politics is that those who 'never support Trump' want him to fail, regardless of the impact on the country. I want Trump and our country to succeed, which means I support his initiatives unless I believe that path is wrong, and if so, I would not hesitate to share a different perspective or strategy.

I highly commend Trump for adopting the economically rational advice proposed by Bessenet, rather than the ideological views from within his administration. Trump is often criticized for not listening to others, but in this case, he clearly did, which bodes well for the next four years. If you accuse me of being a sycophant for congratulating him on his success, it only shows that you are trying to discredit those who support our president. Praising our president for achieving outcomes beneficial to America is not flattery."
