Hedge fund Bill Ackerman: Appreciating Trump's decision is not "kissing the president's ass"

Hedge fund boss Bill Ackerman said on social media platforms: "I was one of the first and certainly one of the strongest to raise concerns about tariffs. I also believe in giving credit when it's time to give it. Trump's strategy ended up with very favorable results. I focused on the results, not" how the sausage was made ". The unfortunate state of American politics is that the" never for Trump "people want Trump to fail, no matter what that does to the country. I want Trump and our country to succeed, which means I support his initiative unless I think the path is wrong, and if so, I will never be shy about sharing a different perspective or strategy. I highly agree that Mr. Trump has adopted Mr. Bessant's economically rational advice rather than the ideological views within his administration. Mr. Trump is often accused of not listening, but in this case he clearly did, and that bodes well for the next four years. If you accuse me of flattering because I congratulated him on his success, you are only trying to discredit those who supported our president. It is not flattering to praise our president for achieving results that are good for America. " (Kim Ten)
