BELIEVE IT OR NOT! A Billionaire Talks to Americans Like They're Idiots

«Billionaire investor Bill Ackman walked back his attack on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Monday in a post on social media, after previously arguing the commerce secretary profits if the economy implodes amid ongoing backlash to President Donald Trump's tariffs. (...)

"I am just frustrated watching what I believe to be a major policy error occur after our country and the president have been making huge economic progress that is now at risk due to the tariffs," Ackman continued. (...)

"This is not what we voted for," Ackman said. »

(Fox Business)

«This is not what we voted for"? Is this talk for idiots? How is it possible that Mr. Ackman and many others with him, wash their hands claiming that they were surprised when perhaps Donaldo's only quality is that he shouted out loud much in advance what he was going to do?
