    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.
