Hedge fund Bill Ackman: I appreciate Trump's decision, it's not "fawning on the president"

hedge fund tycoon Bill Ackman said on social media platforms: "I am the first, and of course one of the most vocal, to express concerns about tariffs. I also believe in giving praise when it is due. Trump's strategy ultimately produced very favorable results. What I focus on is the outcome, not how the sausage is made. The unfortunate reality of American politics is that those who 'never support Trump' hope for his failure, regardless of the impact on the country. I want Trump and our country to succeed, which means I support his initiatives unless I believe the path is wrong, in which case I will not hesitate to share a different view or strategy. I highly commend Trump for adopting economic rational suggestions from Bessemer rather than ideological views within his government. Some often accuse Trump of not listening to others, but in this matter, he clearly did, which bodes well for the next four years. If you criticize me for congratulating him on his success, accusing me of flattery, it only shows that you are trying to discredit those who support our president. Praising our president for achieving beneficial results for America is not flattery." (Golden Ten)
