We asked them why. After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake. …. Bill Ackman, the Wall Street billionaire, is perhaps the most prominent name to express remorse over Trump last week. A former Democrat, he turned on the party as a result of the campus tumult during the Gaza war. In October, he penned a list of 33 reasons to vote Trump that was heavy on cultural grievances like the Democrats’ promotion of gender fluidity and support for Black Lives Matter protests. Alex Berenson, who has suggested Trump should be impeached over the tariffs, owes his celebrity to a hard-right tack on the Covid-19 culture wars. Berenson’s downplaying of the pandemic and anti-vax fearmongering — which earned him the moniker of him “the pandemic’s wrongest man” — allowed him to build a lucrative 240,000 subscriber following on Substack as of this writing.
