Hedge Fund Bill Ackman: Appreciates the decisions made by Trump, this is not "kissing up to the president"

Hedge fund tycoon Bill Ackman stated on social media: "I was the first, and certainly one of the most vocal, to express concerns about tariffs. I also believe in giving credit where it's due. Trump's strategy has ultimately yielded very favorable results. I'm concerned with outcomes, not 'how the sausage is made.' The unfortunate state of American politics is that those who 'never support Trump' hope for his failure, regardless of its impact on our country. I wish for success for both Trump and our nation, which means supporting his initiatives unless I think they're misguided - if so, I won't hesitate to share a different perspective or strategy. As for Trump adopting economic rationality suggested by Bezos instead of ideological views within his government, I highly commend this move. People often accuse Trump of not listening to others' opinions but he clearly did in this case; it bodes well for the next four years. If you accuse me of brown-nosing because I congratulate him when he succeeds then you are simply trying to smear those who support our president. Praising our president’s achievements that benefit America isn’t sycophancy."
