People are questioning Trump's plan for tariffs.

Some people who supported Trump before are now unsure about his decisions on trade. These decisions, called tariffs, are like taxes on things brought in from other countries.

These people think the tariffs might hurt the economy and are not a good plan. They include people like Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports and even Elon Musk.

Portnoy says he's lost a lot of money because of how the stock market reacted to the tariffs. But he still trusts Trump to make the right choices in the end.

Another person, Bill Ackman, thinks the tariffs could be very bad for the economy. He compared the situation to a 'nuclear winter,' which is a time of great hardship.

Elon Musk, who runs Tesla, also doesn't like the tariffs because they will make his cars more expensive. He got into an argument with one of Trump's advisors about it.
