The popular youtuber, creator and presenter of Prime Video’s success, Beast Gamescriticized the policies of the US president, who, according to experts, will increase inflation, will stop business growth, slow down hiring and most likely cause a recession.


Referring to his feastable chocolate bars business, Mrbeast told his followers in X: “Ironically, Due to all new tariffs, it is now much cheaper to make the chocolate bars that we sell globally, not in the United Statesbecause other countries do not have a tariff of more than 20% on our products. [Por cierto,] We pay our farmers a decent income, we use grains with fair trade certification, etc. So I already spent a lot in cocoa. An unexpected price increase was quite brutal [no voy a mentir]. We will see it. Although sorry for small businesses. It could be a clove in the coffin for them. “

In fact, small businesses – which represent almost half of all the employment of the private sector in the United States, according to CBS News – are considered very vulnerable to tariff increases because they do not have large cash reserves or flexibility to support sudden changes.

Criticism for Donald Trump tariffs and possible consequences for Hollywood
Many economists, business leaders and important figures have also criticized tariffs, including Trump supporters as Dave Portnoythe billionaire Elon Musk (which has called Trump’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, a “fool”) and the tycoon of the coverage funds Bill Ackerman (which warned: “We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a commercial partner, as a place to do business and as a market to invest capital”).
Hollywood, in general, has not yet suffered direct reprisals by countries affected by tariffs. But with a crushing 104 % tariff against China that will enter into force at midnight, the second largest film market in the world could be about to restrict the Hollywood movies.
