Tech YouTuber Zack "JerryRigEverything" has made a seemingly sarcastic post about Donald Trump's government's recent tariff update. For those wondering, POTUS has announced a 25% tariff on all Colombian goods entering the country. He has also issued travel bans and visa restrictions to certain Colombian officials.
The YouTube and streaming community has kept close tabs on the US political landscape. In the past, JeryRigEverything has been quite vocal regarding Trump's presidential campaigns. Seeing the new tariff update, he wrote:
"I, for one, welcome the tariffs. Hitting his own people in the wallet is the quickest way to lose the midterms in a landslide."
Trending
The post ended up garnering several comments from netizens. It's fair to say that Trump is a divisive figure within the online community. The YouTuber's post featured quite a bit of mixed reactions, with some people justifying the decision, while others voicing criticism. Here are some of the comments in the thread:
"You really don't know how it works do you? Tariffs only hurt our pocket if the company/country being taxed has a monopoly. If not, people just buy from another company, that's it," said @Nerad_Mer
"He's always been political especially against Trump, it's not new," said @OcDmn
"Zack is a legend for staying on Twitter and continuing to speak his mind on a platform that’s no longer accepting of such ideas," said @daniel_rollins
"I swear if coffee prices get any higher," said @nft_with_an_e
"But hey, at least TikTok is still up!" said @vaguar
Not the first time JerryRigEverything has been critical of Team Trump
JerryRigEverything has been outspoken about Donald Trump's presidency, often expressing criticism of Trump's administration in the past. Recently, he also called out Elon Musk for a controversial hand gesture that went viral last week.
For those unaware, Elon Musk faced accusations of making a pro-Nazi salute during Trump's inaugural celebration, allegations he has since denied. JerryRigEverything was notably critical of the incident, stating that he planned to get rid of his Teslas in response:
"I currently own 4 different @Tesla vehicles. By the end of 2025, I will own zero @Tesla vehicles."
Political content creators have multiplied in recent years. Even previously known gamers, "Just Chatting" streamers like Adin Ross, and YouTubers like Logan Paul have become increasingly engaged with the current political climate.
