Dave Portnoy finds out [View all]

@allenanalysis

Back in 2016, Dave Portnoy said it loud:
“I don’t care if he’s a joke. I don’t care if he’s racist. I don’t care if he’s sexist… My day-to-day life isn’t gonna change.”

Flash forward to 2025:
“I’m down $7 million today… Trump has put his tariffs all over the place… I’ve been trying to understand them — I don’t. And everything is in the shitter because of it.”

You cheered on the chaos because it made politicians “squirm.”

Now the chaos squirmed its way into your portfolio — and suddenly, you care.
