\n\tMr. Beast has become one of the first major entertainment figures to speak out about President Trump\u2019s tariff spikes.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe popular YouTube<\/a>r and creator and host of the Amazon hit Beast Game<\/a>s<\/em> criticized<\/a> the president\u2019s \u201cLiberation Day\u201d policies, which experts have said will raise inflation, halt business growth, slow hiring and very likely lead to a recession. The tariffs have also wiped out trillions from the stock market, impacting retirement accounts.<\/p>\n

\n\tReferencing his Feastables chocolate bar business, Mr. Beast told followers on X, \u201cIronically because of all the new tariffs it is now way cheaper to make our chocolate bars we sell globally NOT in America because other countries don\u2019t have a 20%+ tariff on our cogs. [By the way,] we pay our farmers a living income, use fair trade certified beans, etc. So I was already spending a lot on cocoa. A random price hike was pretty brutal [not gonna lie]. We\u2019ll figure it out. I feel for small businesses though. Could really be a nail in the coffin for them.\u201d\u2018 <\/p>\n

\n\tIndeed, small business \u2014 which account for almost\u00a0half\u00a0of all private-sector employment in the U.S., according to CBS News<\/a> \u2014 are considered highly vulnerable to tariff increases because they don\u2019t have the deep cash reserves or flexibility to withstand the sudden changes. <\/p>\n

\n\tMr. Beast, a.k.a. Jimmy Donaldson, has a range of businesses apart from his YouTube empire, which include MrBeast Burger delivery restaurant chain, a packaged food brand called Lunchly, a social media analytics platform called Viewstats and his active philanthropy LLC.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany economists, business leaders and major figures have likewise criticized the tariffs, among them Trump supporters such as Dave Portnoy, billionaire Elon Musk (who has called Trump\u2019s trade adviser Peter Navarro a \u201cmoron\u201d) and hedge fund titan Bill Ackerman (who warned, \u201cWe are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business and as a market to invest capital\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tHollywood, in general<\/a>, hasn\u2019t yet suffered any direct retaliation from countries hit by the tariffs. But with a crushing 104 percent tariff against China set to go into effect at midnight, the world\u2019s second-largest film market might be about to restrict Hollywood films. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> noted earlier Tuesday, two widely followed Chinese public figures \u2014 one an editor for a state media outlet, the other the son of a former party chief \u2014 released identical outlines on Tuesday of countermeasures Chinese authorities are said to be considering in response to Trump\u2019s tariffs that include \u201creducing or banning the import of U.S. films\u201d (as well as increasing tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods and U.S. services, among other countermeasures). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
