Ben Shapiro shocked fans this week by calling out President Trump over a $400 payment controversy. The conservative firebrand isn’t afraid to take on his own allies when he sees bad moves. “If Trump’s team thought $400 was smart, they need to take a hard look in the mirror,” Shapiro fumed on social media. Standards matter – even for fighter presidents like Trump.
Shapiro’s been dueling with leftwing TikTokers lately, roast-grilling their election meltdowns. “They’re out here crying while still clutching their participation trophies,” he laughed, sharing clips of shrieking activists. These keyboard warriors can’t handle reality when their flip decides whom.
Watchdogs like California’s Gavin Newsom are back at their old tricks. Newsom sued to stop Trump’s tariffs, claiming the president overstepped. Wrong move, Governor. America needs real action against China’s trade cheats – not your woke tantrums. Patriots know unfair trade costs jobs and dignity.
Shapiro’s been big on Trump’s tariff plans, linking them to Project 2025’s lean government agenda. “This isn’t about economics – it’s about sovereignty,” he argues. Blocking China’s theft of American innovation is the only way forward, he says. Weak leaders let competitors walk all over us.
Newsom’s lawsuit argues Trump’s tariffs break the IEEPA law. But the president’s team quotes Supreme Court rulings saying big economy moves need clear Congressional approval. So what’s stopping unelected judges from nixing any action? Case in point: the Court spiked Biden’s student loan giveaway using the same “major questions doctrine.”
This all ties back to the left’s favorite game – changing rules when they lose. They beg for unquestioning loyalty, then sue when cons catching their hand in the cookie jar. Remember how Obama junked the Immigration Act with memos? Same playbook.
Shapiro still backs Trump long-term but expects better. “I’ll support him when he’s right, call him out when he’s wrong,” he insists. This isn’t primary betrayal – it’s refusal to pretend mistakes are genius like the Never Trump crowd.
The battle lines are clear. Conservatives standing for fair trade, legal boundaries, and leaders who lead. The rest are crying in their participation trophies. Who’s coming for whom? Real Americans stand ready – gloves off, eyes open. Let them come.
