Ross Gerber, the president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management and chess champion, Gary Kasparov, have publicly criticized Bill Ackman for his defense of President Donald Trump‘s trade war strategies.
What Happened: On Thursday, Gerber responded to a post on X by Ackman, in which the latter defended Trump’s trade war tactics. Gerber’s tweet read, “Bill please. Enough excuses. You’re a smart man. This is garbage policy.” This was in direct response to Ackman’s suggestion that appearing “crazy” in negotiations could be a strategic move.
