Ah, the sweet smell of chocolate! Or is it just the fumes from the political hot mess we’ve got going on? YouTube sensation MrBeast has weighed in on the new Trump tariffs, and spoiler alert: he’s not popping confetti over it.
With the new tariffs on imports hitting like a surprise viral TikTok dance, MrBeast has taken to X (formerly known as Twitter, because, of course) to share his thoughts. His chocolate bar empire is getting slapped with some serious taxes, making it way cheaper to produce overseas. He put it bluntly: *”A random price hike was pretty brutal ngl.”* I mean, who doesn’t love sudden price increases, right?
In his follow-up, he expressed solidarity with small businesses, calling this situation a potential *”nail in the coffin”* for them. And honestly, can we take a moment to appreciate the emotional rollercoaster of being a content creator while trying to navigate a trade war?
So, as we navigate this chocolate catastrophe (thanks a lot, tariffs), MrBeast reminds us that not everyone can just throw money at the problem. Small businesses are feeling the squeeze, and who knows how this will all shake out? Will chocolate bars become a luxury item? Will we be forced to barter with our neighbor’s cat just to satisfy our sweet tooth? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: politics and chocolate don’t mix!
Now, dear reader, what do you think? Is MrBeast right to worry about this, or is the fuss just a sugar rush?
