Nic White writes for DailyMail.com about a high-profile supporter of Donald Trump’s White House bid.
Financial commentator Dave Ramsey revealed he will vote for Donald Trump at the election, and doesn’t care if he loses fans over it.
The radio pundit, who has a net worth of $150 million to $200 million, runs the scandal-plagued Ramsey Solutions financial consulting firm.
He explained on his program that he went through Trump and Kamala Harris’ policies on tax, immigration, guns, foreign affairs, and climate change.
‘I’m looking at ideas, and which ideas land on which side of the aisle… I can check those boxes very clearly, very quickly on those two candidates,’ he said.
Ramsey even compared which of the two he could find ‘a woke policy I like, that I agree with’, without explaining what that meant.
‘So I’m gonna tell you I’m voting for Donald Trump – not because I’m voting for Donald Trump, [but] because I check those boxes, and more of those are on that side than on the other side,’ he said.
Ramsey said he wasn’t concerned about reaction from fans of The Ramsey Show, because he had enough listeners and completely control of the program.
‘Some of you are never gonna listen to me again after this. That’s okay. I can deal with that. That has happened to me for 30 years,’ he said.
‘People have threatened me like, “I’m going to cancel you”. That’s hard to do. I own the show and so you’re not gonna get to cancel me.
‘So you can leave, but you can’t cancel me.’
Few listeners are likely to be surprised and switch off, as Ramsey is a longstanding conservative who frequently praises Trump and his policies.
Ramsey earlier this month held a friendly interview with the former president about his economic plans, including inflation and oil drilling.
He followed up the interview with a glowing review of Trump’s policies and economic knowledge on Fox Business.
