MAGA Meltdown: Dave Portnoy, Ben Shapiro & The Great Crashing Out

When the grift stops grifting and the money starts melting, even the loudest get real quiet... or sweaty.

The MAGA influencer class is cracking—and not because of ideology, morals, or a sudden burst of conscience. No, it’s the one thing that truly tests loyalty in America: losing money.

Exhibit A: Dave Portnoy.

The man who once rode a pizza review empire into MAGA meme king status is now online looking like he just got hit with a surprise IRS audit.

Sweaty, red-faced, ranting—because he’s down $7 million.

Not when Barstool was laying people off.

Not when the economy was gutting average folks.

Nope. The rage only bubbled up when his portfolio caught fire.

Exhibit B: Ben Shapiro.

The guy who normally defends Trump like it’s his full-time job suddenly called Trump’s behavior... wait for it...

“Unconstitutional.”

Ben. Shapiro. Said. That.

Turns out when the market dips and the dollars vanish, conservatives suddenly discover the Constitution again.

People thought Trump’s economic chaos would only nuke the working class. But guess what?

Millionaires can bleed too.

Turns out grifting doesn’t guarantee gains when the whole market starts tanking.

And now they’re finding out that inflation doesn’t care how many podcast subscribers you have.

Portnoy and Shapiro—once kings of the culture war—are now learning the economy doesn’t care about culture.

They gambled on chaos.

Now chaos is collecting.

“Fk around and find out” wasn’t just a meme.

It’s the new MAGA investment strategy.
