Streamer Lacy has found himself in hot water. After voting for Donald Trump in the presidential election, he now seems to regret his decision.
When your decision doesn't really have the results you hoped for: A clip of popular Twitch streamer Lacy went viral where he explains why he voted for Trump – and how that didn't exactly play out the way he expected.
Supporting Trump For Personal Gain
Not a lot of streamers have come out and actively supported Trump publicly. Still, some of them decided to vote for him during the last presidential elections. One of those streamers was Lacy – but it seems as though he regrets that decision now. In a clip from one of his streams he explains:
"The reason I wanted Trump was because I wanted to make more money. Alright? That's why."
He then quickly follows that by saying he doesn't actually care who the president is. His only objective seemed to have been personal gain. Now, the streamer, however, noticed that that plan didn't exactly work, as he got affected by the tariffs:
"Now tell me why I ordered an $8000 exhaust and then a week after I order it I get a call: You've got to pay a 57% tariff on it. What?"
Naturally, this upset the streamer: His plan to make more money dramatically backfired. While getting upset he even admitted that he doesn't "even know what a tariff is".
Backlash From The Community
While this clip made its rounds on Twitter, people naturally got upset with his statements. He made it clear that he put his own personal gain over other potentially more pressing social issues that came up before and during Trump's current presidency. While allegations around the Epstein Files and ICE raids have divided the country more and more over the last few weeks, from the clip it seems as if the tariffs were the streamer's biggest problem.
What is crazy that he is regretting his vote not because of the...

Nope, because his money being affected https://t.co/gex18JUa8O
Other people are mainly shocked by the lack of knowledge, for example in relation to what tariffs even are in the first place. Another user added:
"These are the people who got us into the worst presidential stretch ever"
Some, however, also state that at the very least Lacy is being honest. While they still seem to disagree with his statement, they can appreciate that he told the truth as to why he decided to vote for Trump. After he explained that he voted for Trump because he wanted more money, Lacy himself even added:
"I'm going to say it, at least I'm honest. [I don't care], at least I'm not sitting here lying! [I don't care] who's the president, I want to make more money!"
