Financial expert and talk-show host Dave Ramsey endorses Trump for president

Finance expert Dave Ramsey announced this week to listeners of his eponymous syndicated program “The Ramsey Show” that he is voting for former President Donald Trump in next month’s presidential election. It is the first time that Ramsey has publicly endorsed a presidential candidate. 

“I’m gonna tell ya, I’m voting for Donald Trump,” Ramsey said on his show this week. 

“I’m looking at ideas, and which ideas land on which side of the aisle — where am I most likely gonna get a tax policy I like; an immigration policy I like; a foreign policy I like; where am I most likely to get a gun policy I like; a climate change policy I like; a ‘woke’ policy I like, that I agree with?” he stated. “I can check those boxes very clearly, very quickly on these two candidates,” according to The Daily Wire. 

“Some of you are never gonna listen to me again after this — that’s okay,” Ramsey said. “I can deal with that. That’s happened to me for 30 years. People have threatened me with, ‘I’m going to cancel you.’ That’s hard to do. I own the show.”

“You’re not gonna get to cancel me,” he emphasized. “You can leave, but you can’t cancel me.”   

Ramsey’s weekday show claims to reach an estimated 18 million combined listeners and viewers weekly on its various platforms, where he offers financial advice to everyday Americans, according to the New York Post.   

The 64-year-old radio host has described himself as a Christian and as fiscally conservative.  

After inviting both Trump and Kamala Harris onto his show, only Trump accepted and he sat for a wide-ranging interview earlier this month.  

Ramsey has an estimated net worth of somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 million to $200 million, according to the Post.
