The current state of your 401k is struggling. Meanwhile, billionaires are engaged in a battle. Gamers are also facing challenges. Even the penguins on McDonald Island, which has no human inhabitants, are not immune to the effects.

However, 26-year-old YouTuber and chocolatier MrBeast has finally shared his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s plan to impose widespread tariffs on imports.

In all seriousness, the prolific YouTuber MrBeast is likely the most influential public figure among American children — whether you like it or not, it’s a fact.

In a recent X post, MrBeast pointed out that for companies like his chocolate business Feastables, Trump’s tariffs do not actually encourage businesses to move their manufacturing to the United States.

“Ironically, due to the new tariffs, it’s now significantly cheaper to produce our chocolate bars, which we sell globally, outside of America, because other countries don’t have a 20%+ tariff on our ingredients,” the YouTuber wrote.

Currently, Feastables is manufactured in both Peru and the U.S., but it sources its cocoa internationally and claims to pay farmers a living wage. (As an aside, Feastables’ “ethical sourcing” section on its website is followed by another menu option titled “worldwide domination,” which essentially encapsulates MrBeast’s entire approach.)

If Feastables imports its ingredients into the U.S., manufactures the chocolate bars domestically, and then exports them for sale abroad, the company incurs significant losses due to tariffs. According to MrBeast, it would be more cost-effective for his company to manufacture chocolate bars intended for overseas sales in its Peru factory to avoid tariffs.

In essence, MrBeast believes that the president’s tariff plan is shortsighted.

As any MrBeast fan in a middle school history class could probably explain, countries have engaged in trade for thousands of years because different crops grow in different regions. This means that certain American companies, like Feastables, have no choice but to source products like cocoa from other countries.

“Also, we pay our farmers a living income, use fair trade certified beans, etc., so I was already spending a lot on cocoa. A sudden price hike was pretty brutal, to be honest,” MrBeast continued. “We’ll find a way to make it work. However, I feel for small businesses, as this could be the final blow for them.”
