On again off again supporter of President Trump, conservative icon Ben Shapiro took to Twitter today to lambaste Trump’s tweet highlighting his current policy position on Kim Jong Un and North Korea.

Absolute stupid garbage. Kim’s vision involves murdering his relatives with WMD in public places and creating massive gulags for dissenters while keeping millions in misery.

Conservative Shapiro has at times been very supportive of President Trump, especially when it comes to “owning the libs“, and certain things like SCOTUS picks, but he has also been very critical at times of the president as well, and was not one of his earlier supporters. Shapiro’s tweet garnered much backlash from die-hard Trump supporters, a few examples of which can be seen below.

The president doesn’t really believe. He is saying this to get the deal done. Let him get the deal done. First. Pls.

Ben, Trump has actually spoken with Kim. Have you? ?

Ben have you ever thought that maybe Trump tweets these things knowing NK will be reading them? The goal is to help the NK people, even if it means not treating Kim how he should be treated.

BEN…jeez, read between the lines.

Ben…usually a huge fan but how many times have you talked with Chairman Kim about his vision and future plans?

@benshapiro is a warmonger.

Some tweets in the thread on Shapiro’s own Twitter feed can indeed be found supporting Ben’s view, but they are few and far between. Tweets like the ones above and many more can be found on the thread of his tweet for those who are curious to scroll and see, or perhaps tweet back their own thoughts.

In many cases, Shapiro has been a great ally in supporting President Trump and his America First agenda, but instances like this, and others such as when he criticizes Trump on his largely successful trade policies, it seems Ben is only shooting himself in the proverbial foot.
