Finance guru Dave Ramsey ‘doesn’t care if you never listen to me again’ because he’s voting for Donald Trump
Financial commentator Dave Ramsey revealed that he will vote for Donald Trump in the election, and he doesn’t care if he loses fans as a result.
The radio expert, who has a net worth of $150 million to $200 million, runs the scandal-plagued financial consulting firm Ramsey Solutions.
He explained on his program that he was reviewing Trump and Kamala Harris’ policies on taxes, immigration, guns, foreign affairs and climate change.
“I look at ideas, and which ideas end up on which side of the aisle… I can check those boxes very clearly and very quickly for those two candidates,” he said.
Ramsey even compared which of the two he could find “a woke policy that I like, that I agree with,” without explaining what that meant.

“So I’m going to tell you that I’m voting for Donald Trump – not because I’m voting for Donald Trump, [but] because I check those boxes, and there are more on that side than the other side,” he said.
Ramsey said he wasn’t worried about the backlash from fans of The Ramsey Show because he had enough listeners and complete control over the program.
“Some of you will never listen to me again after this. That’s okay. I can deal with that. That’s been happening to me for 30 years,” he said.
“People have threatened me, ‘I’m going to cancel you.’ That’s hard to do. I own the show so you can’t cancel me.
“So you can leave, but you can’t cancel me.”
Few listeners are likely to be surprised and tune out, as Ramsey is a long-standing conservative who regularly praises Trump and his policies.
Ramsey conducted a friendly interview with the former president earlier this month about his economic plans, including inflation and oil drilling.
He continued the interview with a glowing overview of Trump’s policies and economic knowledge on Fox Business.

However, in the past he stated ‘neither’ [Trump and Harris] are fiscally responsible people’.
Ramsey describes himself as conservative “both fiscally and culturally” and believes that presidents should do “as little as possible” with the economy.
His company was sued several times for firing and harassing staff who strayed from Christian conservative moral codes.
Former employee Caitlin O’Connor filed a federal lawsuit in July 2020, claiming she was fired for becoming pregnant through a man she was not married to, in violation of Ramsey Solutions’ employee conduct policy.
The company admitted that was why she was fired and said it has fired at least eight other employees since 2015 for premarital sex.
Five of those fired were men, which is why the company claimed that O’Connor was not discriminated against in any way because she was a woman.
Sex outside of marriage is a violation of the company’s “core values” as stated in the employee handbook.
Ramsey said he wasn’t worried about the backlash from fans of The Ramsey Show because he had enough listeners and had complete control over the program.
“If any team member engages in behavior inconsistent with traditional Judeo-Christian values or teachings, it would damage the image and value of our goodwill and brand,” the team warned.
“If this were to occur, the team member would be subject to review, probation or dismissal.”
Julie Anne Stamps claimed in September 2021 that when she told her supervisor she was a lesbian, she was told company policy meant she could no longer work there, and she was eventually forced to leave.
Ramsey Solutions denied the allegations.
The company was also accused of repeated violations of Covid laws, including a federal lawsuit by an employee who claimed his religious rights had been violated.
A catering company filed a health complaint claiming its staff working at Ramsey’s 2020 Christmas party were not allowed to wear gloves or masks.
Earlier in the pandemic, it was accused of flouting rules against hosting large gatherings, including hosting a conference after the Marriott canceled it and keeping its Nashville headquarters open after staff tested positive.

Former employee Brad Amos sued the company in December 2021, claiming he was fired for following Covid precautions.
His lawsuit claimed his religious rights were violated because he followed the ‘Golden Rule’ set out by Jesus to ‘do as others do whatever you would have them do to you’ in protecting people from Covid.
Amos likened Ramsey Solutions, like other ex-staff, to a cult, claiming employees were accused of “weakness of mind” for worrying about the pandemic and told to just pray to ward it off.
The company denied the claims and the lawsuit was dismissed by a district judge, but an appeals court overturned that ruling in August, allowing the case to proceed.
Ramsey himself is said to have conducted a witch hunt against former employees who discussed his company’s working conditions online.
He is said to have infiltrated a private Facebook group and offered cash bounties on the identities of those behind anonymous Twitter accounts that the ex-staff had set up when they realized he was in the Facebook group.
Ramsey also allegedly “pulled a gun out of a bag to try to teach a lesson about gossip.”
