  "account": "Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has criticized President Trump's tariffs on US allies as a \"disaster\" and predicts they will negatively impact Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Griffin argues that these disputes have led to inflation and damaged supply chains globally. He believes that Republicans could lose at least one chamber of Congress in the midterms, citing inflation, fuel affordability, and the housing market as challenges for the party. Griffin also criticized the administration's handling of the Iran war and called for a more amicable approach to immigration, stating that immigrants already in the US who are gainfully employed should have a path to citizenship to help grow the economy.",
