In the video, FaZe Lacy is seen explaining why he supported Donald Trump, claiming that he "wanted to make more money." The 22-year-old then expressed his dissatisfaction about having to pay 57% more for a product he ordered, adding that he "does not know" how tariffs work.

Here is what FaZe Lacy said:

"'This is what you supported, you said you wanted Trump.' Listen, bro, the reason I wanted Trump was because I wanted to make more money! All right? That's why! I'mma say it, at least I'm honest, I don't give a f**k if you say I'm lying. I don't give a f**k who's the President. I want to make more money! I'm a greedy b**ch! Okay? At least, I'm saying it. I've been saying it from day one. Now tell me why I ordered an $8,000 car exhaust, and then a week after I order it, I get a call, 'You got to pay a 57% tariff on it.' What?! I've got to pay an extra, over $3,000, when I already paid $8,000 on a f**king tariff. I don't even f**king know what a tariff is!"

The Twitch streamer added:

"And for the people that say, 'This is what you voted for,' first of all, I didn't vote. Okay? Let's get that out of the way. I did not vote. I did not go back to Pennsylvania to vote. All right? I said from the beginning that I was not going to vote because I do not have enough information about it. Did I support Trump? Yes, I did, that's because I want to make more money."
