‘Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison Praises President Trump As ‘Best President’ At White House Small Business Event
Rick Harrison praised President Donald Trump during a White House event focused on small businesses, calling him “maybe the best president ever” and crediting his policies with helping entrepreneurs across the country.
Harrison, best known for the TV show “Pawn Stars” and owner of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, was invited to speak during the event and offered enthusiastic support for Trump’s economic record. He highlighted tax policies he said benefited small business owners, including expanded depreciation rules.
“I’m a history buff,” Harrison said before praising Trump’s leadership. “Literally, he’s going to go down as maybe the best president ever. I love this guy.”
During his remarks, Harrison contrasted Trump’s approach with that of former President Joe Biden, arguing that small business owners were treated unfairly under the previous administration. He pointed specifically to tax burdens and regulatory pressure as major concerns.
Harrison also referenced recent legislation, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and said provisions like full depreciation had a direct and meaningful impact on his business operations.
President Trump, speaking after Harrison, emphasized his administration’s focus on reducing regulations, lowering taxes, and supporting domestic business growth. He also pointed to his own background in business as a factor shaping his policies.
Trump touched on a range of topics, from economic growth to infrastructure decisions, even referencing cost-saving changes to projects like the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation. He also joked about potentially benefiting from current tax policies after leaving office.
The event included displays from small businesses and entrepreneurs, with Trump highlighting what he described as strong employment numbers and economic momentum.
“More people are working in the United States right now than ever before,” Trump said, arguing that his policies have contributed to a stronger economy and more opportunities for American workers.
The appearance underscores continued support for Trump among business figures, particularly those who credit his tax and regulatory agenda with boosting growth and investment.
