Do you think if he kneels down and kisses trump feet he would be okay? I’m so worried damn…
"He's a businessman".
No, he's a nepo baby hustler who thinks winning is the only thing that matters, and winning is when you rip off and take advantage of people.
No he's a businessman just not a good one and by good I simply mean minimally competent, I won't get into the morality although... Woof.
minimally competent
I think bankrupting a casino disqualifies him from even that.
I guess the house doesn't always win.
He's a BAD business man, how do you retards not know this. And it's a country not a business, it was never meant to be run like a business...
Jesus Christ I hate these people
Additionally, he was always a bad businessman
"BUSINESSMAN GOOD"
If these people existed in the past, before modern society broke the process of natural selection, they'd have perished long ago.
He's a TV businessman as in he's as much a business man as any actor. Conservatives seem to repeatedly make the mistake that actors actually do the things for real
I wish I had saved it. On r/conservative they posted a meme where libs said they told you this would happen and they say they don't care because they wanted it to happen. That would love lovely next to this.
I'm an investor in predominately european companies. My investments have risen 20%... so far
Mine haven't. I pulled my money out a month ago when I saw that the new Trump presidency wasn't going to be like the first one.
I can't decide what the right move right now to do is. I lost months of growth in a couple weeks. The market has always come back before, but the orange shitstain is pretty uniquely awful, and showing us how he cares jackshit about nuking the economy.
Oh it will definitely bounce back up eventually. No idea when this will happen though.
I tend to think a lot of this damage is permanent. That doesn't mean you're wrong, but it might mean our growth is stunted forever or for many years. Screwing over allies like this, and a public who would re-elect him? Why would they trust us as a trade partner if they can avoid it?
MUH INVESTMENTS
What I love is how many of them talk about, "he's just trolling," and it's like, even if he was, is that seriously what you want in a president? Now it's, "even if he is just trolling, this is a bad idea," as if there's ever a time that the fucking president treating international relations like a shitpost would be a good idea. These people are so, so stupid.
I am guessing a lot of them will blame this on Biden, citing the normal truth that presidents usually don't make immediately apparent noticeable impacts on the economy. It normally takes months or years for most policy to make a big difference. In this case, the tariffs are so stupid on their face that no honest person could deny they would have drastic effects. Compare stock market graphs to the timeline of trump announcements... but they will deny it and pretend this is business as usual, and because it's only a month in, it's obviously Biden. Nevermind that they would never normally believe that shit if it's inconvenient to their case.
They don’t understand that when you have the kind of power he has “trolling” is terrorism.
You needn't look further than 'Conservative Environmentalist'. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.
I've known a few of those. "Environmentalism" to them only goes as far as making sure they have some fields around them stocked with deer and pheasant to hunt, and maybe a lake they can tool around in their bass boat.
Like is he just ignoring the “Drill baby drill” shit? Or the fact that in his first term Trump reduced the size of national parks for the sake of oil operations?
He's a trump voter.
All you need to know.
Fuck these idiots. Reaping what they sowed.
Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do and the obvious outcome happens, but they still don't see through his bullshit not matter how many times it bites them in the ass.
Well, except the things that would have been nice. Like bringing down prices, ending wars, not being a little bitch in the white house.
Even past that, the market has been on a historic bull run. The NASDAQ is up around 150% over five years. Unprecedented gains, even with the COVID dip.
What kind of whiny bullshit is this about a 15% decline? You're holding equity with a 100+ p/e. You took a bunch of leveraged risk and came out ahead, but you're still not happy because... you're not a trillionaire like Daddy Musk yet? Take your fucking profits and back away from the roulette wheel, you degenerates.
Right? Fuck around and find out. Damn them all for setting us on this path of this hellscape they set us all upon. If you're MAGA or didn't vote at all I don't have the sympathy or empathy left to give a shit what happens. The leopards are going to eat so many faces the next four years they're going to die of obesity.
May they lose every dime. May they only know the taste of day old bread and stagnant water for the rest of time. May they shiver in the night and boil in the day. May the rain soak them to the bone, and may the snow freeze their skin. No love, no shelter, no aid.
Oh now they're beginning to realize hes a moron at the wheel? No longer the Trump playing 4D meme chess?
Hahahahah it never gets old
"HeS a BiSnNeSSmaN"
When the fuck has a business/businessman ever given a shit about your interests?
Hiring business men to run the government is like hiring a fancy mouse breeder to do surgery on your seeing eye dog.
A businessman who has bankrupted casinos and had to be bailed out by his rich family and screwing over his creditors on several occasions.
Well well well. Is he "hurting the wrong people" again? who would've thunk
He's not even hurting them. They're still up for the year. They're historically up for the last ten years, in the face of enormous economic headwinds.
Trump stepped in, the market surged, and now its floated back down to December 2024 baseline.
And these losers are screaming like stick pigs because Big Line doesn't always go up forever.
Talked to my MAGA blood again yesterday. Apparently, the conservative talk radio is telling listeners Europe and Canada have had tariffs on us from day one and trump is just trying to level the playing field. America is always paying for them and now it’s their turn to pay.
In addition, firings are “political reward” jobs being removed, because that’s not fair. (Injustice and not fair resonates with everyone.) And a caller apparently called in to talk about his government employee buddy upset that his job credit card he normally uses to buy lunch was cut off, discovered when he tried to buy subway. Again with the “not fair” because most jobs don’t buy you lunch.
They still haven’t told me what show they heard this is on, because I invariably listen and pick it apart and they find my “over-analysis” upsetting.
I mentioned this to a relative that a federal job has lost all security compared to a equivalent private sector position. They said "well no job ever has security". Private sectors only goal is make money for the boss - the other provides essential public services and maintains infrastructure. They are not the same
I keep seeing this sentiment expressed over and over again and it seems that a large cross-section of the public still doesn't get it. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, of all places, but it bears repeating:
Trump is not a "businessman." Trump is a con man.
He has never actually run a successful business and he doesn't know how. The only thing he does know how to do is run a grift to bilk investors, creditors, the government, HUD, etc. out of money for projects that he really has no intention of completing or to prop up businesses he has no intention of sustaining. He is incessantly robbing Peter to pay Paul just long enough in the hopes of keeping his creditors or the prosecution at bay -- not always successfully, I might add, because his businesses have been bankrupted four times including the infamous three casinos.
The issue now is that since he's oozed his way into government he is shielded from having the hammer brought down on him by many of the people he's cheated.
Yeah, we told you dumb pieces of shit that chaos was bad since 2015. None of you cared.
"business" man. He is in the business of crime & destruction. Everything he touches, dies. He is killing it right now.
He is acting like a business man: fucking over everyone else for his own interest.
Just wait tell they find out he does not give a shit about them.
