He’s a business man who’s been bankrupt 6 times lmaoooo, gullible clowns

[–] Osnapitsjoey@lemmy.one 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The bankruptcy claim comes up a lot. I hate Trump as much as anyone who can form opinions that don't come from a radio talk show, but I'd be willing to he's the bankruptcies were by design. He probably did what the toys r us CEO and 50 cent did, where they funnel money out of a company, and the company goes under.

That being said. He's still a fucking piece of shit who's making the founding fathers roll in their graves

It's the generous interpretation where Trump abused the bankruptcy system for his own benefit, and I definitely agree.

Still wouldn't want a country run that way, the people are the consumers about to be conned or the investors about to be fleeced.

I saw the "and there's no filing for bankruptcy on this one" at the end and all I could think is that even if you thought running a country like a business was a good idea (it's not) why would you pick a businessman who's filed for bankruptcy quite a lot to be the one to do so? I feel like he needs to ask himself that.

I'm an investor in predominately european companies. My investments have risen 20%... so far

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

EutelSat is where the investments are at. And the EU's MIC. Good time to be European.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Luckily i was already fairly heavy in to the british MIC when it all kicked off

I've held Rolls Royce since it was £1.09p

Fuck these idiots. Reaping what they sowed.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.

Maybe, just fucking maybe, the government isnt a business and you should stop thinking the proven vampires of the world will somehow be good for us cattle.

Things that make about as much sense as "Conservative Environmentalist":

  • Anarcho Bidenism
  • People that enjoy fruitcake
  • Jumbo shrimp
  • For Profit Social Services
  • Anarcho Capitalism
  • People referring to a lion being the ‘king of the jungle’ without realising lions don’t live in jungles.

Conservatives are for the most part still deluded into thinking that his goal is to "balance the trade deficit."

It's horseshit. That's not his goal, it's his pretense; the idiot reason he gives his idiot followers so that they don't see him for the Russian asset he is.

Those aren't TRUE CONSERVATIVES and will be banned shortly.

Only TRUE CONSERVATIVES who love licking that orange man's knob are allowed to comment in r/conservatives. Loyalty oaths will be presented shortly.

You needn't look further than 'Conservative Environmentalist'. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.

There's no point trying to make rational arguments against something that's fundamentally irrational. Trump's tariffs are just more Rambo posturing for his diehard MAGA legions, who don't even understand that they're the ones paying the tariffs.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, just thought of Canada being part of the US is just mind fucking blowing. People here besides the military have no clue what war fucking is. That alone is bonkers. Anything besides that is just as mind blowing. Not even a fucking conversation or thought to have. Canada is Canada and I’m glad to be their neighbor. Anyone want to grab a puppers?

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I think the absurdity is the point. Putin wants America isolated, so he's having trump threaten our closest allies.

[–] polycrome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He is doing something...for the insider traders. Where the OP lost 15% the insiders dumped off ahead of the storm and will buy the dip.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

It's a page out of Putin's book make memes about the thing until it's normalised

[–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The guy that has had way more business failures than successes (and even that's questionable if you control for fraudulent reporting) doesn't understand how economics works? The hell you say...

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well well well. Is he "hurting the wrong people" again? who would've thunk

This person is rich enough to own stocks. It's good that they're feeling some negative effects of what they voted for, but calling a 15 % dip in their portfolio "suffering" is kind of devaluing the actual human suffering that Trump's policies are causing.

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yea but they're never going to find that empathy so at least there's this

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Millionaire is a pretty low bar these days, a salary worker reaching retirement age probably has a million dollar net worth.
