he is a business man

No he isn't. Everything she's ever touched turned to utter shit and went bankrupt. He bankrupted a casino. Like, how even do you do that? That's not incompetence, that requires a very specific skill set to do

He's not, he's a deranged rich kid who got old.

You very well and most likely all of us are missing the Y as to why Donald Trump has done the things he’s done and managed to always fall upwards.

I say that because if he’s so bad, he wouldn’t be continuously hired upwards. He’s now the most powerful position in the world so keep it in mind. He didn’t get there because every large business and its founders and CEOs are so much more dumber than the rest of us that they didn’t know what they were doing.

Some CEOs are hired as a hatchet CEO to destroy companies on purpose. To dismantle them from the inside. You guys need to start thinking that all of this is on purpose and is malicious and that they’re smarter than you. The art of war: do not underestimate your enemy.

Not underestimating either cheeto nor Elmo by stating the simple truth that both are fucking idiots born into wealth, and -amongst other things- being extremely lucky

I've been yelling for nearly a decade now that Elmo is an incompetent but also evil motherfucker, glad that people are catching on.

Just watch interviews with either from decade(s) ago, just hear them stumble about anything that has to do with what they do, they don't know or understand shit. Elmo calls himself the world's best engineer yet he doesn't have a clue what an engineer even does

This is a prime example of survivorship bias. It's the equivalent of an idiot winning the lottery, continuing to buy tickets, winning the lottery again, and having people say "look how much money he has, he must be some financial genius!"

Not just one. He managed to bankrupt 3 or 4 casinos on the Jersey Shore in Atlantic City in the late 80s and early 90s.

That's like burning down a mint 4 times.
