Oh now they're beginning to realize hes a moron at the wheel? No longer the Trump playing 4D meme chess?

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

They don’t understand that when you have the kind of power he has “trolling” is terrorism.

When the fuck has a business/businessman ever given a shit about your interests?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

A businessman who has bankrupted casinos and had to be bailed out by his rich family and screwing over his creditors on several occasions.

He's a businessman with no business man, he doesn't even have a business plan.

Trump is going to bankrupt America like his past businesses and the guide rails are being complicit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

He’s a businessman who bankrupted multiple casinos. What the hell did they expect?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

My favorite part of this is "Real people are suffering..." Oh no! Real people, you say? I better take that seriously, unlike all those fake people whose suffering is both imaginary, and completely justified. Who the hell cares about any of them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate everything about this. This "passive income" shit is total BS. Fuck investors, landlords, and anyone absent from their own business. You're scum leeching off the backs of hardworking people!

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Exactly. And part of that infrastructure is the same person filing the paperwork, making sure it’s done right.

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

He is acting like a business man: fucking over everyone else for his own interest.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Guess they missed the part where President Elon said economic pain was inevitable and necessary

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Here's my thinking: we forgive these people if they agree to stand at the frontlines and endure the impacts of the first tear gas canisters/rubber bullets. Then it feels more fair and we can work together again maybe.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

See also: ‘Conservation’

Because even natural preservation has to have a conservative version.

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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He's a trump voter.

All you need to know.

Unless that’s the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt then I agree

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Teddy Roosevelt would be called a commie by many of today's top Democrats, let alone the MAGA Republicans.

He literally tried to start a progressive third party.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"business" man. He is in the business of crime & destruction. Everything he touches, dies. He is killing it right now.

I can't believe a businessman who ran a casino into bankruptcy isn't good at business!

I heard an interesting theory that the stupid tariffs on Canada are intended to destroy their economy and force them to surrender their sovereignty to the US. He doesn't care if his threats trigger nationalist backlash because he thinks Canada is so dependent on the US that they can't resist.

I'm not sure he actually has a plan, but if there is a plan I could see it as a play for conquest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

That would be absolutely mentally deranged reasoning but given other shit hes done, like cancelling the CHIPS act, i would not at all be suprised if this was how he thought/planned

This seems like a bit of the Gru meme where you add "tank the US economy" as the last slide.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 148 points 1 month ago (3 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.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.
