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

[–] Osnapitsjoey@lemmy.one 9 points 4 days 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

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days 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.

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.

"we need someone to run the government like a business" "lets pick this guy with 40 bankruptcies" my guy even if the premise wasn't idiotic what did you think would happen

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 43 points 5 days 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.

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 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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

Notice how even when potentially becoming self aware they still say it’s having a negative effect on “conservative Canadians” as if they’re the only demographic that would be pissed about a hostile foreign power threatening to take their sovereignty.

“Filing for bankruptcy” was his entire strategy as a business man, though.

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.

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

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.

[–] polycrome@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days 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.

Even if Biden had been as "out to lunch" as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

We're instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

These aren't even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying "hurr durrr" if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.

I was shocked to see a poll show 13% of Canadians were on board.

I was not at all shocked to see conservatives misrepresenting that poll's finding.
