Do you think if he kneels down and kisses trump feet he would be okay? I’m so worried damn…
They’re learning…
They only care when it affects them. If Trump hurts other people they’re ok with it.
…are they though? Or is this just temporary observation until the next outrage distraction?
Let me have hope pleaseeee
Not a business man, a con artist.
And when he does run an actual business, he tends to go bankrupt, and rarely profits more than a broad market index fund would.
In other words, he’s objectively bad at business. He would be poor if he hadn’t been born rich.
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.
Yeah, we told you dumb pieces of shit that chaos was bad since 2015. None of you cared.
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.
This seems like a bit of the Gru meme where you add “tank the US economy” as the last slide.
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
Hey, CG, would you mind editing the R-slur out of your comment? We don’t do ableism around here.
I mean i feel it was appropriate wording by the actual definition but ig there are other ways to get the point across so sure
Yeah over my dead body.
They’re pretty dumb, they keep saying “canada would be the 51st state” as if there aren’t 10 provinces
They have to be accepted as one, just like we need 2 Dakotas and Carolinas.
The senate has to be balanced for Republicans, otherwise it’s just not fair, you see?
American media promotes Canada as a singular place. Seattle is in Washington, but Vancouver is in Canada; Detroit is in Michigan, but Toronto is in Canada. The idea that other countries can also be broken down into sub-national jurisdictions that are not politically or culturally aligned just doesn’t come up.
That’s a privilege reserved only for 'Murica.
That dude is so lost. ::shakes head::
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.
But he jes needa run this cuntry like a business, that’s all we need
A businessman who has bankrupted casinos and had to be bailed out by his rich family and screwing over his creditors on several occasions.
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…
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?
I think the absurdity is the point. Putin wants America isolated, so he’s having trump threaten our closest allies.
Indeed. But my point is how in the hell do you even entertain that idea or finish a sentence like that post? Shouldn’t even be a topic nor a joke. Anyways…… I can go for a puppers.
“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.
Sounds like a business guy to me
I saw a calculation once that found he’d be more wealthy now if he literally just shoved all of his money into stocks when he turned 18. Truly evidence of an incredibly smart business man
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.
Seriously the only way I can invision him doing that without illegal activities is that he pissed off all the proper contractors in the support industries and had to special order everything.
I could see something like that happening to Donald “I like to brag about not paying contractors” Trump.
I guess the house doesn’t always win.
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.
A business man with a business plan, gonna make you money in business land. (I’m not a cop)
Muh investments
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.
Believing that others in their tribe (who they THINK are in their tribe) are being truthful is probably the most ubiquitous flaw conservatives have.
