It’s always so sad and absurdly funny at the same time that real people think like this. I can’t help but laugh and then just rethink about my life yet again.

The MAGAts failed to learn the Orange KGB agent does not give a flying fuck about them. Businees acumen? Nope. LOL!

You just love to see it.

You think he would vote for Trump again? Or did he learn from this?

If we ever have a vote again. Yeah. 100% because he'll once again think the GOP is just so great on the economy. DOW is down 750 points at the moment if anyone is wondering how absolute chaos effects the stock market.

Why people regard Trump as good businessman? Bunch of his shit went bankrupt because he's so "excellent". Same as with Elon. Everyone treats him as genius. He's a moron who hires actual smart people and then take credit for their work. And everything is always ultra late, over budget or never materialized. And now these two bozos work together to "fix" US government that has been functioning perfectly well for 300+ years.

Well, we might have a very different opinion of "perfectly well" but otherwise I agree.

It is called "coping". At the back of their minds, they know they got it wrong but are too proud to admit it. So, they double down instead and engaging in sunk cost fallacy.

Haven’t seen a more apt example of a face eaten by a leopard in quite a while. This is about as cut-and-dry as it gets.

Fine tooth comb lmao.

I remember listening to a news podcast and I don't recall if it was an idea of the GOP, heritage, musk, bolsonaro (who they're taking cues from) but one idea was fire all employees with an even number ID. Easy way to get half the staff. I'm still expecting that kind of "fine tooth comb" because so far they're just going after the easy starting point: asking people to resign and probationary workers.

Never dealt with any business type person who did anything "with a fine tooth comb". It's always "just tear it out and replace it with my thing, it'll be fine". It's never fine but they're so far above the mess that it doesn't affect them so who gives a shit.

So Trump created a tv show as an ad to establish an image as a businessman. I wonder if that’s all they know.

Could they have somehow missed or ignored decades of news headlines and only paid attention to TV? And thought “reality TV” was reality?
