A fresh bowlful of faces for the leopards to snack on.
A business man who has failed to sell: Booze, football, and steaks...TO AMERICANS.
Can't forget gambling.
True. LOL.
Which is because he tried to put his name on all of it and charge a premium. No actual added value. Just his name. Turns out that's not a winning strategy.
the idea is to convince the rabble that invading and taking over Canada is....noble, warranted, patriotic and an American right. just as the Nazis did in the 30s
"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
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.
I guess the house doesn't always win.
I'm an investor in predominately european companies. My investments have risen 20%... so far
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.
Well, he's being the same failed businessman and bigot he's been his entire life, the biggest difference between the two terms is that now he doesn't have undoing all the things that a black man did while in office to keep him busy.
He's a BAD business man, how do you retards not know this. And it's a country not a business, it was never meant to be run like a business...
Jesus Christ I hate these people
He's a TV businessman as in he's as much a business man as any actor. Conservatives seem to repeatedly make the mistake that actors actually do the things for real
"BUSINESSMAN GOOD"
If these people existed in the past, before modern society broke the process of natural selection, they'd have perished long ago.
MUH INVESTMENTS
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.
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.
I am guessing a lot of them will blame this on Biden, citing the normal truth that presidents usually don't make immediately apparent noticeable impacts on the economy. It normally takes months or years for most policy to make a big difference. In this case, the tariffs are so stupid on their face that no honest person could deny they would have drastic effects. Compare stock market graphs to the timeline of trump announcements... but they will deny it and pretend this is business as usual, and because it's only a month in, it's obviously Biden. Nevermind that they would never normally believe that shit if it's inconvenient to their case.
They don’t understand that when you have the kind of power he has “trolling” is terrorism.
Fuck these idiots. Reaping what they sowed.
The problem is we (Americans) are all reaping what a small group of people sowed. Some of us didn't vote for this. Most people didn't vote at all. I wish it was mandatory like in Australia. I want my voting sausage.
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.
Well, except the things that would have been nice. Like bringing down prices, ending wars, not being a little bitch in the white house.
He promised that he would bring down prices by putting tariffs on everything. So you can check that one off the list. The tariffs are in place. And he promised to end the war in Ukraine by bullying them into surrendering to Russia, and finishing the genocide in Palestine, so you can check off ending wars as well.
The only one he didn't promise was to not be a little bitch in the White House, because we all knew that's exactly what he was gonna be. We had historical evidence of that.
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.
You needn't look further than 'Conservative Environmentalist'. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.
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's a trump voter.
All you need to know.
Well well well. Is he "hurting the wrong people" again? who would've thunk
Oh now they're beginning to realize hes a moron at the wheel? No longer the Trump playing 4D meme chess?
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.
Hahahahah it never gets old
"HeS a BiSnNeSSmaN"
