Do you think if he kneels down and kisses trump feet he would be okay? I’m so worried damn…
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…
Maybe, just fucking maybe, the government isnt a business and you should stop thinking the proven vampires of the world will somehow be good for us cattle.
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.
He’s a business man who’s been bankrupt 6 times lmaoooo, gullible clowns
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.
There’s no point trying to make rational arguments against something that’s fundamentally irrational. Trump’s tariffs are just more Rambo posturing for his diehard MAGA legions, who don’t even understand that they’re the ones paying the tariffs.
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.
Those aren’t TRUE CONSERVATIVES and will be banned shortly.
Only TRUE CONSERVATIVES who love licking that orange man’s knob are allowed to comment in r/conservatives. Loyalty oaths will be presented shortly.
love licking that orange man’s knob
Well, I’ve been on Lemmy for all of four hours and just threw up in my mouth. Thanks for that!
Feels kinda like home dunnit? Two broke arms, coconut, poop knife. Better?
Oh noes! Anyway.
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.
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
He’s not, he’s a deranged rich kid who got old.
You very well and most likely all of us are missing the Y as to why Donald Trump has done the things he’s done and managed to always fall upwards.
I say that because if he’s so bad, he wouldn’t be continuously hired upwards. He’s now the most powerful position in the world so keep it in mind. He didn’t get there because every large business and its founders and CEOs are so much more dumber than the rest of us that they didn’t know what they were doing.
Some CEOs are hired as a hatchet CEO to destroy companies on purpose. To dismantle them from the inside. You guys need to start thinking that all of this is on purpose and is malicious and that they’re smarter than you. The art of war: do not underestimate your enemy.
This is a prime example of survivorship bias. It’s the equivalent of an idiot winning the lottery, continuing to buy tickets, winning the lottery again, and having people say “look how much money he has, he must be some financial genius!”
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.
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.
Every country has REALLY stupid people…
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.
Fruitcake is actually really nice, provided you make it yourself. Those bricks they sell in stores are nothing like the real thing. I think the store sold stuff is intended as replacements for structural support walls.
If you toast it with peanut butter its almost edible.
“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
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.
“Filing for bankruptcy” was his entire strategy as a business man, though.
And countries can totally do the same. Argentina was bankrupt at least twice, Venezuela has defaulted on bonds, Greece was restructured. And I’m pretty sure there are others.
Bye, bye reserve currency status and all the cheap loans, inflation reduction and broader economic influence that comes with it …
You couldn’t think that that was gonna last forever. I mean, it was very obvious. We were headed straight towards the collapse regardless. Cheap loans reserve currency inflation reduction literally all of that is just making climate change worse so this was all gonna end regardless.
I don’t think anyone should care about any of that stuff that was making it worse for all of us anyways. We need to start thinking in a way of how do we grab back power and then build this world up in our vision.
Because we’re not going back to the before time that’s not happening.
If it happens fast (because the US defaults on its external debt) rather than slowly (the slow decay from the post “Imperial” era), the damage will be very different because it will be a sudden shock rather than something slow enough that people and companies can adapt to it.
It’s the difference between, sudden hyper-inflation within a few months and having a few decades of higher inflation than its trade partners (which is actually what has been happenning so far) or a sudden forced significant cut on just about all kinds of public expenses (because nobody will be lending money to the US and printing money will generate way more inflation when a significant proportion of new dollars aren’t going abroad anymore, which links to the whole hyperinflation thing) and decades of fiscal contraction (again, what’s been happenning so far).
If you think people are dissatisfied because average salary growth isn’t keeping up with 7 or 8% inflation, imagine when it’s 30 or 40% inflation.
