Not a business man, a con artist.
“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.
"filing for bankruptcy" is exactly Trump's plan for the nation, except instead o bankruptcy it'll be martial law
Watch out, he's starting to get ticked off! You don't understand, his investments are dipping!
Don't you understand, an actual person (him) is experiencing consequences! He's said all the right words and hated the correct kind of human, this should not be happening to him!
They're pretty dumb, they keep saying "canada would be the 51st state" as if there aren't 10 provinces
Oh no ..actions have consequences.. anyways..
Musks head already looks like an archaic human fucked the cadaver of King Charles of Spain he doesn't need to be exaggerated like this.
It’s a bittersweet feeling to see their true colors come to the surface from what was always festering under the guise of “traditional values” and “conservative fiscal policies”. To refer to our country as a “company”…well that truly frames the photo exactly for how it is and how it’s been run… at everyone else’s expense for the benefit of very few. Surprise! May not like it so much now that it’s affecting sweet little ol’ you.
"real people" I guess Canadians are not real people for him.
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.
The "In-group" is the only one that matters.
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.
Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.
Millionaire is a pretty low bar these days, a salary worker reaching retirement age probably has a million dollar net worth.
A million dollar net worth is barely enough to be comfortable in retirement in the U.S. You can pull $2500/mo from your investments, don't forget about health care and the cost of dying. You're also one medical claim denial away from bankruptcy.
Yea but they're never going to find that empathy so at least there's this
As if conservatives place an iota of value on any human life apart from their own.
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.
plus Kash and Bogina who are both leading the FBI. WTF. Kash has never fucking run anything, and Bogina is a fuckwit.
asleep at the wheel is actually preferable to someone steering hard towards the biggest cliff they can see
I legit think they would device immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.
Too bad every news outlet is so terrified of losing access that they never fucking do
Putin's Sock Puppet is a businessman???
A business man who has failed to sell: Booze, football, and steaks...TO AMERICANS.
Can't forget gambling.
I don't even know how that's possible, casinos are barely legal money printing machines. People drive hours to the middle of buttfuck, nowhere in many states just to gamble, and his were in major cities for Christsake, lol.
It is very unsettling to see him in financial control of all of us again, after crashing the economy once already.
I don't even know how that's possible, casinos are barely legal money printing machines.
Because it was a money laundering scam.
He skimmed too much off the top, since he kept billing his expenses to the casino, and then they collapsed.
Muh investments
"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.
I'm an investor in predominately european companies. My investments have risen 20%... so far
EutelSat is where the investments are at. And the EU's MIC. Good time to be European.
Aw poor babies maybe they shouldn’t have voted for a selfish worthless puppet manchild
That dude is so lost. ::shakes head::
Fuck these idiots. Reaping what they sowed.
Problem is, it's affecting us in canada, and other countries too, so were also reaping what they sowed
Oh, but there IS a national bankruptcy filing, little brainless Timmy.
You're not going to like that at all.
