Every goddamn conservative parasite in this country needs to carry the stain of Trump until the day they die. Any time any one of these blubbering fucks tries to speak they need to be reminded of what their diseased worldview got us.
Don't argue with them, don't attempt to reason with them, just remind them how badly they absolutely fucked everything from here on out.
You got what you voted for dipshit. Zero sympathy.
Hahahhahahahahhahagahha
That's what you get when you let the rich interfere in politics.
Ken Langone blasted Trump’s sweeping tariffs as “bulls–t,” calling the 10% across-the-board rate and country-specific hikes—like 34% on China and 46% on Vietnam—“too aggressive” and poorly calculated.
Well, you should've thought about that before you donated money to him.
Megadonor? More like Mega-simp.
Isn’t this the same guy that wants to charge for parking in Home Depot if you don’t buy something in their store?
This is standard practice in most supermarkets and even shopping centres that are located in higher density city centers in Europe, because otherwise nobody would be able to find a spot to park...
I get that, but I've gone to Home Depot to buy something expensive(in room ac), listed on their site as available, only to find none when I got there. I wouldn't want to pay parking for what amounts to false advertising.
Oh I've had this happen, and the staff were attentive and asked me if I needed them to validate my parking.
It really depends where this is coming from, if its a global policy for all stores even if they don't need it, it's a dick move. If they apply it to only the stores where parking is a big issue, I can understand.
Tough luck rich guy. You wanted it so you could go back to your fantasy of the past. Now he is shitting on you like he promised to do and you helped pay for it. schadenfreude
I find it particularly funny that he says Trump is being "poorly advised" on trade policy. You are already at the stage where the Czar is never to blame, it always falls on the Noble advisors at his imperial court.
I see it more like saying his handlers ought to be handling him better. Maybe the people who Trump is supposed to serve are having trouble with that. I do hope so. If his wealthy backers turn against him, he won't last long.
I swear I saw an undertaker measuring Musk for the casket. Even he’s got to realized he’s being set up as the fall guy. Before the year is out, he’ll be propped up for display in the town square for everyone to revile (and be distracted from the real fascist).
FIGURATIVELY
Hmm
So you're telling me if a Home Depot burns down rn they'll blame Trumpers?
Womp womp
Nice!
Ooh, someone’s mad because they weren’t on the insider trading group chat.
Trumps entire economic "plan" was to levy massive sweeping tariffs. He wouldnt shut up about it during the campaign, Harris kept warning that he was really going to do it, Trump kept insisting he was going to do it when surrogates attempted to soften his stance and now he is actually doing it. How stupid do you have to be to think he wasnt going to do the key part of his agenda?
Imagine being a billionaire and still being too stupid to understand cause and effect
Billionaires are not known for being smart
Someone missed the memo and didn't buy the dip.
These kinds of people could lose 90% of their wealth and nothing material would change in their lives (ok maybe after they drop down to mere 100 millionaire status they'd have to sell the mega yacht). It's hilarious to see people like this getting upset because "number went down", when they could just choose to not be upset about it-- they're literally too broken in their brains to be happy.
They have mental illness - OCD and Hoarding.
If I collected old newspapers, or cats, or old vehicles, etc., far beyond what anyone would consider normal, I'd be called a hoarder, and people around me would try to get me medical attention.
But when these people do the same thing with money, they are practically worshipped, and they are encouraged to hoard more, and use their money to change the laws to get them even more money to hoard. Imagine someone who is hoarding hundreds of cats, and actively breeding more of them. NOBODY would encourage it, they would take the cats away, and find them new homes, and get psychatric treatment for the hoarder.
We need to treat billionaires like the financial hoarders that they are. Take away their hoard, and discourage hoarding behavior in the future, for the same reasons that we would remove the cats - because it's bad for society.
That's the goal. Burn down the forest and scoop all the assets of the businesses that died.
Leopards or something, I think.
I’ve never tried billionaire face, but if it’s good enough for the leopards…
So he got conned by a con man. You know what you called people who got conned? Suckers and losers.
Most people get conned. Some cons are just more obvious than others.
Sit back, and watch your shit get wrecked by the man you thought you'd purchased.
That's the power of the Home Depot.
"These tariffs are affecting me, there for they are bad and wrong! He should have calculated them in such a way that didnt affect me, personally!"
You (Ken Langone) made a bad investment -> Take the L
But they never do, nor will they ever have to. They can just sue the company for poor stock performance and then claim the unrealized losses as a tax write-off this year. It's infuriating. If aliens are real, I hope they can summon the billionaires money in physical form and then drop it on them.

You funded him, get over it
Yeah, founder of home Depot can go fuck himself.
Also don't shop at home Depot, he might be gone but the company still donated heavily Republican compared to most other hardware stores outside of Menards.
I hate that I can't avoid them entirely in my area except for nuts-and-bolts type things, which I go to my local hardware store for. Home Depot and Lowe's have a monopoly in my area when it comes to most goods, but I had to give up on Lowe's entirely due to the truly terrible customer experience.
(Home Depot has a bad customer experience too, but my local Lowe's is on a different level.)

Uh, don't make me tap the sign...
Unlike HitlerPig, this Sociopathic Oligarch is a smart businessman, and he knows that much of his inventory's cost is about to double.
Now he has a Sophie's Choice - double his retail prices and watch his sales crater, or reduce his profits, OR, the more likely choice, try to walk a tightrope between them, raising costs as much as he can without losing too much business, and absorbing the rest by a reduction in profits.
Any of those choices are going to have a negative impact on the stock price, and he will be deemed responsible, even though none of it is his fault, and all of it is directly attributable to HitlerPig's virtuosic dumbassery.
Trump is the result of what the capitalists have done to the population since Reagan.
If you're a billionaire who profited off gutting taxes, the commons, schools, etc while propping up for profit media pushing pro business lies like climate change is a hoax to line your own pockets, this is your fault.
As much bloody murder as Kenny here is crying, he isn't suffering a tiny fraction enough. He should be in a secured mental health facility to treat his antisocial hoarding disorder for both his and our safety.
I often talk about these Sociopathic Oligarchs as mentally ill hoarders. If anybody collected cats like these guys collect money, they'd lock them up, but somehow these deranged people get worshipped for hoarding money they will never, ever need, even at the expense if destroying the entire country.
if he was smart, he shouldnt have donated to a known con-man.
It's definitely partially his fault. He just thought he wouldn't be the one getting hurt.
Every republican megadonor should be shot.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Fascists happily use corporate influence to gain power. But once they've achieved power, the corporations end up completely subjugated to the state just like everyone else. In Hitler's Germany, if you ran any kind of major company, the state told you what you were going to produce, when you were going to produce it, and how much you would be paid for it. Any executive who objected found themselves joining the other undesirables.
Sorry no take backsies. You bought an idiot, deal with it like the rest of us you schmuck.
