MODERATORS
He's not even hurting them. They're still up for the year. They're historically up for the last ten years, in the face of enormous economic headwinds.
Trump stepped in, the market surged, and now its floated back down to December 2024 baseline.
And these losers are screaming like stick pigs because Big Line doesn't always go up forever.
"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
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.
I just don't talk to my maga relatives about anything of substance, or about anything at all if I can help it. Less frustrating for everyone involved.

I mentioned this to a relative that a federal job has lost all security compared to a equivalent private sector position. They said "well no job ever has security". Private sectors only goal is make money for the boss - the other provides essential public services and maintains infrastructure. They are not the same
Exactly. And part of that infrastructure is the same person filing the paperwork, making sure it’s done right.
May they lose every dime. May they only know the taste of day old bread and stagnant water for the rest of time. May they shiver in the night and boil in the day. May the rain soak them to the bone, and may the snow freeze their skin. No love, no shelter, no aid.

I keep seeing this sentiment expressed over and over again and it seems that a large cross-section of the public still doesn't get it. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, of all places, but it bears repeating:
Trump is not a "businessman." Trump is a con man.
He has never actually run a successful business and he doesn't know how. The only thing he does know how to do is run a grift to bilk investors, creditors, the government, HUD, etc. out of money for projects that he really has no intention of completing or to prop up businesses he has no intention of sustaining. He is incessantly robbing Peter to pay Paul just long enough in the hopes of keeping his creditors or the prosecution at bay -- not always successfully, I might add, because his businesses have been bankrupted four times including the infamous three casinos.
The issue now is that since he's oozed his way into government he is shielded from having the hammer brought down on him by many of the people he's cheated.
Hahahahah it never gets old
"HeS a BiSnNeSSmaN"
When the fuck has a business/businessman ever given a shit about your interests?
Hiring business men to run the government is like hiring a fancy mouse breeder to do surgery on your seeing eye dog.
But he jes needa run this cuntry like a business, that's all we need
A businessman who has bankrupted casinos and had to be bailed out by his rich family and screwing over his creditors on several occasions.
Just wait tell they find out he does not give a shit about them.
"business" man. He is in the business of crime & destruction. Everything he touches, dies. He is killing it right now.

"my investments" -TSLA bagholder
He is acting like a business man: fucking over everyone else for his own interest.
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.
Oh now they're beginning to realize hes a moron at the wheel? No longer the Trump playing 4D meme chess?
Guess they missed the part where President Elon said economic pain was inevitable and necessary
My favorite part of this is "Real people are suffering..." Oh no! Real people, you say? I better take that seriously, unlike all those fake people whose suffering is both imaginary, and completely justified. Who the hell cares about any of them?
He’s a businessman who bankrupted multiple casinos. What the hell did they expect?
Yeah, we told you dumb pieces of shit that chaos was bad since 2015. None of you cared.
Here's my thinking: we forgive these people if they agree to stand at the frontlines and endure the impacts of the first tear gas canisters/rubber bullets. Then it feels more fair and we can work together again maybe.
