Craig Fuller thought he was voting for business savvy, not economic shock therapy.
Does he know anything at all about the felon who has left a long trail of failed businesses and can bankrupt
a casinothree casinos? Trump is doing pretty much exactly what he said he’d do and any CEO that doesn’t know that deserves to be unemployed.Three casinos.
6 total bankruptcies.
And he always proudly points out that he himself has never been personally bankrupt. Somehow, the fact that he always manages to bankrupt his investors instead of himself was seen as a good reason why America should become his next big investor.
I thought it was 5 casinos and a resort (with a casino on)…?
Edit:
Bankruptcies were…
1991: Trump Taj Mahal
1992: Trump Castle Hotel & Casino
1992: Trump Plaza Casino
1992: Trump Plaza Hotel (not a casino, just a hotel.)
2004: Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts
2009: Trump Entertainment Resorts (casino holding company. FFS, not only did he bankrupt casinos. Which is one of the most lucrative businesses out there, he also bankrupted a company that handles the casinos. How the fuck is that even -legally- possible to bankrupt a company that owns the most lucrative businesses!!!)There are numerous other businesses that also failed spectacularly. Plus there ‘businesses’ that were just scams, the university that never was.
Promises of extensive redevelopment that got ‘put on hold’ after his golf courses got built etc.And a football league
It’s all emotions. Facts don’t matter.
In his view, the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are functionally an embargo, and they’ve been rolled out so suddenly that U.S. companies haven’t had time to adapt. “It’s too much too fast,” Fuller told reporters in a phone interview. “The economy can’t absorb it.”
If only an expert had known this beforehand.
If only our government was being ran by competent people and if someone is incompetent they were removed.
Do you want a government full of Steven Millers? 'Cause that’s how you get a government full of Steven Millers.
I said competent and I meant at their job, not at being a Neonazi!
For an example, when Kash Patel shows up without a budget to the budget hearing he gets removed for gross incompetence.
They’re still going to pick neonazis, though, so if you insist on competency then they’ll end up with competent neonazis. That, to me, seems like the worst-case scenario.
(Also, I want to make it clear that my comments shouldn’t be construed as any sort of praise for Steven Miller’s competency… he’s just the first one who came to mind that was clearly evil yet not also a buffoon.)
I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…
Yes you did jackass. People like him are the reason I don’t have a job anymore.
Hey, be fair to the guy. He only voted for all the ways Trump promised to hurt the people he didn’t like, not for the ways Trump promised to hurt him.
Sucks, bro. Sorry. I tried to stop this.
I don’t understand, why doesn’t he just “pull himself up by by his bootstraps” and work harder. That’s what they tell everyone else, right?
That is a real shame. All these people are choosing to be poor. The real trick of this whole thing is you need to be independently wealthy for it to work for you. If only these folks understood that, they might choose differently.
“FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy.”
Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn’t be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.
If only someone with some level of responsibility at Freightwaves bothered to google “tariffs” before donating and voting for the Tupperware face.

The funny thing is, this would say off some right wing people without them realizing the irony of getting mad at it.
At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.
Very clear example of the media being very divorced from middle class realities.
Bro, we don’t feel bad for poor people who voted for their demise, and you think we would care about CEOs?
LOL! I hope he starves.
And just WHY did he vote for donvict, anyway? Was it really for “business savvy”?
:/
That’s a shame.
I heard this in Jerry’s voice.
Bet they won’t stop voting Republican tho
They are the only game in town, particularly at the state and local level.
Republicans are in a suicide pact with their party. If you try to leave, your peers will kill you that much faster.
“See the next GOP president will fix it all with this one simple trick. Yup. It’ll totally work. USA USA.”
If that doesn’t work, elect them again!
Stock Market is Up.
That’s all these people care about. The US can become a country that only knows how to make weird AI advertisements and MLM scams, and so long as GDP goes up these people will think everything is fine.
The stock market is around the same level it was 6 months ago and still down from the beginning of his presidency
Man helps throw gasoline on his own house that was set fire by arsonist who told everyone he was going to burn houses … the man who threw gasoline around is now heartbroken that his house is on fire.
