"But he says he'd cut my taxes 5% so I'm giving him $100 million in dark money," they continued.
The dumb ones will. The smart ones know that demagoguery and authoritarianism can impact trade and currency valuation, and investing in them is a great way to lose a lot of money.
It's funny that you think there's smart ones. Haha!
Don't confuse intelligence with greed.
Trump is bad news for stability.
Yet, he will happily carve out ginormous advantages for his big backers. So they don't give a shit if the castle falls as long as they can loot the treasury and get out first.
Not every billionaire thinks Trump is the best way to get richer. Many think he’s a good way to lose a lot of money.
Greed gonna greed. Some billionaires think Trump will make them money, others think the opposite.
But that's in the future. I want that tax cut now!
I wish your faith in the oligarch class was justified.
Nope. The rich are greedy and I’m just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.

Some of them care more about power than even their own quality of life
That is the real issue.
Can't cut taxes if you don't pay taxes to begin with. Does not compute.
Of course he will save the RICH a lot of money but the majority of working folks will pay dearly.
Don't care what any CEO says or does.
Don't sit this one out.
#VOTE BLUE
And I asked him, I said to him, and noone had asked him that question, I asked him, and he said noone had ever asked him, I said to him, would you stay on the boat, the boat is sinking, so the boat is under water, but there's a shark, but the boat is sinking, and there is a battery, so I asked him, and noone had ever asked him, I asked him, would you stay on the boat, the boat that is under water, and there is a battery, so there is electric, I asked him, and there is a shark, I asked him, and he said nobody had ever asked him, I asked him do you jump off the boat? The boats underwater, but there's a boat, and there is electricity, but there's a shark, so I asked him, and he said he had never been asked this before, I asked him, do you jump off the boat that is now under water? Do you stay on the?... Do you stay in the boat and get eaten by the shark? Because the boat is under... do you stay on the boat, that's under water, and get eaten by the shark? Or do you get electrocuted?
He said he didn't know. He said noone had ever asked him that.
That's enough about the boat.
-Based on a real speech Trump gave at a rally that resulted in everyone leaving early.
Here's the transcript. It's a rant against electric boats.
Okay.
Do the video clip.
There are many clips from news shows and reaction videos on this, but I really don't think anyone needs a funny person to explain it and editing only makes it appear out of context.
His speech is perfectly idiotic without any editing or explanation.
This is the uncut speech with a timestamp to the boat thing.

Thank you good sir.
Give up on your kbin.social account?
Using kbin.social and kbin.earth simultaneously while Ernest works out his health issues/figures out how to grow his team to cover while he focuses on his health.
I definitely prefer kbin.social, but it is definitely suffering while the captain is addressing other matters.
I've been happy with kbin.run.
Going to second this. It hit critical mass of users where the all feed isn't just one person's special interests just after the thread a few months back and it's like i never moved.
Same. I didn't want to leave kbin, but I needed an instance that works.
I think I'm still automatically donating five bucks every month to Ernest, anyway. Hope he gets back on his feet someday.
I'll check it out.
Definitely wasn’t expecting to see an RVA username on Lemmy tonight.
That’s like a Stewart Lee joke
It's like North Korea in the GOP. If you aren't clapping maniacally and openly sobbing in His Presence you will be primaried.
Also, sundowning
"“At one point, he discussed his plan to bring the corporate tax rate down from 21% to 20% … and was asked about why he had chosen 20%,” Sorkin said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “And he said, ‘Well, it’s a round number.’”
“That unto itself had a number of CEOs shaking their heads,” Sorkin reported."
This is hilarious.
"This is why we like him, and will drop millions in dark money.', they added."
This article could have written in 2016 other than referring to the dumbass as being a former president.
Another day, another fascist account to block.
I'm going to make it my business in life to respond to every one of these "but Biden is worse" comments with something I wrote up that I call: I am voting for Biden and this is why you should too...
The first meeting was with his Republican lickspittles so of course they're going to call him engaged an animated and clap for his stupid ideas.
I mean, that's been the case for at least 20 years.
Not stopping them trying to put him back in Office though is it
Yes, and/or duuuuuuuuuuhhhhh 🤦♂️
So, same as 2020? And 2016?
No shit?
Never did
Par for the course.
This story keeps appearing again and again in various forms since 2016. Unfortunately, many people don't care at all.
So same as always?
It isn't like he's going to be the one running anything except his mouth if he's elected.
The man is 78 years old. He shouldn't be president.
And neither should Biden because he's fucking older!
Yup, but we'll have Trump if we don't vote for Biden. We really need to have age limits on who can be president.
Right? We have an age limit on the lower end at 35 years old minimum, but there's no cap on the other end? It's ridiculous.
It's even more funny because far lower government positions have iron clad retirement ages for example federal correctional officers and probation officers retire at like 55 or 60 because of how stressful the job is.
One of the two will be President in 2025. And I just don't buy the 'Biden is slow because he's older.' In fact, I'm not voting against Trump exclusively. I am actually voting for Biden, and that link is why you should as well.
I'm going to vote for Biden because he's going to be a better president than Trump, but that's still doesn't mean that either one of them should be president.
Retirement age is 65 in America and as low as 55 For various government employees and high stress positions, why should the presidency be any different?
Wait, I never thought about this!!! /s
