He’s a business man who’s been bankrupt 6 times lmaoooo, gullible clowns

[–] Osnapitsjoey@lemmy.one 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The bankruptcy claim comes up a lot. I hate Trump as much as anyone who can form opinions that don't come from a radio talk show, but I'd be willing to he's the bankruptcies were by design. He probably did what the toys r us CEO and 50 cent did, where they funnel money out of a company, and the company goes under.

That being said. He's still a fucking piece of shit who's making the founding fathers roll in their graves

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

It's the generous interpretation where Trump abused the bankruptcy system for his own benefit, and I definitely agree.

Still wouldn't want a country run that way, the people are the consumers about to be conned or the investors about to be fleeced.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 16 hours ago

I saw the "and there's no filing for bankruptcy on this one" at the end and all I could think is that even if you thought running a country like a business was a good idea (it's not) why would you pick a businessman who's filed for bankruptcy quite a lot to be the one to do so? I feel like he needs to ask himself that.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Maybe, just fucking maybe, the government isnt a business and you should stop thinking the proven vampires of the world will somehow be good for us cattle.

Conservatives are for the most part still deluded into thinking that his goal is to "balance the trade deficit."

It's horseshit. That's not his goal, it's his pretense; the idiot reason he gives his idiot followers so that they don't see him for the Russian asset he is.

He is doing something...for the insider traders. Where the OP lost 15% the insiders dumped off ahead of the storm and will buy the dip.

[–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

The guy that has had way more business failures than successes (and even that's questionable if you control for fraudulent reporting) doesn't understand how economics works? The hell you say...

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Those aren't TRUE CONSERVATIVES and will be banned shortly.

Only TRUE CONSERVATIVES who love licking that orange man's knob are allowed to comment in r/conservatives. Loyalty oaths will be presented shortly.

love licking that orange man’s knob

Well, I've been on Lemmy for all of four hours and just threw up in my mouth. Thanks for that!

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Feels kinda like home dunnit? Two broke arms, coconut, poop knife. Better?

[–] SeanBrently@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget jolly rancher.

I first heard what a poop knife was about 10 years ago from my wife. Evidently they had one in her house growing up.

She and some of y'all need jesus lol.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

I heard about it on Reddit, I have a pretty good diet, haven't ever needed, or known anyone that needed, a poop knife

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (7 children)

he is a business man

No he isn't. Everything she's ever touched turned to utter shit and went bankrupt. He bankrupted a casino. Like, how even do you do that? That's not incompetence, that requires a very specific skill set to do

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Not just one. He managed to bankrupt 3 or 4 casinos on the Jersey Shore in Atlantic City in the late 80s and early 90s.

That's like burning down a mint 4 times.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 5 points 20 hours ago

He's not, he's a deranged rich kid who got old.

Things that make about as much sense as "Conservative Environmentalist":

  • Anarcho Bidenism
  • People that enjoy fruitcake
  • Jumbo shrimp
  • For Profit Social Services
  • Anarcho Capitalism
  • People referring to a lion being the ‘king of the jungle’ without realising lions don’t live in jungles.
[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Fruitcake is actually really nice, provided you make it yourself. Those bricks they sell in stores are nothing like the real thing. I think the store sold stuff is intended as replacements for structural support walls.

There's no point trying to make rational arguments against something that's fundamentally irrational. Trump's tariffs are just more Rambo posturing for his diehard MAGA legions, who don't even understand that they're the ones paying the tariffs.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

No, just thought of Canada being part of the US is just mind fucking blowing. People here besides the military have no clue what war fucking is. That alone is bonkers. Anything besides that is just as mind blowing. Not even a fucking conversation or thought to have. Canada is Canada and I’m glad to be their neighbor. Anyone want to grab a puppers?

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think the absurdity is the point. Putin wants America isolated, so he's having trump threaten our closest allies.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

Indeed. But my point is how in the hell do you even entertain that idea or finish a sentence like that post? Shouldn’t even be a topic nor a joke. Anyways….. I can go for a puppers.

[–] spacesatan@leminal.space 50 points 1 day ago

"we need someone to run the government like a business" "lets pick this guy with 40 bankruptcies" my guy even if the premise wasn't idiotic what did you think would happen

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

Oh noes! Anyway.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 18 hours ago

It's a page out of Putin's book make memes about the thing until it's normalised

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was shocked to see a poll show 13% of Canadians were on board.

I was not at all shocked to see conservatives misrepresenting that poll's finding.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Every country has REALLY stupid people...

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

Alberta, Essentially Texas North. Heavily conservative, oil Sands, cowboy hats.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not a business man, a con artist.

[–] tamman2000@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

And when he does run an actual business, he tends to go bankrupt, and rarely profits more than a broad market index fund would.

In other words, he's objectively bad at business. He would be poor if he hadn't been born rich.

[–] shaquilleoatmeal@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago (4 children)

“Filing for bankruptcy” was his entire strategy as a business man, though.

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.

Watch out, he's starting to get ticked off! You don't understand, his investments are dipping!

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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!

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.
