Wealthy business leaders are turning on US President Donald Trump over his plan to impose a colossal set of tariffs on America’s trading partners, as losses mount on stock markets around the world.
Yeah, because of course they are. I mean, it’s not like they could have POSSIBLY known how bad the shitgibbon would shit the bed, right? RIGHT?!
Are they really, though? Or are they just reading the room and pretending to give a shit while buying the dip so they won’t get Luigi’d?
Well, a group backed by Leonard Leo and the Koch brothers sued Trump because of tariffs. I’d say that’s giving a bit of a shit.
These goons run companies who are notorious for only caring about this quarter’s profits. If they see profits drop because of bullshit tariffs, that’s going to hurt them today. And any benefits, if they ever appear, will take years to show up, so they’re not worth supporting.
Sounds like these dummy CEOs don’t realize that losing money costs you nothing maybe they need to go read Art of the Deal and find out how a real man runs (and subsequently destroys) businesses!
Millionaires and private equity are going to clean up. Most billionaires are cash poor and are losing big. Traders like Buffet can liquidate, but owners like Musk and Bezos can’t just sell off all ownership.
Buffet liquidated months ago. He’s been sitting on a pile of cash waiting for “value” (meaning a crash)
Exactly. Most traders do when a Republican takes office.
Not as smart as they think they are. Only way to be sure is to not be a billionaire anymore.
They’re jealous because only one billionaire got to penetrate the holy inner Trump circle, like a sick South African sperm crossing into the diseased MAGA ovum, to fuck with federal regulators and help his own businesses.
That will give birth to a deformed monster that will probably be a still birth
That’s what he tried to do.
Also, he’s not done for yet: the vast majority of Musk’s business is government contracts. SpaceX in particular benefits greatly from the Musk corruption. It’s only Tesla that’s suffering (slightly) and it’s not the company Musk has the most shares in.
it’s not the company Musk as the most shares in
Number of shares is an arbitrary figure. It’s the value of all those shares that matters.
And how well did he do helping his own businesses? Lol
Billionaires have always turned on Trump, slightly more than underage girls.
We will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitat
Awesome, so a democrat cannot fix it in 4 years and the population will vote for an idiot again. Endless circle of stupidity…
Maybe the next Republican will be more sensible.

Greed is one hell of a drug.
My enemy’s enemy is not necessarily my friend.
I think this is fake news.
They’re all millionaires now.
