    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…

    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.

    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?

    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.

      Believing that others in their tribe (who they THINK are in their tribe) are being truthful is probably the most ubiquitous flaw conservatives have.

    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

      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.

      You very well and most likely all of us are missing the Y as to why Donald Trump has done the things he’s done and managed to always fall upwards.

      I say that because if he’s so bad, he wouldn’t be continuously hired upwards. He’s now the most powerful position in the world so keep it in mind. He didn’t get there because every large business and its founders and CEOs are so much more dumber than the rest of us that they didn’t know what they were doing.

      Some CEOs are hired as a hatchet CEO to destroy companies on purpose. To dismantle them from the inside. You guys need to start thinking that all of this is on purpose and is malicious and that they’re smarter than you. The art of war: do not underestimate your enemy.

        This is a prime example of survivorship bias. It’s the equivalent of an idiot winning the lottery, continuing to buy tickets, winning the lottery again, and having people say “look how much money he has, he must be some financial genius!”

    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.

      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.

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

      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.
