looks like we're back down to 10% global tariffs. ROFL-copter.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6zn3ly22yo

so between Lutnick.. Bessent.. and Trump.. i think we should just shave Lutnick's head and call him Curly. I'm not sure who is Larry and Moe between Bessent and Trump though.


Have you guys seen the new Trump music video? its based on this 80s all time classic.

The biggest chunk of Trump's wealth came in the last year:

[image loading]


Before that, he managed to bankrupt 6 businesses, he was allowed to do that because American system allows people to fuck people and companies over and still keep your wealth.

The bulk of his net worth comes from real estate which exploded over years, he inherited half a billion (adjusted for inflation) of his Father's money and real-estate, that appreciated, a lot, he got a lot of the rest of his portfolio through shady deals and he lied to banks, investors and IRS all while doing that.

With all that shit, he barely got from the initial half a billion to a bit over 3 billion before he doubled his net worth by accepting bribes and doing crypto scams over the duration of his presidency.


His biggest achievement is convincing Americans that he's a successful business man, and that was done by the combinations of reality TV and Americans, on average, being morons.

Trump is so quintessentially an "American product" we should probably put him on the flag.

He convinced people he was a peak businessman before reality TV, though the multi-million dollar production team and propaganda campaign so NBC could make a buck, certainly helped.

That's a bit of a theme. Whether it's NBC, the gossip columns, or CitiBank, it was in their financial interest to perpetuate the propaganda around him being a successful businessman.

I guess that's what you might call a whoopsie-doodle?

I don’t think there is a better example of “failing upwards” than Trump and his little movement.

Maybe he could hang a "Mission Accomplished" banner on the Arc de Trump to celebrate his 3rd term?

The supreme court consists of 2 Trump appointees and is dominated by Republicans. The court recently ended the foundation of Republican Donald Trump's bargaining power by a score of 6-3. So, the Constitution remains in force.

Electing a president for the third time would be unconstitutional, which is what pmh is hoping will happen.

Yeah because it being unconstitutional would prevent another capitol shitshow or similar thing, except they’d be better prepared this time and might succeed.

At least when Adolf failed his first coup d‘etat he had to do jail time.

In the EU they issued a warning about the banking system possibly being cut off due to the massive uncertainty caused and the very real threat.

Don‘t know about you but I‘ll be taking precautions.

I don‘t take it at face value. It‘s probably more meant along the way of ‚who even cares what happens next at this point‘.

Relatable. It‘ll probably be the EU becoming somebody elses protectorate eventually. Beats having to constantly deal with power grabs at any cost because just existing and having a shitton of money isn‘t enough to Trumps clientele.

I took it as exasperation at the lack of a realistic/coherent plan from Democrats/their supporters. The SOTU response being an example of their incoherency.

Are you completely unable to separate the idea of a slightly better society versus something closer to ideal or what?

It’s like you’d rather have Trump’s ICE goons shooting innocent people so you can prevaricate on how bad the Dems are for not stopping them doing so than like, having the Democrats in power and that not happening.

It’s deeply, deeply tiring at this point, and completely untethered from current political reality.

You have no substantive answers to any basic questioning of your overall worldview, maybe change the record and engage with some of those?

Starting from riches and remaining rich is not really successful though. Trump managed to bankrupt casinos multiple times and had to be bailed out by his father and others. Being able to put his name on buildings like hotels was also something out of his reach until Russians made it happen as a gift to him to coerce him.

Pretty much every business this guy touches goes to shit. All the great "deals" he makes are mostly just shady stuff on how people can bribe him to do stuff for them.

Dude is not smart, he's not business savvy, he has no class. He got rich on being bribed by various parties to do their bidding and all kinds of scams.

You also think Musk failed upwards. Who is a good, nice, virtuous successful billionaire businessman? Examples.

I have a hard time believing if Trump had as high a net worth as Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, rather than his measly failed single digit billions, that he'd have your respect for his business acumen. Just a hollow-ringing criticism.

“I can’t respond to the argument you made about Trump doing worse than passive investing but what I can do is come up with another argument that you didn’t make and then respond to that.”

It’s really not that hard to say “yeah, Trump’s many business ventures generally underperformed over the years, but business acumen isn’t why I simp for him”.

It’s not a cult though.

Now i do hope Trump gets a 3rd term because i think its the only way forward. Its going to be a long process.

Forward towards... what end? The destruction of our democracy? The discarding of our Constitution? The apocalypse?



that already happened when the american people let this tyrant create a GESTAPO...

gl with your Jesus lovin' pedo Emperator over there, sadly we've got one of his mascots ruling down here..

Looks like us anarchists were right all the time, is funny when you face reality unveil infront of your eyes, them right wing motherfuckers always supporting rich pedo motherfuckers and their non sensical system...

welp i guess is our fault for being a bunch of ignorant assholes that watch too much tv and let the bourgeois media control the narrative of whats really going on...
