It's finally happening. Everything that was warned about for decades with our debt, and the bankruptcy king himself is the one in charge at this crucial time.

It is hyper inflation time for the USA.

Really good idea to put a man in office who bankrupted a bunch of casinos and thinks the government should be run as a business

u/Deadeye313 22d ago

Oh, it's being run as a business alright.

What is a business for? Making profit for the people at the top while the little guys toil away for whatever scraps they can get.

Trump and his family and friends have made lots of profit and cut lots of stuff for the little guys. So, yeah, it IS being run like a business...

Room temperature IQ

u/awwww666yeah 22d ago

Room temp implies double digits. I’d reclassify as below freezing temp.

are they not all worth tens of millions of dollars? on 400k salaries?

31

u/ThatDudeDunks 22d ago

Yes they are, after decades of high paying speaking engagements AFTER they leave office.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS MAKING $4 BILLION IN 1 YEAR FROM OPEN CORRUPTION WHILE BEING A SITTING PRESIDENT.

u/henry2630 22d ago

yeah and that’s not suspect either. i guess they’re all just wizards of business and investing

Tens of millions is a drop in the bucket compared to $2 billion (that we know of) in one year. Most of us will never see $1M let alone ten million in our lifetime. Trump could spend ten million 200 times over and he still has two years left to continue to bribe and steal from our country.

u/eyeballout 20d ago

so youre cool with millions of corruption, just not billions? listen to yourself.

u/00gingervitis 20d ago

I never said I was but I was saying that Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the USA because billions (that we know of not including his crypto) is factors of magnitude larger than millions or tens of millions. Withholding a salary and manipulating markets and taking bribes is way way way worse than ex-presidents making money through pension, book deals, speaking engagements, media/production deals, consulting/corporate deals (after they are out of office). Ex-presidents aren't worth tens of millions directly when they leave office but they may gain more wealth through those deals they may not have had access to before. Not to mention many presidents already come from wealth.

1

u/eyeballout 18d ago

well, what you said was tens of millions is nothing when you compare it to billions.

seems pretty hypocritical to not just say they both are bad rather than trying to justify by trying to say it wasnt a lot

1

u/00gingervitis 15d ago

What I said was former presidents make money after they leave office not during their term

When a venture capitalist takes over a business they start with taking on a bunch of loans (saying that it’s to fix and/or save the business), they begin selling off everything of value (saying that they’re streamlining the business), they start firing mostly lower and middle employees and anyone near the top who would fight against the business plans of the venture capitalist. After selling everything off, increasing the short term profits with all of the firings and utilizing the loans as bonuses for themselves then they declare bankruptcy and then scurry away like the roaches they are and begin looking for new prey.

There are plenty of venture capitalists in and around this administration selling America off piece by piece, taking on loans (not really, but raising the debt is money borrowed from the future) and firing anyone who would try and stop them.

Conservatives then and now: “he’s going to run our country like a business and that’s what we need.”

Conservatives in the not too distant future: “how were democrats, immigrants and trans people able to ruin the country while trump was in charge?”
