    Craig Fuller thought he was voting for business savvy, not economic shock therapy.

    Does he know anything at all about the felon who has left a long trail of failed businesses and can bankrupt a casino three casinos? Trump is doing pretty much exactly what he said he’d do and any CEO that doesn’t know that deserves to be unemployed.

        I thought it was 5 casinos and a resort (with a casino on)…?

        Edit:
        Bankruptcies were…
        1991: Trump Taj Mahal
        1992: Trump Castle Hotel & Casino
        1992: Trump Plaza Casino
        1992: Trump Plaza Hotel (not a casino, just a hotel.)
        2004: Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts
        2009: Trump Entertainment Resorts (casino holding company. FFS, not only did he bankrupt casinos. Which is one of the most lucrative businesses out there, he also bankrupted a company that handles the casinos. How the fuck is that even -legally- possible to bankrupt a company that owns the most lucrative businesses!!!)

        There are numerous other businesses that also failed spectacularly. Plus there ‘businesses’ that were just scams, the university that never was.
        Promises of extensive redevelopment that got ‘put on hold’ after his golf courses got built etc.

          These people absolutely need their noses rubbed in it. This is not a normal difference of opinion - they have led us to fascism over their temper tantrum, and need to pay for it.

    Stock Market is Up.

    That’s all these people care about. The US can become a country that only knows how to make weird AI advertisements and MLM scams, and so long as GDP goes up these people will think everything is fine.

    “But how could the Leopards eat MY face???” screamed the man who voted for the Leopards-Eating-People’s-Faces Party at the Leopards-Eating-People’s-Faces Party rally.

    Absolute fucking clowns.

      The funny thing is, this would say off some right wing people without them realizing the irony of getting mad at it.

      At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.

    The jobs of the future aren’t in the manufacturing. These are the jobs of the past.

    I don’t understand, why doesn’t he just “pull himself up by by his bootstraps” and work harder. That’s what they tell everyone else, right?

      That is a real shame. All these people are choosing to be poor. The real trick of this whole thing is you need to be independently wealthy for it to work for you. If only these folks understood that, they might choose differently.

    Heartbreaking? Nah. More like utterly infuriating that they were duped despite the prior term and decades of demonstrated corruption and incompetence.

    I’ve no sympathy at all.
