    “we need someone to run the government like a business” “lets pick this guy with 40 bankruptcies” my guy even if the premise wasn’t idiotic what did you think would happen

      And countries can totally do the same. Argentina was bankrupt at least twice, Venezuela has defaulted on bonds, Greece was restructured. And I’m pretty sure there are others.

      Don’t you understand, an actual person (him) is experiencing consequences! He’s said all the right words and hated the correct kind of human, this should not be happening to him!

        The real test is whether he’s gonna become a leftist or not. Reminder, Right-Wingers are solipsistic & only care when they’re personally affected.

          Not gonna happen… he is still doing mental gymnastics to justify Dear Leader’s decisions “I know his goal is to even our trade deficit…”

          Trump could dump gasoline on a burning house and they would say, “he was just trying to put out the fire, gasoline is a liquid like water after all”

    It’s a bittersweet feeling to see their true colors come to the surface from what was always festering under the guise of “traditional values” and “conservative fiscal policies”. To refer to our country as a “company”…well that truly frames the photo exactly for how it is and how it’s been run… at everyone else’s expense for the benefit of very few. Surprise! May not like it so much now that it’s affecting sweet little ol’ you.

    Notice how even when potentially becoming self aware they still say it’s having a negative effect on “conservative Canadians” as if they’re the only demographic that would be pissed about a hostile foreign power threatening to take their sovereignty.

    This person is rich enough to own stocks. It’s good that they’re feeling some negative effects of what they voted for, but calling a 15 % dip in their portfolio “suffering” is kind of devaluing the actual human suffering that Trump’s policies are causing.

      Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.

        Millionaire is a pretty low bar these days, a salary worker reaching retirement age probably has a million dollar net worth.

          A million dollar net worth is barely enough to be comfortable in retirement in the U.S. You can pull $2500/mo from your investments, don’t forget about health care and the cost of dying. You’re also one medical claim denial away from bankruptcy.

    Even if Biden had been as “out to lunch” as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

    We’re instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

    These aren’t even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.
