Do you think if he kneels down and kisses trump feet he would be okay? I’m so worried damn…
You needn't look further than 'Conservative Environmentalist'. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.

I've known a few of those. "Environmentalism" to them only goes as far as making sure they have some fields around them stocked with deer and pheasant to hunt, and maybe a lake they can tool around in their bass boat.

Like is he just ignoring the “Drill baby drill” shit? Or the fact that in his first term Trump reduced the size of national parks for the sake of oil operations?
He's a trump voter.
All you need to know.

Well well well. Is he "hurting the wrong people" again? who would've thunk
He's not even hurting them. They're still up for the year. They're historically up for the last ten years, in the face of enormous economic headwinds.
Trump stepped in, the market surged, and now its floated back down to December 2024 baseline.
And these losers are screaming like stick pigs because Big Line doesn't always go up forever.
Oh, but there IS a national bankruptcy filing, little brainless Timmy.
You're not going to like that at all.
What I love is how many of them talk about, "he's just trolling," and it's like, even if he was, is that seriously what you want in a president? Now it's, "even if he is just trolling, this is a bad idea," as if there's ever a time that the fucking president treating international relations like a shitpost would be a good idea. These people are so, so stupid.
They don’t understand that when you have the kind of power he has “trolling” is terrorism.
I am guessing a lot of them will blame this on Biden, citing the normal truth that presidents usually don't make immediately apparent noticeable impacts on the economy. It normally takes months or years for most policy to make a big difference. In this case, the tariffs are so stupid on their face that no honest person could deny they would have drastic effects. Compare stock market graphs to the timeline of trump announcements... but they will deny it and pretend this is business as usual, and because it's only a month in, it's obviously Biden. Nevermind that they would never normally believe that shit if it's inconvenient to their case.
That dude is so lost. ::shakes head::
Lol what morons. They deserved to be fleeced for all they're worth - they're still goddamn idiotic enough to believe Trump is a business man or that he doesn't explicitly want the "company" tanked.
Talked to my MAGA blood again yesterday. Apparently, the conservative talk radio is telling listeners Europe and Canada have had tariffs on us from day one and trump is just trying to level the playing field. America is always paying for them and now it’s their turn to pay.
In addition, firings are “political reward” jobs being removed, because that’s not fair. (Injustice and not fair resonates with everyone.) And a caller apparently called in to talk about his government employee buddy upset that his job credit card he normally uses to buy lunch was cut off, discovered when he tried to buy subway. Again with the “not fair” because most jobs don’t buy you lunch.
They still haven’t told me what show they heard this is on, because I invariably listen and pick it apart and they find my “over-analysis” upsetting.
I mentioned this to a relative that a federal job has lost all security compared to a equivalent private sector position. They said "well no job ever has security". Private sectors only goal is make money for the boss - the other provides essential public services and maintains infrastructure. They are not the same
Exactly. And part of that infrastructure is the same person filing the paperwork, making sure it’s done right.

I keep seeing this sentiment expressed over and over again and it seems that a large cross-section of the public still doesn't get it. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, of all places, but it bears repeating:
Trump is not a "businessman." Trump is a con man.
He has never actually run a successful business and he doesn't know how. The only thing he does know how to do is run a grift to bilk investors, creditors, the government, HUD, etc. out of money for projects that he really has no intention of completing or to prop up businesses he has no intention of sustaining. He is incessantly robbing Peter to pay Paul just long enough in the hopes of keeping his creditors or the prosecution at bay -- not always successfully, I might add, because his businesses have been bankrupted four times including the infamous three casinos.
The issue now is that since he's oozed his way into government he is shielded from having the hammer brought down on him by many of the people he's cheated.
He's a TV businessman as in he's as much a business man as any actor. Conservatives seem to repeatedly make the mistake that actors actually do the things for real
"business" man. He is in the business of crime & destruction. Everything he touches, dies. He is killing it right now.

"my investments" -TSLA bagholder
He is acting like a business man: fucking over everyone else for his own interest.
May they lose every dime. May they only know the taste of day old bread and stagnant water for the rest of time. May they shiver in the night and boil in the day. May the rain soak them to the bone, and may the snow freeze their skin. No love, no shelter, no aid.
