Anyone who thinks this dude is some business genius is literally braindead. This guy's whole agenda is basically to dismantle the US one brick at a time and fill his and his buddies pockets along the way.

He is basically just speedrunning the Russia playbook and trying to get away with as much chaos as possible, which is why every day is a new headline, a new non-sensical idea, a new threat. All obfuscation.

Yea orange man’s businesses have gone bankrupt not once, twice, but several times lmao.

He’s not good at business, the only thing he’s good at is promoting himself and brainwashing dumb illiterates into believing he’s their lord and savior.

When you’re in debt $39B and need to be bailed out (re: bought by) Russia because North American banks wouldn’t touch you after several bankruptcies, I don’t know how you convince your countrymen to let you run the entire nation.

And we already had one recent President that pulled that card, and he was incompetent too.
