In all fairness to Trump, he didn't file bankruptcy because he was bad at business (he is), he filed bankruptcy to legally avoid paying back loans and debts owed, because he is a thief.

It's a common practice for rich people of that sort. Private equity and venture capital companies do it also. The list of businesses that PE /VC companies have bought with the intention of driving them into bankruptcy and bleeding the corpse dry is staggering.Ā

u/Pantim 3d ago
Ywap.
And he isn't the only one. All sorts of rich people are doing it. It's really obvious when you start looking at what's going on with internal corporations. They are pulling out of the US and Europe in favor of other countries that haven't been as developed / had the population that could buy their goods until now. . . And that don't have as good of labor laws.Ā
Ergo, Africa, China etc etc etc.
The plan probably is to basically let the US lay fallow. . Ergo , degrade to a less developed /less regulated country where wages and regulations go down . The infrastructure breaks down etc etc and then the rich will sweep in and "rescue" the country.Ā Ā

What are the funny things about the brainwashed TDS comments you see in every political comment section is that the people who make them usually bring up Obama, Hillary,, or Biden as some sort of defense of whatever they are blindly defending Trump for. They also whined about Biden every day of his time and office and invented reasons to when they didnāt have any. Maga is the most hypocritical group of people Iāve ever seen.

Endless excuses for Trump and Republicans. Endless criticism and scrutiny to Biden and Democrats.
They'll take something that Biden or Obama did that was controversial or maybe not well liked / had some drawbacks, etc. And go SEEE SEE SEE SO YOUR GUY JUST AS BAD!!
I also love the final line of defense they have to protect their soft, snowflake egos and sensibilities: "Okay, I don't agree with everything the guy does, I'm not like thaaat". They all say this after you bring up the numerous character flaws, ethics flaws, morals flaws, policy flaws, business practice flaws, undermining the constitution, undermining the law, the list goes on...just hand waved away constantly with "Yeah, I don't worship the guy and I'll be the first to say he has flaws, buuutttt....[insert delusion]".

Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been, arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.ā - Oliver Kornetzke

Trump is a stupid and evil man.
Let's not let him off the hook by presenting his wealth-building choices as the "problem". He's richer than ever before. His ability to acquire money is NOT the problem.
No MAGA supporter can take this post seriously. This is dumber than they are.
He's a pathological liar, a rapist, Epstein friend, draft dodger, "I don't like POW's" military disrespecting narcissist, warmonger, does trade wars just for his own ego, skyrocketed America's debt with tax breaks for billionaires just to give Elon a trillionaire status, slashed funding for food stamps, slashed wind and solar projects so China can get ahead of America on energy independence, promoted Coal so American children can breathe in mercury from the air, destroyed relations with every allied nation, handicapped Ukraine so the war there has now lasted longer than WW1 and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, making Trump partially responsible for the greatest waste of lives this century, ended USAID which will see millions of children die of Malaria and Polio and other diseases that will migrate to America, handicapped Vaccine guidance so Measles and Polio can come back in America, pardoned coup convictions for political allegiance, pardoned fraudsters in return for bribes.
The list of crimes and stupidities and atrocities is longer than this. "bankruptcies" of a few business ventures? Seriously? This post is what makes MAGA sleep well at night because it's so soft and weak.
