Trump is destroying this country

[Weyoun]

These absurd tariff figures are made up - they have no bearing in reality, nor are they actually reciprocal.

He’s going to send the country into a deep recessions and perhaps the world also.

He’s mentally unfit, but unfortunately, the Republican the progress don’t have any sense and will not stop him. Speaker Johnson is a limp noodledick of a man.

It’s sad that we have to suffer due to this man’s stupidity, but maybe as a country, we forced ourselves into this. We have given a lot of bad people the motivation and ability to act badly.

Gee, maybe that's what happens when a psychopath who's gone bankrupt six times runs the country.

I also appreciate your honesty that you don't really understand things.

Trump has never gone bankrupt.

I’m sure you have some sort of way you can weasel out of this by stating that he did not personally do so, just the business that he was in charge of did so. But I’m not worried about him personally bankrupting himself - too many goobers like whitefailure are around to by his Chinese made Bibles. I’m worried he may fuck the country up like he fucked up multiple businesses.

I concede that Trump has personally not filed for bankruptcy. But since six of his businesses have, I’m not really sure why it matters.

[Bob Juch]

Donald Trump personally has never filed for bankruptcy.

However, six of his businesses (as of the most widely cited count) have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. These filings were strategic restructurings of debt—not personal bankruptcy—and allowed the businesses to continue operating while repaying creditors under new terms.

Here are some of the notable ones:

Trump Taj Mahal (1991)

Trump Castle (now Golden Nugget Atlantic City) (1992)

Trump Plaza Hotel (1992)

Plaza Hotel in NYC (1992)

Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004)

Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009)

Biomilq:
A breast milk startup, also backed by Bill Gates, filed for bankruptcy in 2025

Henry Ford filed twice
Detroit Automobile Company (1899-1901):
In 1899, Ford, along with others, founded the Detroit Automobile Company, but the company struggled financially and only produced 20 vehicles. The company went bankrupt in 1901.
Henry Ford Company (1901):
After the Detroit Automobile Company's bankruptcy, Ford attempted to relaunch his company under the name "Henry Ford Company". However, he again faced financial difficulties, and the company ultimately went bankrupt.

Michael Dell twice
Noble Environmental Power LLC Bankruptcy:
In 2016, Noble Environmental Power LLC, a wind-energy company backed by Michael Dell, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. MarketWatch reported that the company was restructuring its debt.

Your point? Other than Trump is a ...is a ... he's Trump!

The Trump Organization is an American conglomerate. Privately owned by Donald Trump, it serves as the holding company for most of Trump's business ventures and investments, with around 250 of its affiliates and subsidiaries using the Trump name.

Only 6 of more than 250 business.....I'm not sure why it matters. Other than he's Trump.

[Beebs52]

Gee there is that...

[Weyoun]

Yes, comparing him to Henry Ford.

That’s the thing. Trump goes bankrupt with casinos and bicycle races, and cheap airlines.

Ford revolutionized an industry. Bill Gates revolutionized an industry.

It’s very true that if Trump has taken his inheritance and put it in the S&P 500, he would’ve had much more money today.

But he’s not an ideas man. He’s not a job creator. He’s basically a con man who tries to make money off real estate deals, and various scams, and sometimes it doesn’t work out.

One problem with his approach lately is that he actually doesn’t know how a business runs. He doesn’t understand supply chain, and things like that. So of course he would be confused by all this, assuming he’s just not manipulating the market so that his various entities (Truth Social there is something only worth anything because he is attached to it) can get pumped and then dumped.

Agreed. Comparing Trump to a pro Nazi businessman is not quite the flex that BiT thinks it is.

[BackInTex]

One problem with his approach lately is that he actually doesn’t know how a business runs. He doesn’t understand supply chain, and things like that.

Really? Where do you make that assessment? From your personal knowledge of runnning a business, or knowledge of supply chain? Or just from your media sources? Bernie?

[BackInTex]

I wouldn't vote for them as President, either!

Yes, so let's look had who you would vote for....
Bernie? Because socialism is your economic model of choice?
Kamala? Because of her vast experience running....what?
Biden 2020? Who, now even Jake Tapper admits he was covering for his senility?

Yep, winners, each of them. You are making great choices for running, er, ruining the country.

What he actually does for business. He’s always been a real estate guy, before going into self-promotion. And when he does need to sell something, he gets it cheap, from China or Bangladesh. Go figure.

Oh, I get it. Real Estate is not business....to you. That explains a lot about your understanding of economics.

Never said that. I said it’s a particular line of business, but it’s also more resistant to things like tariffs. But even that will have problems once you make raw materials, more expensive, and put every brown looking person in a Salvadoran prison without due process

[flockofseagulls104]

These absurd tariff figures are made up - they have no bearing in reality, nor are they actually reciprocal.

He’s going to send the country into a deep recessions and perhaps the world also.

He’s mentally unfit, but unfortunately, the Republican the progress don’t have any sense and will not stop him. Speaker Johnson is a limp noodledick of a man.

It’s sad that we have to suffer due to this man’s stupidity, but maybe as a country, we forced ourselves into this. We have given a lot of bad people the motivation and ability to act badly.

Don't think so.

People like you are trying your best to destroy this country. But you are not succeeding and it's making you more and more desperate and unhinged.

This from the guy who keeps obsessing on an election that wasn’t stolen, and never can find proof for his fanatical beliefs? Who would shred the constitution to get his stupid beliefs forced upon everyone? No, sir, I think I am quite hinged.

Um, I have produced and referenced volumes of evidence that the 2020 election results were questionable at the very least. You have no evidence other than pronouncements from conflicted public officials.

I do not think that our SOS has been lying to the people of our state. I KNOW IT WITHOUT ANY DOUBT.

You know nothing, ifonly.

US federal court blocks Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs

This is a high-level court that focuses on international trade, so their opinion carries great weight. I’m sure Trump will appeal to the Supreme Court, which ruled against executive overreach beyond what Congress authorized many times in the Biden years, notably student loan forgiveness.

Before this, Financial Times journalist Robert Armstrong coined an acronym for Trump’s tariff strategy: TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out). Trump countered that raising tariffs and then lowering them in exchange for concessions is skillful bargaining. Still, the meme got under his skin.
