    Yeah, he doesn't try to hide it at all. In fact, he's laughing about it so openly and brazenly that it's almost like they're laughing about how hysterical Trump fans have been about trying to claim it's undemocratic and their plan all along and Biden was a patsy, just because it reduced Trump's election chances.

    Sorry, but they're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you.

    It is possible for stupid people to fail upwards, just look at Liz Truss.

    Trump really has had 600 businesses?

    Is there a list ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 504 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    Which is why 2 people tried to kill him

    Try to keep up with facts



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 504 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    So you dont have a success rate %?

    So how do you determine he is good or bad at business when you dont know his success rate?

    Probably.

    Here is ChatGPT answering. They say over 500. I said 600.

    It's challenging to give an exact total number of businesses and properties owned or previously owned by Donald Trump due to the complexity and evolution of his business empire. However, here’s a rough breakdown:

    1. Trump Organization (umbrella entity for many businesses)
    2. Trump Tower (New York City)
    3. Trump International Hotel and Tower (various locations)
    4. Trump National Doral Miami
    5. Trump National Golf Club (several locations)
    6. Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City, now closed)
    7. Trump Taj Mahal (Atlantic City, now closed)
    8. Trump Marina (Atlantic City, sold and rebranded)
    9. Trump Entertainment Resorts (formerly managing Atlantic City casinos)
    10. Trump Winery (Virginia)
    11. Trump Golf Links (various locations)

    This list includes several key entities and properties, but the total number of distinct businesses and properties, including smaller or less well-known ventures, could be higher. Estimates suggest that the Trump Organization has managed over 500 different properties and investments in its history.



    Even if you take 500. What is his success/failure rate?

    People spouting nonsense in here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,686 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    You made the claim that he's 600 business, back that claim up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    In relation to saying you saw something on YouTube and Twitter and using that as proof. That's pretty inadequate. So you've been claiming illegal immigrants are stealing pets and eating them. Should be easy to provide news articles on the spate of such killings. Shouldn't be just based on a weird ass video you found on Twitter. And given the fact you've outright lied on this thread more than once, I'm inclined to say your sources are questionable.

    I think your priorities are pretty warped tbh. Have the FBI or law enforcement said that the Democratic party's rhetoric is responsible for the actions of either Crooks or Routh? So it's more like speculative fiction to jump to the conclusion you want.

    ChatGPT is a large language model, not a verifiable source. Do better



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭ronjo

    Also they seem to have forgotten that he's been caught and lost his case in relation to fraud in the last year…



  • Subscribers Posts: 41,818 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    the argument is Trump is not stupid.

    he patently is.

    try to keep up at the back please…..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,878 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    Well, we've gone from democrat to "mostly" a democrat (what % are you going to dig this up towards?). He voted for trump then stopped voting for trump after putin cuckolded trump. I wouldn't call that a democrat, more like an anti-trumper.

    Keep going with the pets, it gets more ludicrous the more trumpers engage on it :)

    Im not an anti vaxxer. But I also dont think the biden admin were right to tell public sector to jab up or get a new job.

    So, trumps disinfectant jabs instead?

    You need a lot of shell corps to hide the laundry…

    It was worked out a couple of years ago that had Trump simply put the $400m+ that he got from his father into a fairly standard index linked unit fund, he would have about 3 to 4 times as much money as he does today.

    So essentially , his business acumen has delivered somewhere between -60% and -75% net returns over the last 40 years or so.

    In Real Estate , not high tech etc. , Real Estate the most reliable long term investment there is.

    Another tweet dump.

    MAGA kept moaning about Biden being unfit for office and now they're wailing because they wish he was back.

    I didn't think you needed that level of spoonfeeding.

    Since you've no proof for your conspiracy theories, let's call it a day.

    The most telling part is that a lot of the discomfort that @MisterAnarchy and @Redliketoast have with Harris is the fact that they know she has a strong chance of beating him. If Trump loses in November, I expect them to push further claims of it being undemocratic in spite of the fact she's the preferred pick by the public.

    Also they would absolutely downplay any violence by Trump supporters etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,290 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    Im well aware of the issue which is why i find his attempt to explain it and his fantastical solution so hilarious

    Seen on Twitter…

    Pretty sure at this point JD Vance and Trump have directly caused more issues for the citizens of Springfield than any immigrant has.

    JD Vance just financially devastated a town in the state he represents...Imagine what he and Trump will do to our country. Please pass this on.

    A reminder that the race baiting and inciting racial hated with madeup racist vomit about pets being eaten has real world consequences, no matter what Jesuitical defences are mounted:

    The city of Springfield, Ohio, is stepping up security as viral, false claims about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets continue to circulate after being amplified by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday afternoon he was sending three dozen state troopers to provide added security to schools in the city after a "series of unfounded bomb threats."

    Remember folks.

    A Republican who had voted for Trump, using a weapon Democrats want to ban, tried to shoot Trump but something something it is the fault of Democrats.

    Another day, another piece of fascist racism from a Trump supporter.
    But maybe some people here think calling immigrants locusts like this should be ok.

    Republican Portage County, Ohio Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski posted an alarming message on Facebook over the weekend, calling on constituents to identify the homes of Kamala Harris supporters by lawn signs so they can be made to house immigrants, whom he called "locusts."

    Trump criticized Musk over his now deleted tweet about Harris and Biden being shot being followed up by a member of the Libertarian Party, New Hampshire, named as Jeremy Kauffman, tweeting that anyone shooting Harris would be an American Hero shows there is a very important need for Trump to state publicly that assassinating US politicians is a crime and not the act of a hero.

    The Kauffman tweet was deleted. The FBI visited Kauffman to interview him about his "assassination" tweet statement. According to different media sources there have been conflicting statements issued by the Libertarian Party on the tweet. The Washing Examiner that the party has walked back on the tweet and the New Republic that the party has doubled down on the tweet.

    What's needed now is a press call from all four candidates to condemn such messages completely with an added request from the 4 that any such assassination tweets be reported to the FBI, ASAP.

    The way you lot are downplaying actual assassination attempts. Where is the violence being directed again?
