Craig Fuller thought he was voting for business savvy, not economic shock therapy.
Does he know anything at all about the felon who has left a long trail of failed businesses and can bankrupt
a casinothree casinos? Trump is doing pretty much exactly what he said he’d do and any CEO that doesn’t know that deserves to be unemployed.Three casinos.
6 total bankruptcies.
Until now
now he has caused thousands of bankruptcies.
And he always proudly points out that he himself has never been personally bankrupt. Somehow, the fact that he always manages to bankrupt his investors instead of himself was seen as a good reason why America should become his next big investor.
I thought it was 5 casinos and a resort (with a casino on)…?
Edit:
Bankruptcies were…
1991: Trump Taj Mahal
1992: Trump Castle Hotel & Casino
1992: Trump Plaza Casino
1992: Trump Plaza Hotel (not a casino, just a hotel.)
2004: Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts
2009: Trump Entertainment Resorts (casino holding company. FFS, not only did he bankrupt casinos. Which is one of the most lucrative businesses out there, he also bankrupted a company that handles the casinos. How the fuck is that even -legally- possible to bankrupt a company that owns the most lucrative businesses!!!)There are numerous other businesses that also failed spectacularly. Plus there ‘businesses’ that were just scams, the university that never was.
Promises of extensive redevelopment that got ‘put on hold’ after his golf courses got built etc.And a football league
It’s all emotions. Facts don’t matter.
The funny thing is, this would say off some right wing people without them realizing the irony of getting mad at it.
At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.
Stock Market is Up.
That’s all these people care about. The US can become a country that only knows how to make weird AI advertisements and MLM scams, and so long as GDP goes up these people will think everything is fine.
The stock market is around the same level it was 6 months ago and still down from the beginning of his presidency
…voting for business savvy…
Did this guy sleep through Trump’s first term? Things are worse now than it was then but he messed things up the first time too.
The article explains the differences. In the first term tariffs were targeted and rolled out slowly. The person in the article expected the same in Trump’s second term.
The first term tariffs also caused reciprocal tariffs to be put in place that caused short term ($27B from mid 2018 to 2019) and long term damage to our agriculture industries by enabling other countries to develop their own industrial base to replace the US. Trump ended up bailing out US farmers with packages that equalled 92% of that the tariffs brought in.
I stand by my first statement. The farmer wasn’t paying attention to the first term.
People have very short memories.

This statement doesn’t need a slur to get the point across
Protecting the people who vote for a full resume of corruption, scams and being a convicted felon into presidnecy is way more important than pointing out their flaws in mental state.
The fact that you still think that word apply to people with real mental issues is problematic

I don’t think that sign means what you think it means.
What do you think it means?
I am absolutely certain there are nuances I have not considered.
Man helps throw gasoline on his own house that was set fire by arsonist who told everyone he was going to burn houses … the man who threw gasoline around is now heartbroken that his house is on fire.

It’s disheartening that no one in this comment section applied some critical reading skills and questioned this source.
Will you please explain?
The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don’t identify who funds them, and they don’t detail their sources.
They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This “feel good” bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them “alternative truth”. Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.
Trusting a fact checker completely is as bad. A simple search would have gave you the direct source https://x.com/FreightAlley/status/1913990382997643418
I live in SoCal and the truck traffic coming out of L.A. is substantially down. Before the felon’s tariffs truck traffic would be so dense it would take miles to get over to the right lane to exit the freeway. Now traffic’s way down to maybe 2/3 of what it was. The lack of container ships in West Coast ports has been well documented.
No matter what you think of the source, the big drop in freight traffic is real. CEOs of trucking companies should be seriously alarmed. Maybe even some Magats are questioning their choice in the last election.
Doesn’t anyone care about the poor CEOs anymore? Lol. Trump said he was going apply tariffs, which always reduce trade. He’s getting exactly what he voted for.
This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.
It is easier to destroy but hard to build…I hope they learned their lesson.
I doubt it. They will later have all kinds of apologists explaining how donvict just didn’t do his idiocy HARD enough. That’s assuming we even still have elections and the Republicans feel any need whatsoever to “explain” their cult leader’s actions.
But I watched these dipshits in the wake of Ronnie Raygun’s destruction, and no, they ain’t going to learn shit.
Yep this is “Trump’s Great Leap Forward” and we should start referring to it as such.
It’d be a banger if the average asshole in America wasn’t so stupid that they’d read that as a positive.
“In fact this will be the greatest leap forward. A big beautiful leap!” and the hateful morons will cheer as he says it.
We are going to eat tree barks
“They are eating the barks, they are eating the cat (food).”
I hope they learned their lesson.
Oh I’m sure the Chinese did, republicans however? …
The vast majority of them won’t learn anything. They are just looking to blame someone right now. Next election (if there is one) some dem will say something they hate, things will be better for them, and they are right back on the trump train.
Most of them are too far gone, in the cult, and listen to nothing but the propaganda. Any soft realization will quickly be forgotten when they are told how it’s the other sides fault b
Yep, they’ll just blame the Chinese, Europe and of course the Democrats.
Mao wanted people to smelt iron in their backyards, Trump wants people to raise chickens in their backyards.
Chickens are at least more likely to be useful. That is more of an accident than anything, seeing as Trump and Mao are just different shapes of crap.
Zero fucking sympathy and this is just the beginning of the US collapse. There will be plenty of used trucks and trailers.
“FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy.”
Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn’t be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.
If only someone with some level of responsibility at Freightwaves bothered to google “tariffs” before donating and voting for the Tupperware face.
