“But he says he’d cut my taxes 5% so I’m giving him $100 million in dark money,” they continued.
The dumb ones will. The smart ones know that demagoguery and authoritarianism can impact trade and currency valuation, and investing in them is a great way to lose a lot of money.
It’s funny that you think there’s smart ones. Haha!
Don’t confuse intelligence with greed.
Trump is bad news for stability.
Yet, he will happily carve out ginormous advantages for his big backers. So they don’t give a shit if the castle falls as long as they can loot the treasury and get out first.
Not every billionaire thinks Trump is the best way to get richer. Many think he’s a good way to lose a lot of money.
Greed gonna greed. Some billionaires think Trump will make them money, others think the opposite.
But that’s in the future. I want that tax cut now!
I wish your faith in the oligarch class was justified.
Nope. The rich are greedy and I’m just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.

… the lion’s share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political givers—the top 100 families—have flowed to Republican candidates and groups.
In the “hard money” category—direct donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sums—Republicans took in 27 percent more from the Top 100 families than Democrats did ($85.9 million vs. $67.9 million).
But looking at all federal contributions, including “soft money,” a category that tallies the generous donations allowed to party committees and the unrestricted contributions to SuperPACs, Republicans raked in a whopping $508 million from the Top 100—triple the Democrats’ $169 million take.
Some of them care more about power than even their own quality of life
That is the real issue.
Can’t cut taxes if you don’t pay taxes to begin with. Does not compute.
Of course he will save the RICH a lot of money but the majority of working folks will pay dearly.
Don’t care what any CEO says or does.
Don’t sit this one out.

This was in contrast to Trump’s meeting earlier in the day with House Republicans on Capitol Hill. Attendees at that meeting told CNBC that the former president was animated and engaged and that Trump received several rounds of applause in separate meetings Thursday with both House and Senate Republicans.
It’s like North Korea in the GOP. If you aren’t clapping maniacally and openly sobbing in His Presence you will be primaried.
Also, sundowning
"“At one point, he discussed his plan to bring the corporate tax rate down from 21% to 20% … and was asked about why he had chosen 20%,” Sorkin said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “And he said, ‘Well, it’s a round number.’”
“That unto itself had a number of CEOs shaking their heads,” Sorkin reported."
This is hilarious.
“This is why we like him, and will drop millions in dark money.', they added.”
This article could have written in 2016 other than referring to the dumbass as being a former president.

Another day, another fascist account to block.
I’m going to make it my business in life to respond to every one of these “but Biden is worse” comments with something I wrote up that I call: I am voting for Biden and this is why you should too…
Trump’s energy in the meeting was also noticeably subdued, according to two people who were in the room. At no time during his remarks was there any noticeable applause for Trump, two attendees told CNBC.

Guess the Adderall wore off and they didn’t want to give him any more so near bed time.
The first meeting was with his Republican lickspittles so of course they’re going to call him engaged an animated and clap for his stupid ideas.
Not stopping them trying to put him back in Office though is it
I mean, that’s been the case for at least 20 years.
Yes, and/or duuuuuuuuuuhhhhh 🤦♂️
No shit?
So, same as 2020? And 2016?
Never did
This story keeps appearing again and again in various forms since 2016. Unfortunately, many people don’t care at all.
Par for the course.
