#Trump’s business to politics

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

They didn’t even wait until the 19th to ban TikTok. Honestly I hope people realize how big this situation is. TikTok was a news outlet for a lot of Americans who couldn’t get proper news and information (especially when their own news stations are just propaganda and fake news we don’t need to hear), it was also a home to many small businesses and people just trying to make a living. The US government is NOT banning it because of “data” or whatever shit they made up—they are banning it to control the masses and more than just that. This is bullshit.

How Trump Killed Every Business He Touched

Trump’s entire candidacy is based on a lie.

TRUMP: I’m really a good businessman. I’m so good at business.

Not true. Trump is a business failure. Almost every business he’s touched, he’s driven into the ground.

RUBIO: You ever heard of Trump Steaks?

TRUMP: Trump Steaks are the greatest steaks, and I mean that in every sense of the word!

RUBIO: You ever heard of Trump Vodka?

TRUMP: It’s a smooth vodka. It’s a great-tasting vodka.

RUBIO: All of these companies that he’s ruined!

It’s true! Trump had a failed board game…

TRUMP: My new game is Trump the Game.

…a failed bicycle race called the “Tour de Trump”…

TRUMP: I think this is an event that can be tremendous in the future. And it can really rival the Tour de France.

…a failed football team.

TRUMP: It’s gonna stay strong. It’s gonna stay strong for a long time.

Trump decided it was a good idea to start a mortgage company in 2006.

TRUMP: It’s a great time to start a mortgage company.

That failed in less than two years. Let’s see, what else was there?

JOHN OLIVER: Trump Magazine, which folded, Trump World Magazine, which also folded…

ROMNEY: Whatever happened to Trump Airlines?

Oh! That was a good one! One of his planes had a crash landing within the first two months, which he insisted was “the most beautiful landing you’ve ever seen.” The business failed within three years.

Trump has even managed to bankrupt multiple casinos. How do you lose money running a casino?

There’s an old joke that the easiest way to make a small fortune is to start with a large one. And that’s exactly what Trump did. Multiple analyses show that if Trump had simply invested his multi-million-dollar inheritance in an index fund and didn’t touch it, he’d be a lot richer than he is now. Think about that. His entire life’s work has been less successful than if he’d done nothing.

And when he was president, Trump ran the country like he ran his failed businesses. He added $8.4 trillion to the national debt — largely through his tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.

Trump has managed to survive every one of his business failures by leaving other people on the hook — leaving workers unpaid and shafting his investors.

The whole idea that Trump is good at business was a carefully-crafted illusion — concocted for a reality TV show. And like a lot of reality TV shows, we’ve come to learn it was all show, and no reality.

The only business Trump has been successful at is conning people. Now he’s trying to do it again. Don’t fall for it.

Really I think nothing shouts "my first Presidential election as a politically active person was 2016" more than the fact that when I feel hope and excitement for the future (possible President Harris) for more than five minutes I immediately get a crushing, all-consuming anxiety of "feeling this positive emotion now is going to make it so much worse when the worst thing possible happens" to the extent that I'll probably need my break-glass-in-case-of-emergency anxiety medication.

The U.S. economy is so strong, it lifts the World!

Thank You President Biden.

Fox Business says the average price of a dozen eggs could be nearly $5 by the end of the year, which would be the highest-ever recorded average price. Turns out surrendering our human rights does not lower the price of breakfast after all.

no way in hell i'm redownloading tiktok after all of this. the way they praised trump in their little notifications, the way they never actually had to shut down, the way trump is trying to play the savior and acting like he wasn't the one pushing for it to be banned in the first place, the way he's insisting that the solution is for the united states to have 50% ownership of the app.

it's gross, it's foreboding, it's suspicious, and it's frankly not something i want to be a part of.

hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...

The fact that Kamala brought up Hannibal first had me cackling!! 🤣🔪🍽🍷

Nobody wants to admit that Palestinians had nothing to with the Holocaust.

It was purely a white European thing.

But the Palestinians had nothing to with it.

Trump was so brave for ending gender inequality by making everyone AFAC (Assigned Female at Conception). Truly inspirational, what a revolutionary king.

We knew it was coming like we warned but only after a WEEK? This goes into effect 5 o clock this evening.

And the fact that it’s undetermined how long this will last along with immigrants not coming into work because they don’t want to deal with ICE terrorists, PEOPLE WILL GO HUNGRY.

And the kicker? Not only did Shitbreak admit he has no idea how to lower grocery prices, he also admitted that he doesn’t care;

And Peter Thiel’s bitch also admitted they have no real plans to lower grocery prices:

What I’m about to say is probably going to be the most controversial thing I’ve said on my blog in the TEN YEARS I’ve had this blog.

I feel the left and the right are going to have to come together to defeat these oligarchs.

Why? Shitbreak has made two “jokes” in the last week about having a third term.

Even IF there is no voter election fraud he will NOT leave peacefully in four years. He’s most likely going to try and make America into a monarchy where his fucked up children will take over after his old ass growls. (Also keep in mind that his evil parents lived until their 90s).

And I know some of you may think I’m crazy for suggesting this but I’m thinking of the bigger picture. Do you really want to let these Christofascists destroy our way of life and live in a Theocracy?

Also….there are innocent children (even of MAGAs) that are going to be affected and even starve while the billionaires literally eat at our expense so Nazi salute boy can become a trillionaire. Not to mention all of the students in school that will now NOT be able to afford to go to college because how many people can pay OUT OF POCKET for school?

When peaceful protests fail what do we have left?

Like, I genuinely don't get it. Cause even if I didn't know jack goddamn shit about being marginalized. I think I could still just step back. I don't know jack shit about the trans experience other than that's that person's journey. And why the fuck is that anyone else's business?

People have the right to exist.
