    I fear too many people falsely believe that voting for Trump will somehow improve the economy for some reason. They believe that the freedoms we will lose and the marginalized groups that will suffer is just a fair trade in exchange for having a slightly easier time being gainfully employed. This won’t be the case for anyone that’s not a neurotypical straight white christian male but most of them won’t realize this until it’s too late.

      Yeah the perception that he’s somehow a brilliant money person is a sticky one.

      His financial acumen couldn’t hold a candle to the brilliance of even an average economics graduate.

      He has his name on some things but it seems like a lot of fraud, embezzlement, and borrowed money covered over with the thinnest veneer of “success”.

        Apparently if he had taken the money his daddy gave him, and left it alone he would be considerably richer than he is, and still would have been able to buy whatever he wanted, other than giant towers that consistently depreciated in value.

      LOL the only ‘employment’ they might see is picking over the bodies of dead and dying as the entire country is destroyed.
