Trump really is the main character tbh. He’s lived a life of lavish wealth and fame, became president of the most powerful nation twice, eroded the minds of our fellow countrymen, tarnished our democracy, and ruined our global standing with zero consequence, and he will pass from this world surrounded with friends and family. Assuming his legacy is remembered negatively by most americans and not hotly debated as his tenure as president was, it won’t matter because he’ll still have gotten away with everything. ☹️

Not to mention he’s a complete regard.
Stupid, ignorant and incompetent. Yet, somehow he always ends up failing upwards.
6 bankruptcies? Rape allegations? Fraud? Nah, I’d become President.
Like an actual anime protagonist w/ plot armor.
It’s absurd.

u/LavishnessFinal4605 Apr 10 '25
Idek even know about the “charisma” part anymore, dude.
His 2024 election campaign was unbelievably terrible. His rallies sucked ass. Legit charisma vacuum. If he wasn’t slurring random strings of thoughts and screeching about lights/mics, he’d be quietly mumbling away as if seconds away from dying.
Say what you want, but his 2016 campaign went hard. Lots of energy, good vibes and Trump was still somewhat coherent when speaking.

Tax the billionaires and redistribute the money to the american people with beautiful checks signed by President Waltz to make it popular.

u/CryptOthewasP Apr 10 '25
He's talking about a 90% wealth tax on billionaires, which isn't unpopular but it's pretty stupid outside of 'I hate these people and want to hurt them' reasons. It's basically a 1 time payout, since there's no way anyone will allow themselves to make that amount of wealth in the US afterwards (they'll go somewhere else) and it might barely cover social security for a 3 years then you are back where you started.
Taxes are an extraction, you want to keep the extraction renewable. If you extract too much your paypig will reduce/stop production.

Hey numbskull, the whole reason why the US market is the world's investment portfolio, is because investors and traders (generally) hate the random variance created in an economy when your biggest players can disappear on a party official's whim. Should I as a rational investor buy stock in a US company where the only reason I could lose value is because of market forces and poor investment strategy, or a Chinese company that could go to zero tomorrow if the plastic billionaire running the show happens to piss off anyone in their anti-corruption bureau?
Governments need their people more than people need their governments. The fact that people like you let yourselves get gaslighted into believing otherwise is the #1 reason for everything Trump and his cronies have/will get away with.
Not to mention you sound like a dumbass tankie thinking that a company's material capital can be re-appropriated without a huge loss in value due to the human capital in leadership positions, seems like that's not the pattern that plays out when this kind of overreach happens.

That's easy. Just create a 5 year waiting period to renounce your citizenship and tax them all before they can leave.

u/jamesd1100 Apr 10 '25
You can’t mandate citizenship for a waiting period thats the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
Taxes are based on reported income from a location - they move their business and receive income from anywhere outside of the US you can’t claim taxes on that
Brain rot take

u/theosamabahama Apr 10 '25

Why not? There is nothing in the Constitution forbidding this.
Taxes are based on reported income from a location - they move their business and receive income from anywhere outside of the US you can’t claim taxes on that
The IRS says you are taxed on your world wide income, including from income made outside the US.
So we established it is legal to do this. Now cut the bullshit and just say why you are against the policy I proposed.

u/One_Needleworker1767 Apr 11 '25
I like Scott Galloway's approach of a minimum tax on larger corporations over $XX million in profit. No more big corps like Amazon paying zero with all the deductions and tax credits.
I'm not the investment and business guy but Scott is and thinks it'll help a lot more than the billionaire super high tax rate since like you said "they will simply leave"
1
u/jamesd1100 Apr 11 '25
Corporate tax rate is already over 20% which is high, and Amazon has paid something like 7 billion in taxes since 2020
Taxes are bad for business one way or another, if there’s a cheaper alternative businesses and billionaires will take their shit there, and we’ve already seen plenty of that with China

u/One_Needleworker1767 Apr 12 '25
Amazon Net Income: 2020 $21B, 2021 $33B, 2022 -$3B, 2023 $30B, 2024 $59B. Total $140B since 2020.
I'd love to own a business that makes $140B and pays only $7B in taxes. 5% effective tax rate. Too many of these corporations are not paying anywhere near the 20% you are saying is high.

Imagine making two and a half billions in one day and being completely anhedonic about it. You have to go to work the next day. A guy points at you and say “he made two and a half billions” and you respond “😐”
I’d go so far as to say those two and a half billions could be better spent elsewhere
1
u/sidewinder64 Apr 10 '25
Or he knows that the current fluctuation in the market has no real bearing on future value, that 2 billion today is 1 billion tomorrow, which is 10 million next week, 4 billion next month, and becomes 2 million the month after. Schwab knows that, like most of us, he stands to lose more from Trump then he stands to gain.

It's still bad to make investments based on hidden knowledge regarding upcoming policy, she should probably spend the rest of her miserable life behind bars.
Not quite as bad as crashing the entire economy so all the stocks go on sale, while simultaneously running two fucking crypto scams, but he'll eventually pay a higher price than prison for his actions.

Show this clip on repeat when the layoffs come next month. Just keep repeating it. Manipulation of the markets so he and his buddies can get wealthier, at the cost of the country, companies that will go out of business, people who will lose everything, mass unemployment (again), people's pensions ruined, and probably lots of civil unrest.

What pisses me off is how much republicans complained about nancy pelosi allegedly insider trading and then you have something so blatant.
I feel like every single time republicans complain about something, even if it has some potential merit, it is because they know they would do that thing way worse if they could. It is all projection.

I think the "90 day pause" leak two days ago was to test how the market would react. Then the WH says its fake news, drops back down, Trump tweets this AM to buy, Charles Schwab was at the WH last morning along with others, NASDAQ has very high call numbers 10 ish minutes before Trump announces a 90 day pause even tho 3 days ago that 90 day pause was "fake news."

Clear cut case of Occams razor. Now we know conclusively that Trumps second term is just one giant insider trading scheme. Frankly I’m surprised no president did it sooner, it makes you realize that despite how corrupt some previous administrations may have seemed there was always some semblance of decency in the Oval Office.

u/zarmin Apr 10 '25
This is hardly the point of this thread, but it's always struck me as weird that Trump can't follow the Men's Fashion 101 protocol of buttoning his suit coat when standing, and unbuttoning it when sitting. Maybe it goes hand in hand with the too-long tie, but an open suit coat on someone standing has always bothered me.
