Wealthy business leaders are turning on US President Donald Trump over his plan to impose a colossal set of tariffs on America’s trading partners, as losses mount on stock markets around the world.
Yeah, because of course they are. I mean, it’s not like they could have POSSIBLY known how bad the shitgibbon would shit the bed, right? RIGHT?!
Another data point (if you needed one) that republicans and billionaires only give a shit about something when it affects them personally.
Illegal deportations - not their problem
threats to journalists - not their problem
dehumanizing specific groups of people - not their problem
thousands of federal employees losing their jobs overnight - not their problem
defying constitutional amendments - not their problem
Fuck with their ability to hoard more money - Shit we need to do something!
Yeap.
Absolutely!
My enemy’s enemy is not necessarily my friend.
Very true, but it can certainly be cathartic to watch them snipe at each other.
Billionaires have always turned on Trump, slightly more than underage girls.
But his daughter turns him on the most.
I don’t think that’s what the headline meant.
False
Billionaires suddenly remember why they always backed the Democrats which kept trickling down the absolute bare minimum (even less actually) to the poors, instead of the Fascist which collapses the entire economy by sending everything to the rich.
First they came for social safety nets, and I helped them along, for that’s more money in my pocket
Then, they came for the minimum wage worker, and I helped them along, for that’s more money in my pocket
Then they came for the forests, trees and all natural things, and I helped them along, for that’s more money in my pocket
And when they finally came for the stocks and unregulated securities and offshore accounts, there was no one left to defend me
Right, of course they are. The problem is that this was always their strategy. Too many opportunities to make money and seize power, right? The chaos and lawlessness is good for that.
For example, SCOTUS threw out Chevron last year, so it’s harder to enforce environmental regulations. Easy money. The labor oversight committees, the pro-consumer committees, those have all been gutted. Easy money. Even if they’re rebuilt, that’s another chance to game the system.
Eat a dick, Bill.
Too little too late.

Doesn’t make up for the fact they are his people
Rare time I give billionaires credit.
Good, he needs to face some form of consequences
