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?!
Are they really, though? Or are they just reading the room and pretending to give a shit while buying the dip so they won’t get Luigi’d?
Well, a group backed by Leonard Leo and the Koch brothers sued Trump because of tariffs. I’d say that’s giving a bit of a shit.
These goons run companies who are notorious for only caring about this quarter’s profits. If they see profits drop because of bullshit tariffs, that’s going to hurt them today. And any benefits, if they ever appear, will take years to show up, so they’re not worth supporting.
Sounds like these dummy CEOs don’t realize that losing money costs you nothing maybe they need to go read Art of the Deal and find out how a real man runs (and subsequently destroys) businesses!
Millionaires and private equity are going to clean up. Most billionaires are cash poor and are losing big. Traders like Buffet can liquidate, but owners like Musk and Bezos can’t just sell off all ownership.
Buffet liquidated months ago. He’s been sitting on a pile of cash waiting for “value” (meaning a crash)
Exactly. Most traders do when a Republican takes office.
Not as smart as they think they are. Only way to be sure is to not be a billionaire anymore.
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

They’re jealous because only one billionaire got to penetrate the holy inner Trump circle, like a sick South African sperm crossing into the diseased MAGA ovum, to fuck with federal regulators and help his own businesses.
That will give birth to a deformed monster that will probably be a still birth
That’s what he tried to do.
Also, he’s not done for yet: the vast majority of Musk’s business is government contracts. SpaceX in particular benefits greatly from the Musk corruption. It’s only Tesla that’s suffering (slightly) and it’s not the company Musk has the most shares in.

And how well did he do helping his own businesses? Lol
Only the dumbest of fucks are worthy of His blessings
This is not about Musk, Musk is not fond of the tariffs either. All of Trump’s stupid economic ideas are Peter Navarro’s doing
This is 200% about Musk. He backed the orange utan and now he’s having a leopard-eating face time. Well cry me a fucking river…
Just because Musk is hurting too doesn’t exonerate him from blame. He created this situation he’s so unhappy about now.
It is completely fine for you or the general public to make this about Musk’s leopard-eating face time. I agree with you on that.
All I’m saying is that the reason these billionaires dislike tariffs has nothing to do with Musk, they have a very real different reason for that.
Eat a dick, Bill.
Greed is one hell of a drug.

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!
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.
I think this is fake news.
They’re all millionaires now.
Billionaires actually need to fucking go. My whole life there has been this hypothetical question of “what if billionaires actually used their money for good” along with this quiet acceptance by society that it’ll never actually happen.
But now, as it turns out, not only are they doing nothing good for the world with their wealth but they actually actively use their wealth to buy up all the news organisations, push misinformation, prop up right wingers and inflict misery onto everyone.
I think it’s great that they’re starting to turn on the orange painted clown with the comically large tie but that’s not because of his desire to hurt everyone that isn’t a white cis male and push hate, nope, that’s exactly what these fucking cunts wanted. It’s just that he’s a bit more fucking stupid than they bargained for now and now they’re numbers are going down. How awful for them.
Fuck them. I hope that there’s nothing but guillotines and rope in their futures.
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
Too little too late.

At the billionaires lair…“Hey guys! Let’s release a presser saying how we don’t like Trump!” Everyone starts laughing and saying things like “Ooohh! Those righty’s and lefty’s heads will explode!”.
