  1. Since being inaugurated, trump has:

    * crashed the economy: egg prices are still rather high.
    * laid off something like 60,000 government workers and been responsible for the largest monthly job loss since june 2020
    * erased all gains in the stock market for this year
    * deleted 27% of elon musk’s wealth (ha!)
    * **alienated all our traditional allies**
    * **severely weakened the trust in american treaties**
    * **potentially drove a stake through the heart of the pax america**
    * **sided with russia, china,** ***north fucking korea***, **and hungary in the fucking UN**
    * notably DID NOT end the ukraine war in one day
    * notably did NOT get the rest of the hamas hostages back, be it americans or israeli
    * made measles great again

    So much winning i don’t know what to do!

  2. I don’t trust what was said from the time Mandarin Man starts a sentence to the point where he ends it.

  3. Problem is you fully trusted what he said yesterday even though the day before that he was also lying.

    This is why nepobabies shouldn’t become CEOs, no real talent for business, just spending money.

  6. I wonder what he will be selling on the White House lawn today.

  7. I didn’t know all our CEOs just came out of 8 year comas…

  9. Honestly- they’re just realizing this now???!!?? What kind of sedative are you on?

  10. Further evidence that CEO’s aren’t necessarily there because of how intelligent and thoughtful they are.

    They’re only losing faith in how much money they can siphon away from people, maybe.

  11. I thought his first term would’ve been reason to lose faith.

  15. Hey, welcome back to reality. This is a revelation to you guys? Where the hell have you been these past 10 years?

  16. They were massively played—can they admit that?. Trump had no plans beyond “stay out of jail.” He was happy to outsource actual governance to the Heritage Foundation and whoever else might stroke him a check. Apparently none of these incredibly wise incredibly rich AHs had a single staffer they could devote to reading P25 or the platform doc’s because any fool could see those plans to radically reverse social progress would massively upend the economy. And it’s not like they didn’t know this guy— his abysmal ignorance about basically everything and refusal to admit any error …. What did they think would happen without a John Kelly or Gen. Milley to say no? Without a single qualified cabinet official (with the possible exception of Rubio)? They sold us out for tax cuts now reap the effing whirlwind, suckas!!!!

  17. How did any of these assholes ever have faith in him in the first place? His behavior hasn’t changed in forty years. He’s been nothing but a lying grifter his entire career.

  18. ‘I don’t trust that what’s said today will be true tomorrow’

    Welcome to the party, Nostradamus, people have been saying that about him for years now. 

  19. Trump is a pathological liar, it’s right there out in the open folks.

  21. Losing faith, you say. Starting to wonder, you say. Kind of like starting to put on the brakes when you’ve already shot through the intersection on a red light.

  22. Their first mistake was trusting him in the first place, I’m sure they have eyes and a brain.

  23. if any of them can say this with a straight face after most people realized this guy was a total conman since the 80s are not qualified to be CEOs of anything.

  25. It’s really hard for me to understand how anybody ever trusted anything trump says. He’s the most prolific liar I’m aware of.
