May they lose every dime. May they only know the taste of day old bread and stagnant water for the rest of time. May they shiver in the night and boil in the day. May the rain soak them to the bone, and may the snow freeze their skin. No love, no shelter, no aid.
"filing for bankruptcy" is exactly Trump's plan for the nation, except instead o bankruptcy it'll be martial law
He's a TV businessman as in he's as much a business man as any actor. Conservatives seem to repeatedly make the mistake that actors actually do the things for real
It’s a bittersweet feeling to see their true colors come to the surface from what was always festering under the guise of “traditional values” and “conservative fiscal policies”. To refer to our country as a “company”…well that truly frames the photo exactly for how it is and how it’s been run… at everyone else’s expense for the benefit of very few. Surprise! May not like it so much now that it’s affecting sweet little ol’ you.
My favorite part of this is "Real people are suffering..." Oh no! Real people, you say? I better take that seriously, unlike all those fake people whose suffering is both imaginary, and completely justified. Who the hell cares about any of them?
Here's my thinking: we forgive these people if they agree to stand at the frontlines and endure the impacts of the first tear gas canisters/rubber bullets. Then it feels more fair and we can work together again maybe.
"real people" I guess Canadians are not real people for him.
He’s a businessman who bankrupted multiple casinos. What the hell did they expect?
Aw poor babies maybe they shouldn’t have voted for a selfish worthless puppet manchild
Those aren't TRUE CONSERVATIVES and will be banned shortly.
Only TRUE CONSERVATIVES who love licking that orange man's knob are allowed to comment in r/conservatives. Loyalty oaths will be presented shortly.
I was shocked to see a poll show 13% of Canadians were on board.
I was not at all shocked to see conservatives misrepresenting that poll's finding.
Oh, but there IS a national bankruptcy filing, little brainless Timmy.
You're not going to like that at all.
I heard an interesting theory that the stupid tariffs on Canada are intended to destroy their economy and force them to surrender their sovereignty to the US. He doesn't care if his threats trigger nationalist backlash because he thinks Canada is so dependent on the US that they can't resist.
I'm not sure he actually has a plan, but if there is a plan I could see it as a play for conquest.
That would be absolutely mentally deranged reasoning but given other shit hes done, like cancelling the CHIPS act, i would not at all be suprised if this was how he thought/planned
This seems like a bit of the Gru meme where you add "tank the US economy" as the last slide.

MUH INVESTMENTS
He is doing something...for the insider traders. Where the OP lost 15% the insiders dumped off ahead of the storm and will buy the dip.
"BUSINESSMAN GOOD"
If these people existed in the past, before modern society broke the process of natural selection, they'd have perished long ago.
He's a businessman with no business man, he doesn't even have a business plan.
Trump is going to bankrupt America like his past businesses and the guide rails are being complicit.
