Congratulations, Sherlock.
The name is Macho MAGA Man.
Weird comment on your part.
I don’t believe it. Why would Trump say then he would not go back to Twitter?
The clowns are still trying to impeach Donald Trump.
Isn’t that an implicit admission that the 2020 election was a criminal fraud that has no standing?
I don’t either. It smells funny.
And why would Nunes, CEO of truthsocial, which has had a lackluster rollout, even admit this?
I sucked at my job so Trump told Musk to buy twitter.
Truth Social is Elon’s backup plan. He’ll eventually buy it out or join it, depending on how the Twitter effort goes.
So? I think Trump can recommend the fish instead of the veal too.
Encouraged? More like put Leftists into action. Twitter is now competition to sites like Truth and Gab... if you believe all of the lies. Have a Gettr account? It’s people like you who believe the lies.
So what, scumbag!
I can only imagine because it makes Trump a part of Musk’s success and still in control. Musk does not seem to be a man who needs advise on how to spend his money, especially from someone whose filed bankruptcy many times.
Who are you referring as a scumbag?
Duh!
A persistent myth spread by ignorant people.
Donald Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy. Companies he ran have filed for bankruptcy 4 times.
Aha! you say -- a distinction without a difference. There is where you are wrong. The ability to form corporations, thereby limiting the liability of shareholders, is key to American entrepreneurship. It allows great risk-taking without endangering personal survival. We would not be a strong country without this form of enterprise.
What about the lenders who lost money in these bankruptcies you ask? Well, what about them? They were professional lenders and charged an interest rate which compensated them for a failure rate among their borrowers. Some failure is baked into the system. Were they deceived? No, they were not deceived. No one, no one at all, ever lends hundreds of millions of dollars without doing due diligence and their own assessment of the risks.
The only lender who doesn't do that is the Chinese government lending to the Bidets.
Nowhere in my response did I say personal bankruptcy. We were speaking about business advise. I assumed the reader, familiar with Trump, knew. The rest, if you understood how it works, is not harmless or good business practice. I do not like paying more in goods and services and banking fee’s so a billionaire can be risky, no matter who he is. My post you responded to was not a personal attack, but fact based.
imho Musk should buy Truth media. So that he has a complete media conglomerate.
Musk would do a much better job that the current team at Truth media.
imho Musk is right about the name: Truth Media. Its a loser.
But you did say that. What you wrote was:
...especially from someone whose filed bankruptcy many times.
To be very precise, Donald Trump has never filed bankruptcy. Companies he controlled have filed bankruptcy, but he hasn't.
... if you understood how it works, is not harmless or good business practice...
As I pointed out, the ability for a corporation to file bankruptcy, is essential to the success of American industry as a whole.
...I do not like paying more in goods and services and banking fee’s so a billionaire can be risky, no matter who he is...
I think you are going to have to go back in time to an era when debtor's prison was socially acceptable to find an economic system to your liking.
Personally, I prefer the many advantages of a modern economy which is only made possible by the risks (and great rewards) of a system which includes bankruptcy.
Where were you when General Motors went bankrupt and was bailed out by the US government? Was that equally bad? Or maybe it was worse because a lot more money was lost. Of course the GM bankruptcy and bailout was organized by the minions of Saint Obama and must have been "good". Never mind that the process violated existing law and rewarded the pension plan at the great expense of bondholders, introducing huge uncertainty into a field of law where certainty and predictability is at a premium.
