Steve Schwarzman, the billionaire businessman who's been a long time supporter of Donald Trump's, now says the election is over and the president needs to move on in a sign of dwindling support for Trump's doomed legal battle.

In the immediate aftermath of the election Schwarzman, the CEO of the Blackstone Group, defended the president's right to pursue legal battles and told the business community Trump had the right to pursue all avenues.

But now he's recognizing Joe Biden's victory.

'I'm a fan of good process,' Schwarzman told Axios. 'In my comments three days after the election, I was trying to be a voice of reason and express why it's in the national interest to have all Americans believe the election is being resolved correctly. But the outcome is very certain today, and the country should move on.'

'I supported President Trump and the strong economic path he built. Like many in the business community, I am ready to help President-elect Biden and his team as they confront the significant challenges of rebuilding our post-COVID economy,' he added.

In the 2016 campaign, Trump vowed to raise taxes on hedge fund billionaires. He said he’d get rid of the carried interest loophole

Although this was part of his MAGA populist platform, during his first term it never happened.

But it seems the billionaire class is worried that it might happen during his second term.

Is that why the billionaires and Wall Street want Trump gone?

[Bigg Red]

Exactly. What does he have to lose when all of the fraud and corruption is exposed?

[RummyChick]

Right now the market loves President Biden

Before the election I was really worried that if he won the market would immediately tank.

I guess that is going to come later as he wrecks everything Trump built up to get the economy going.

WOuld Trump have won but for Covid. I dont know. They still could have cheated.

[RummyChick]

well on second thought..mail in ballots might have been different but for Covid.

[CincyRichieRich]

Thanks for your service, Trump. You showed what could be done.
Now we go back to the regularly scheduled Washington inside job of screwing the American people

The past 2-3 days, you are in a funk and need to back away from the keyboard. Read and pray, stop posting.

Check out the popular vote for the Democratic candidate for President, 2008, 2012, 2016 and then 2020:

2008: 69.5M–the first black candidate–massive enthusiasm in the black community

2012: 65.9M–the thrill is gone, turnout goes down

2016: 65.8M–black turnout stays low with no black candidate

2020: 79.8M–This incredibly high turnout was because the Democrats offered a young, articulate, visionary candidate who had huge campaign rallies around the country motivating Democrats to vote

(Is there _anyone_ on the planet stupid enough to _believe_ _that_ 2020 narrative? Anyone?)

It sounds that this guy thought it was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

[RummyChick]

No, I am not in a funk. I am doing a reasoned calculation based on what I see.

If you want to actually watch the legal process you can read the poster Dr franklin posts as this goes up the PA chain

"Steve Schwarzman... now he's recognizing Joe Biden's victory."

Joe Biden's victory??? LOL!

Spineless Steve has been successfully assimilated into the collective consciousness of the Communist hive. He now accepts the virtues of children and dictators... that fraud is Democracy and Democracy is theft.

Rules, honor and fair-play are relics of a bygone era that only a moral and religious people cling to.

It is possible the world could descend into an order that will be ruled by NWO cartels... Kingpin Dons & lieutenant henchman that control mobs of brown-shirt enforcement zombies. A culture of dystopian survival that will rival the depraved and degenerate worlds of Mad Max and Escape from New York. The 1917 Soviet Pogroms will seem like a quiet Sunday afternoon compared to what is about to unfold if we lose control.

Is this bleak reality possible? Yes, but it is not yet probable. Our beloved America and Constitution must survive and throw off these despots, traitors and miscreants that aim to destroy and enslave us.

"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war."

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other - John Adams

Lets keep it that way.

Rather than Fuck Trump, how about fuck Daily mail ?

[RummyChick]

Pay close attention to this....it will tell you whether it’s over or not. Alito can make it happen or not. If he doesn’t...then you know.

“And did they do this to keep Alito from snapping it up?

Well, they can’t. If the clock is running out, which it is, and SCOTUS wants to hear the case, Alito as Circuit Judge can issue the stay himself pending further action by the full court. Stay tuned.

What I have discovered is who the Presidents friends REALLY are......and I’ve come down to about 70 to 80 million every day people who love and support him. The others can ESAD!!!!

[RummyChick]

There is no denying one of Trump’s legacies.

Loved by People

Hated by Politicians

[Dawgreg]

Dang RummyChick, I can’t get my cut and paste to work right now but I totally agree with you.........and the President isn’t afraid to fight and as evidenced lately MAGA voters are taking to the streets and state houses and voicing their disgust and I’d give anything to be there with them! Please Lord hear our prayers and put our President back in for 4 more years (or more).......;)

You go to war with the Army you have.

[Lisbon1940]

You can subtract a few million from the 80 who are not MAGA.

[RummyChick]

This is true.

A bunch of rag tag crazy brave people beat King George..although, it did take France to help along the way.

[9YearLurker]

Corrupt as they come.

Also forked over $100M to send American college students to study in China: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323551004578436494052747764

The billionaire class aren’t ideologically invested in Trump. He just doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of Biden in the small chance he became president.

Scorched earth now, release the documents
