Banana republics are bad for business: Shark Tank star KEVIN O'LEARY reveals the shocking impact Trump's verdict will have on your family's finances
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 1 2024 | KEVIN O'LEARY

We are in uncharted waters. Donald Trump is a convicted felon. The whole thing is perverse.

The American brand has been dragged through the mud, sunk to the level of a banana republic where rulers take their political enemies out to the jungle to disappear.

This great nation now stands diminished in the eyes of international investors. And the economic consequences for ordinary Americans could be dire.

The Democrats will burn this nation to the ground so that they may rule the ashes.

In a banana republic, you have to pay off the crooks in order to do business.

Of course you’re going to have to outbid the likes of China in order to get the crooks on your side.

Every business owner in NY is now on notice. From the small one-man landscaping guy to the large corporations. NY can destroy & bankrupt your business simply because they don’t like you.

Isn’t it a bit ironic that O’Leary trashes NYC, especially since the 2 court decisions, yet goes there to pontificate on how bad it is. So he earns a few extra bucks, stays in a hotel, dines at their restaurants. If it’s so bad, I’m sure he’s at terrible risk. Yet he’s there.

From the article: ‘I was in London speaking to investors when Stormy Daniels was testifying on the stand – and all the audience members wanted to know was: 'What on Earth does a porn star's use of condoms have to do with campaign finance law?'

Part of the cover up?

They can put everyone they want in jail or at least bankrupt him for the same “crimes”.

A nuclear World War III should accomplish that quite nicely.

It’s what Chairman Jao Xiden wants.

The COVID-19.1984.v666 jab should protect everyone.

It is incorrect to categorize the US as a “banana republic”. It is more like Beria’s NKVD under Stalin’s Bolshevik USSR. Even worse, though: Beria told Stalin, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” but Democrat DA Alvin Bragg didn’t even bother to identify the crime.

Meanwhile, Biden says he was going to turn the ruble into rubble, but in fact turns the dollar into dung.

maybe this would be a good time for biden to make a speech a la hochul

and say no worries

we were only persecuting Trump(or anyone else or dares to go up against the state)

so if your name is not Trump(and you keep your head down and keep the donations coming)

you have nothing to worry about

As an amateur welder, the weld smokes, sparks, gets soft and red, yellow or dripping molton drops, but when you’re done it will cool down to something nice.

And yet many businesses still operate in NY and the business sector as a whole seems to be more on Biden's side than Trump's, in spite of Biden's abysmal record on fighting inflation. Something does not add up.

That's also their foreign policy with respect to the whole world.

Yes, that is why they are flooding the Western nations with Third World ‘refugees’

Destabilize the West so that they can conquer the West without firing a shot. Collapse their economies, weaken the culture and get the vote.

Yep. I don't see any scenario where half the country doesn't refuse to accept the results of the election.

And if Trump wins on Election Day, the following 2+ months will be nothing but riots and lawfare as the Democrats pull ever maneuver they can think of to prevent his inauguration from happening.
