Greg, it's not as simple as that. There are many things I agree with Trump on that needed to be fixed. It's about how you do it as much as what you are doing. Someone can fix their status in life easily by beating and stealing from others, especially the more vulnerable. But is that really how you should improve your own life? Trump is bypassing decades of oversight put in place exactly so a President cannot do what Trump is doing...the good and the bad. He's challenging the Constitution, Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies, the press, federal and state legal precedents, you name it. You agree with everything he is doing, until the day comes when the illegality of his decisions directly affects you, your wife and your kids. That's the problem! There is no problem, until it becomes YOUR problem! Right now is just the beginning. A lot of his supporters are suddenly confronting crippling tariffs...so they've finally developed a spine once it affects them directly and asking him to change his mind. Maybe you will too...maybe you won't...depends how much of the Kool-aid you've quaffed! Cheers!

Nope. I'm talking about leaders who were in leadership positions before they were officially recognized as leaders...like Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Dell, etc. They did things differently and had every right to criticize. This was related to you questioning Luke's qualifications to criticize Trump just because he wasn't a CEO, VP, or had some level of corporate leadership experience. Trump was criticizing Obama, Biden and every other leader before he ever won the 1st election! But then again, he had the experience of 5 bankruptcies before that so he was well qualified I suppose! Cheers!

I think most voters would disagree with you. They as citizens have a right to criticize and vote leaders in or out. They did things that other leaders couldn't or wouldn't do...I think they had every right to criticize, because they changed the way people do business and how tech companies (as well as other businessses) are run. Not true at all. You have many successful companies out there, with differing styles of management. Same with sports. Different coaching styles. Cheers!

Greg Popovich and Steve Kerr are a couple of coaches that can do this like Lombardi. Phil Jackson, Andy Reid and a bunch of others...great at leadership and coaching. Cheers!

James, are you saying the ability to get things done means you have to be an asshole? If so, have you been in any leadership positions? You can be an asshole as a leader, but that doesn't mean shit gets done, because you've alienated half the workforce, including the most capable of your employees. The saying 20% of the people do 80% of the work is true...so you alienate many of the best workers. Sometimes you do have to be a bit of a dick...but it is well-placed...not like Trump who literally serves shit to his entire team every day, not to mention half the country! Cheers!

Learn to ignore people if they annoy you. They don't have the monopoly on being right...in fact, they are often wrong. But so are you, myself and every other member. Part of life is being able to deal with morons...from both sides of any argument! And all of us have the ability to contribute or be moronic. Cheers!

+1! And cheers!

That's bullshit. Explain Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. Often, there is a collegial relationship between business leaders/politicians and they become oblivious to their failures...speaking both from experience and a non-business perspective! Cheers!

I have/am...what's your point? Cheers!

Yes, and let's bring back millions of manufacturing jobs when technology and robotics will replace many of those millions of jobs in the name of efficiency and cost savings. What are we doing here? Breaking apart the advantages the U.S. actually has...META, GOOGL, AAPL, MSFT...and bringing back jobs that left for a very specific reason! Is the U.S and the world better because Standard Oil was broken apart? Nope! Cheers!

That's the biggest pile of horseshit I've read this year! What the hell was that? So, the world was force-feeding a giant U.S. baby and making it obese...not that the U.S. was a fat fucker who wanted to stuff his face with all the Big Macs he/she could eat. His argument is a complete mish mash of garbage that makes zero sense, other than there are/were trade imbalances that could not continue and that Trump's actions (calculated or just plain dumb luck) have made that problem, among others, blatantly obvious. He could have just said that...and to buckle your seats. He also turned bearish in August of 2022...that's a hell of a lot of opportunities given up in that time. That's why I try and not read this type of crap...people with too much time to try and figure out things that are just in the "way to hard pile!" Look for cheap stuff and forget all of this! Cheers!

The funny thing is, the last time I was in a Trump hotel (2017 in Chicago), almost all of the staff I encountered (other than Eric Trump in the elevator) was Hispanic. Yet, they are all criminals, murderers, thieves and gang members according to him. It's that type of rhetoric that I'm concerned about...not that immigration is a problem...that it is contributing to problems in housing, healthcare, etc. At the same time, there is and was a significant shortage in service workers for the last five years which drove the increased immigration quotas. If you want your Big Mac, somebody has to make the damn thing...and most non-immigrant Americans don't want that job! Cheers!

Paarslaars...this is a parody...you know that, right? Cheers! -
I didn't say immigration wasn't a problem. But the racist rhetoric has become acceptable in that debate...such as you just commenting "I don't hear English." The Sikh Gurdwara near my house serves 1,000 free meals a day! They hear everything including English! Cheers!

I didn't say they were Nazi's, so you can stop the rhetoric feigning Godwin's Law. What I'm referring to is that there is a thin line between Nationalistic/racist tendencies and ideals that slowly permeate the psyche of people, where the horrible things Nazi's did in the early days becomes acceptable. Not drawing the line is what allowed Hitler to take power and do the things we say were so atrocious. It's become acceptable to say that immigrants today are not the same as immigrants in past decades...that they are lazy, criminals, users, etc. I just had a conversation with one of my cousins yesterday at a children's birthday party...hardcore MAGA...that's exactly what he said! He's fucking 1st generation born Canadian...not even 2nd or 3rd generation...1st generation! If my cousin...and he isn't the only one...two my uncles and one of my best friends. They fucking think this way now. So Sweet, if you think this is some aberration or people are exaggerating or make false comparisons...you are so wrong! It's why someone like Trump is in power...why he got a second term...why what he does would not have been acceptable 20 years ago, but is fully ok today. It's why so many Canadians are back on their heels...Mexicans...Europeans...Asians. Even Modi doesn't pull the shit that Trump does. Destruction of global alliances decades in the making...ripping up existing trade deals...trade tariffs decided on a whim...unqualified people thrown into incredibly important positions...zero oversight! Hitler wishes he had it so easy! Cheers!

That was funny! Cheers! -
Nobody at all disagrees with this. It's the method behind the madness! Jimmy Kimmel had a funny take on this. It's like your dog vomiting all over your bed, and then eating the vomit and looking at you like "I did good, huh?!" Yeah, you did good shithead! Cheers!

What did the Nazi's believe in? Nationalism Reject Liberalism Reject Democracy Racial Superiority Removal of a specific group of people Jews Disabled Gay Other minorities I can go on...there are certainly some similarities. Cheers!
