So now you’re either an idiot for believing what Trump says, or you’re disingenuous because you never believed him in the first place and now you’re trying to point out that he’s a liar. Hahahaha. Either way, it’s clear that Trump’s word isn’t worth anything more than the steaks he’s selling. Won’t be long before the Orange Pear says something that no one believes, and when he actually follows through on it for once, we’ll be told we’re a bunch of idiots for not believing what he said, when it was all so clear all long that he was serious this time. It all gives you a good look into the mind-fuck-ability that must run rampant in the real estate “negotiation” world. There’s a reason that the real estate industry attracts some of the country’s most unsavory characters. Trump fits right in. Nah the simpler and easier solution is to simply learn what a negotiation is and realize the opening salvo is just that. You have to be pretty deranged to walk into a car dealership and think that the prices are the prices and if they can be adjusted lower that the dealership is “lying”. Otherwise, totally agree a lot of scumbags in real estate. That doesn’t stop many on this board from their love affair with “never told a lie” Bruce Flatt and Brookfield though.

You really have drunk the Koolaid. Trump has run more scams than one can count and still doing so. Warren G. Harding's reputation will pale in comparison to this guy. Trump has ripped off hundreds of innocent people over his lifetime and is well known for stiffing contractors, lawyers and, well, just about everyone he could. How many people do you know personally that have used bankruptcy to screw their creditors? Well this guy and gone bankrupt numerous times, including, of all things bankrupting several of his Casinos! And let's not forget the Trump University scam where he set out to take advantage of innocent people trying to better themselves. You believe that is the mark of a brilliant businessman? I have been involved in numerous successful business deals over the years and unlike your idol I don't believe I ever once had to lie, threaten or insult any of the people with whom I was dealing. Nor did I inherit several hundred million.

cubsfan Posted May 30, 2025 Posted May 30, 2025 Pretty funny boys. In a couple of months, it will be 10 years since Trump announced his candidacy. Everyone laughed, including me. I thought he was a cartoon character looking for publicity. At this point, he's at the pinnacle of success in the greatest country in the world. He's never been more popular or successful. Enjoy it brothers, he'll be around a long time, no matter what you throw at him.

"Hes never been more popular or successful". Thats the KoolAid and denial talking because the only saving grace is that he's completely incompetent.

They've been hoodwinked and demonstrably wrong on anything where TDS can seep into the thought process, so much so, that theyre just here for our humor at this point. Hillary winning, Russiagate, covid, etc... Although, I have kinda noticed a usefulness, and in this case, the second they think they have it figured out, the "taco trade", probably means theyre on the wrong side of things once again, and its time to pare down exposure or have some hedges. After all, they might not be good for much, but can be valuable contras.

He's literally a cartoon character from television or film...Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazard or maybe Kingpin from Daredevil. Keep sucking on the blue pill Cubs, I'm taking the red pill! Cheers!
dealraker Posted May 30, 2025 Posted May 30, 2025 A bit of TACO-trading update given the awfulizations being published as to how much of a dumbass us negative on the TACO man are. As mentioned on Trump election day ole deal quickly went 100% cash on the bump up in the little retirement account I've profiled here on COBF twice. A quick review would reveal that $30k contribution thingy ending in 1994 was $1.25 mil 2 1/2 years ago then $1.64 mil in the late summer of 2023 when it went to 3 defense stocks (GD, LHX, RTX) and WTW. Those were sold on the election bump with quite the short term gains. Bought WTW back in the tax acct world and it ain't done much. As mentioned here on COBF I went 100% Meta in the ret acct, missing the bottom by a long shot, buying 3 times (average price $507, on the liberation days. Regardless, have a $548,000 profit in that endeavor and said retirement account is now hovering in the $2.5 mil arena with 4k shares of Meta. Like my following of Trump, been obsessed with Zuck since the FB IPO...but a different obsession - one of admiration of his focus, willpower, and crazy intensity on jamming his business down everyone's throat...a wonderful enterprise as far as $ making. Never Meta guy I love more than the TACO-man! Wells is showing I'm an 18% annual man since 2011 in this ret account. Parsad.......I'm coming for your 19% annual stardom! LOL, I could not be more silly. But TACO is TACO, and there is more to come to be sure. We are going to see some gapping downs, count on it. Having some cash? Oh yeah...oh yea! Gunna bail on this latest Meta buy, have way too much Meta these days a bit annoyed I didn't sell a couple of weeks ago. But like my interest in Trump, a psychological one of observing unique fail-to-win, I've been obsessed with Zuck and his focus and willpower since the IPO...and the fact that his business is at least to me one of the 5 most dominant one I've ever followed. Oh how long will it last? The question with all of them, particularly my insurance brokers!

Thank you for sharing. It’s tough enough to trade on this never mind running a business. The supplier I asked about the 35% +15% admin fee: tariff surcharge for that spare part told me that the part is from China, which explain the 35% . My guess is the 15% are extra Edited May 30, 2025 by Spekulatius

Tell us again how you “got him” cuz Ukraines war wasn’t over by January 21st lol

Replaced by jokes about when and how badly he will cave. It would be even funnier if the issues weren't so serious. Don't worry, that Ukraine war is ending in 2 weeks!
cubsfan Posted May 30, 2025 Posted May 30, 2025 It's wonderful seeing Trump live rent-free in your heads!
