You joke, but he literally did tell people he spoke with “The President of the Virgin Islands”.
He was “too nice” to SNC? That… That is not even a remotely accurate euphemism.
Like, Trudeau isn’t Trump. Not even close. Not even directionally similar. But that’s not at all a reasonable way to describe the scandal.
I want to live in a world where people can eat beyond rice and dried beans within their budget.
It’s 2024. Eating a thin mash of bulk grains like you’re a medieval peasant isn’t a plucky story of resilience. It’s the story of a failed economic policy.
A guy in the mall polled me one time but he just asked me questions like “name something you groom yourself with”
Duh, a bride, obviously.
I realize I didn’t explicitly say that, and that in the politically charged environment it was probably assumed I was shilling R.
I love data sets, that’s all.
Hoover and Roosevelt really drag the averages around.
The way they calculated, almost half of the “credit” for Democrat growth was Roosevelt.
And hoover single handedly cuts the R number by 30% as a result of him having massive negative growth.
Juxtaposition of pearl-clutching Puritanism w/ a 21 drinking age against beer available in a 7-11.
Pick a fucking lane
No but I’m all-in on phrenology
CEOs wanna cosplay Steve Jobs and unvail their crazy new features. They’ve already “trimmed the fat” to appease shareholders.
They just can’t make fixing old issues sexy.

I can feel it at a funeral, a wedding, a birth, a Requiem for a nation defeated etc etc
I like that the premise of this was that he called up his wife to tell her that.
In a speculative market, which is the reality in which we both exist, share value can absolutely be divorced from a balance sheet. As you’ve pointed out, that is the case here.
So what is the speculative value to an investor? Why ISN’T it zero?
If you have a theory better than “investors believe he’ll use his position as president to increase the value of his own holdings if he wins” I’d be curious to hear it.
Maybe it’s by making presidential decisions contingent on “friendly actions” like buying shares if you’re a foreign nation or even a domestic interest. Maybe he’ll award government communication contracts.
Super interested in an alternative explanation, though.
Oh for sure. It’s effectively been a proxy for election betting since it’s inception. Investors know if he wins it’s a vehicle for people to buy his favour by adding demand pressure. As long as Trump thinks he might win, he has to keep his position.
I’m all for dunking on Trump, but you (or anyone here) should read the article.
It didn’t trigger because the price was tanking. It triggered because it was going up too fast.
It was on news of Trump saying he wasn’t going to sell.
LITERALLY 1484
No efficient way.
If you’re so absent from reality that this far in you still haven’t decided if Trump is a bad guy or not, I’m sure you’re statistically more likely to have an ex wife.
And I agree that anyone who is comfortable saying “my bitch ex wife” on a public forum is already for Trump, but there are plenty of people with ex wives they don’t want to be reminded of.
Again, I’m not going to sugar coat this: the world is unfair and sexist.
People hold emotionality against people differently based on gender, so yeah, I do.
The minute she starts to sound like “my bitch ex-wife” that’s going to do something visceral.
It’s not right or fair, but it is.
