    Judging by how much the billionaires back him, I don’t think that’s true. The idea that billionaires are anything other than scammers and abusers like Trump is pretty obviously false. He just doesn’t mask it.

      He’s a useful idiot. Back in the 90s when he was doing fast food commercials, he lost massive amounts of money. The appearance of bring a billionaire helped him become a billionaire again. The dude’s a grifter and a puppet.

            Liberals, especially middle-class liberals who had a little economic privilege, will not question the system that privileged them.

            So they reach for other explanations that vibe with the things they already believe. Evil foreigners, bad people doing capitalism wrong, maybe both conspiring together.

      No he’s right. Trump before becoming president likely wasn’t a billionaire. Trump is gold leaf trash amongst his peers, he’s the bullshitter his peers play golf with to make fun of. He’s the stupid face for the real Billionaires with tens and hundreds of billions. A Tool of no pedigree, his grandpa dodged the draft and made it opening a whore house.

      The billionaires don’t see him as one of them.

          Not compared to Elon Musk, Bill Gates, MBS, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Zuck, etc… Trump only now has Arnold (Bubba) Palmer Billions and it’s not very liquid.

        Every billionaire that opens their mouth. How do you think they got all that money? Hard work and ethical business practices?

            We aren’t arguing with each other trying to say the same thing. You are trying to argue with me because you misread my comment twice.

            Billionaires are soulless scammers. I said that pretty clearly in my original comment.

                My comment was perfectly understandable and used a really common phrase. You’re being a patronizing asshole despite the misunderstanding being entirely on you. I didn’t make you comment.

                Edit: and then you delete the entire comment chain to hide it. Is lemmy holding a clown convention today?
