CEOs at Trump meeting: Ex-president ‘meandering’ and ‘doesn't know what he's talking about’
Trump offered scant details on how he would reduce taxes and cut back on business regulations, according to two people in the room.
You're viewing a single thread.
"But he says he'd cut my taxes 5% so I'm giving him $100 million in dark money," they continued.
The dumb ones will. The smart ones know that demagoguery and authoritarianism can impact trade and currency valuation, and investing in them is a great way to lose a lot of money.
But that's in the future. I want that tax cut now!
I wish your faith in the oligarch class was justified.
Nope. The rich are greedy and I’m just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.

... the lion’s share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political givers—the top 100 families—have flowed to Republican candidates and groups.
In the “hard money” category—direct donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sums—Republicans took in 27 percent more from the Top 100 families than Democrats did ($85.9 million vs. $67.9 million).
But looking at all federal contributions, including “soft money,” a category that tallies the generous donations allowed to party committees and the unrestricted contributions to SuperPACs, Republicans raked in a whopping $508 million from the Top 100—triple the Democrats’ $169 million take.
Some of them care more about power than even their own quality of life
That is the real issue.
Can't cut taxes if you don't pay taxes to begin with. Does not compute.
Of course he will save the RICH a lot of money but the majority of working folks will pay dearly.
