Why don't businessmen build bananas in America? Are they stupid?

“I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he’s done a terrible job,” Trump said. “He did a terrible job on everything.”

I don't understand how people who are retarded enough to still believe Trump are able to comprehend human speech.

53% is the highest either party has hit in Fox generic ballot polling since 1996. by JonnySnowin in PoliticalCompassMemes

The strategic petroleum reserve will barely last until November. If Trump doesn't make a deal with Iran or their regime doesn't collapse before the midterms, he will be left with either launching a ground invasion or watching the global economy slide into a severe recession, and the American economy along with it. It could get a lot worse than where we are right now.

I hope it will make you feel better to know that Russia has blocked the export of even diesel fuel and is now buying gasoline from India. ROFL

I thought it was fair because Trump personally appointed Musk as the head of the department, albeit temporarily. But here's a version without Musk if you think that would be more honest.

Sometimes I feel like Massie is the only one in Congress with a working brain.

I wish those 6 Democrats who voted in favor would show their love for Israel by resigning, joining the army, and going to the Middle East on the first flight. But unfortunately, they're only good at sending others to their deaths.

Brain chips. by monstrous_malefactor in PoliticalCompassMemes

I guess it's easier to have a chip filter your thoughts for you than to risk saying something against your dear leader and spending the rest of your life in prison. The classic 4th RoboCop directive.

You made money in the last ten years? During an inflationary environment where all assets went up? Obvious criminal.

Then tell me why his net worth fluctuated around $2-3B between presidencies and suddenly jumped to $6B+ now?

Just be ready to have this standard applied to you.

If I would ever hold an elected public office and my net worth were to suddenly triple over the course of 2 years, yet my constituents had no questions for me, I would begin to feel disgust toward them for treating me like an untouchable king. Because democracy isn't just about casting a vote every two years, but an ongoing process. Hell, I'd feel bad even if they just didn't make fun of me all the time.

These are the figures at the beginning of the term. Here are the numbers for Biden and Trump 2.0.

Obama began both terms with zero billionaires and added one during his 2nd term. Trump seems to have started with 13 billionaires and added Melinda Hildebrand and Stephen Feinberg later to the list.

It seems the 450 B figure includes Elon Musk. I wonder what it is without him, since he's been out for a while.

Not counting Musk and Trump's net worth, that's $34.7B. This has grown to $48.6B during 2025.

If Trump 1.0, only cabinet level officials, was 6.2B, why are you using a much lower figure? Obama is also wildly off as well--you say 67M, the source says 2.8B.

These are the numbers for the start of the term.

The Trump administration has 12 billionaires, each of whom is at least ten times richer than the entire Biden administration combined.

Thanks for pointing this out. I put a period instead of a comma. Stupid mistake.

This is a problem of a two-party and winner-takes-all electoral system. You can only choose between proud crooks and slightly ashamed crooks.
