IRS employee who voted for Trump doesn’t learn his lesson and is fired
“someone with his business acumen”
Ah, yes, you mean the sort of business acumen that makes a casino go bankrupt?
as using his casino to launder russian/soviet money around.
lol they still think this guy actually knows how to run businesses
How do you bankrupt a casino? 😂😂😂 Its literally free money 😂😂😂
Not just one. Four casinos
How could anyone trust the business acumen of someone who bankrupted his own casino? The business model of a casino is people walk in, give you all their money, then leave. That was too much for him.
How the fuck do you bankrupt a casino?
By opening a second casino on the same road, splitting the public between the two, which led to BOTH going bankrupt, despite a cash injection from his father. Yes, he bankrupted TWO casinos…
spent more in building it >cough< than ever received as income from ‘customers’.
at one point some rich fucker (might have been his own father) literally walked in ‘bought’ a shitload of chips (miilions of $) and never cashed them.

Easy. They’re braindead stupid. You have met dogs more intelligent than Trump supporters.

im pretty sure that entire endeavor was a money laundering scheme. it doesnt make any sense otherwise.
I can totally believe that someone who’s never worked in the private sector has such a fanciful view of how layoffs work. My first job out of college was in the government. My views of what constituted “waste” were hilarious, like we got a flashlight (because we occasionally would go outside at night) and it was definitely a pricier flashlight, with some features we didn’t really need. I told my friends at home, “Gosh, the government is so wasteful, look at this overpriced flashlight I got”. Of course they made me turn it in when I left, but still.
Then when I got into the private sector I realized private sector waste is a whole different animal. Obviously there’s the insane CEO pay packages, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Definitely I’ve seen some multi-million-dollar projects that never should have happened and were just the result of our slick salespeople. When I left one job in a layoff I had no way of returning a $3000 laptop because the person I’d return it to was laid off too. It ended up being a nice gift for an amoral friend. Of course layoffs themselves are crazy wasteful, you have tons of hard-earned knowledge walking out the door. They’re almost always random and driven by a desire to temporarily boost the stock price as clueless shareholders are left holding the bag when the company collapses a few years later.
Point is government waste exists, but it’s like a leaky faucet that drips a little. In the private sector, it’s like a faucet that’s constantly running on full blast because everyone is incentivized to maximize the rate of flow.
definitely a pricier flashlight,
It’s because they can’t risk it not working and being blamed when someone trips in the dark
government is also not allowed to negotiate for discounts to minimize risk of corruption and has to pay sticker price
“Someone with his business acumen…”
Holy shit. I imagine this person has an open fucking head wound and a keyboard covered in drool. Holy shit.
With time, you forget just how desperate, unequipped for life and dangerously myopic these people are.
So many Trump supporters just don’t pay attention to anything. For decades before 2016, it was super common knowledge that Trump was a terrible businessman. It was a common joke on late night TV any time Trump was in the news. It was essentially the main thing people knew about him since the 1990s, yet his supporters all think he must be some business genius. And how they still think this after his first term, I have no idea.
The TV show THE APPRENTICE was filmed and edited to portray Trump as a MASTER OF BUSINESS. People who worked behind the scenes of the show have commented on some of the stupid decisions he made, and how they were always covering it with edits to make it look like a wise decisions after the fact…

It never occurred to them that he was so bad at his job that he had to take a job working for a Hollywood studio pretending to be a successful businessman hiring people for a job that never existed. There was never any situation in which anyone was fired from anything.
It’s so incredible that so many people can’t tell how clueless Trump is. The only reason he’s ever “effective” is because he’s a total wildcard since he has absolutely no fucking idea what is happening.
Hope he suffers as much as possible for the suffering he has caused others.
Leopards are gonna have an obesity problem.
lol @ “fine-tooth comb”
Coming in with a wrecking ball is the “business acumen” i.e. sucking out as much money as possible, taking credit for any perceived successes, and passing out blame for any perceived failures. The entire point of business is to enrich the businessman. They’re idolized when they really should be recognized as the parasites they actually are.
It’s absurd that people think trump has any sort of “business acumen.” His businesses fail more often than they succeed. He’s been busted for fraud multiple times. Filed for bankruptcy multiple times. Sued for failing to pay contractors hundreds of times. Banks refused to lend him money. His contemporaries call him the dumbest person they’ve ever met.
It’s absurd that people think trump has any sort of “business acumen.”
He played a successful businessman on a reality TV show. That’s it, that’s why people think he knows what he’s doing, because they evidently can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality.
That’s the thing he’s actually good at. Acting. Getting people to believe in fiction. It’s a good trait for an actor, a despicable power of conmen, and horrifying in a leader.
Filed for bankruptcy multiple times.
Some of these were even for his casinos. He couldn’t even get casinos right.
TV needed a star for a show and created a story that he was a great businessman. All the real successful businessman were busy, true story.
This is after borrowing millions from The Bank of Daddy. Without his parents wealth, he’d be nothing.
His contemporaries call him the dumbest person they’ve ever met.
Apparently they’ve never met his supporters.
I would argue Trump has great business acumen for exactly the reasons you describe.
He’s a mobster who got rich off strong arming, manipulation, and fraud.
Stop assuming his incompetence at being an evil capitalist billionaire and maybe people will finally accept that he is a highly capable amoral danger to the world.
oh no! anyway…
Business acumen? Neither the president nor trump have that
Yeah, they were both kinda born into it.
Works for IRS, thinks Trump has an iota of business acumen. Dude deserved to be fired whether he voted for Agent Orange or not.
If you look at Trump business history and think he’s a good businessman you have no place at the IRS. Hopefully this dude didn’t work for Criminal Investigation.
And he kind of has trouble putting coherent sentences together.
Aside from being brainwashed into MAGA he sounds like a solid dude. He saw a problem in his country and took it upon himself to try to fix it. Too bad he wanted leopards to eat his face
Though, I have realized that if you’re still a Trump supporter, you’re either ill informed or are a terrible person
I agree 100%. I kinda have to believe people like this can get better because I have good people in my family whose actions and political beliefs are entirely at odds with each other.
Fuck the Murdoch dynasty, all of them. Knowing that people I care about have spent decades watching a 4-hour evening infomercial for fascism is brutal.
Same with friends. But it’s so hopeless trying to get through to them. I know their feeds are filled with “LIBERAL TEARS, IMMIGRANTS BECOMES MILLIONAIRE WITH FOOD STAMPS AND HERES WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ACTUAL VICTIMS” They see it on their YouTube. Their Twitter. Their Facebook. Their Instagram. Their FOX (self described non news “entertainment” channel) NEWS app. They’re getting hit with propaganda from everywhere, not even counting the decades of Fox that’s infected their family. They’re so incredibly misinformed and I don’t know what way to change their minds. Some times they’ll listen but it never sticks, probably the same way I do when they’re telling me how democrats actually set up any bad thing that happens.
Fox News was just full time repeating that the border was over run with Hispanic men running around and raping all the white women.
The USA is literally threatening to invade most of its closest allies. Fuck anyone who’s ill informed
“Actually you forgot Poland.”
George W. BUSH
A solid dude? He voted for the guy who incited a coup attempt, mismanaged the COVID response, and spews verbal diarrhea daily. I hate to say it, but they called it right for this guy, we don’t need people who are that stupid in government.
Lol, this is the best comment I’ve read all week. Thank you for giving me a good laugh, I needed it!
It still doesn’t cease to amaze me how absolutely clueless some people can be. How can you observe Trump’s behaviour and think he’ll do anything except be insane? He can’t even form coherent sentences for goodness’ sake!
I hope this moron, and all his Trump pals, lose everything.
Imagine thinking Trump has business acumen.
they arent just uninformed… they are brainwashed. you dont just snap out of it. you cant logic yourself out of a position you did not logic yourself into
its like trying to convince someone that their religion is garbage. no matter what evidence you provide, their brain will work around it.
Yeah we’ve had a mass brainwashing in this country that we’ve never seen before and it’s terrifying
I saw this before, right after 9/11.
For the people who consume conservative media, it has not stopped since then. That’s why they are SO brainwashed into accepting the most ridiculous shit they’re told.
I remember A LOT of racism toward anyone that even looked middle eastern.
The United States is a VERY racist nation.
Yea well religion and fox news did all the heavy lifting for shitler. They were 99% brainwashed when he showed up. He grabbed the steering wheel and they readily threw their jesus christ in the ditch to ride with new messiah daddy.
I think a huge problem is that a significant part of the population has poor long term memory. I saw interviews before the election where they asked voters and the ones who were pro Trump always talked about how he was a good businessman. They had completely forgotten that 4 years earlier they had to fight for toilet paper under Trump. A friend said before the election, “Biden was the worst President ever.” “Did you forget that you had no toilet paper?” “Oh, yeah.”
No memory.
How can you observe Trump’s behaviour and think he’ll do anything except be insane?
It’s all about hate. His supporters are full of hate and that overrides any semblance of common sense.
