He's just that good at business. Truly an unstoppable force in the world of commerce. Capitalism really is the best system. No problems.
That is a very nice way of putting it. He's a narcissistic worthless idiot asshole and a scammer who got really really lucky a number of times. He has charisma, I'll give you that, but so did Hitler (and sorry for the comparison, its just to make the point that charisma alone isn't worth that much)
I've seen him for what he is for years now and still there are huge swaths of people out there thinking he is some kind of saviour or something,blind of like people who think Tru o is the next coming of Christ.
People are idiots
I kinda wish what I said about him back in 2010-2011 when he started getting attention had come true. "Just wait, he's gonna turn out to be a comic book villain, he already has the name."
A comic book villain would have been so much better, sure he'd be out to rule the world, and probably be well on his way to do it, but he'd be intelligent at least.
The alternative to that is?
And what's the point of that if you can't find a better solution? Blaming every own failure on "capitalism" is why some Lemmy users make me laugh.
Can't find a solution without first pointing out and understanding the problem.
Socialism.
This cancer made my country struggle for decades before it eventually went on the right tracks so fuck off with that.
