Have they tried calling the CEO crises hotline?

I hope he ruins all of them. Every last one.

You had four whole years of Trump to realize he never jokes around, he doesn't bluff, and he's never going to pivot, change directions, or admit he made a mistake. He means what he says and there is no nuance or subtext.

"Stupid CEOs are left dumbfounded when a greedy selfish narcissist who only listens to those who pay him the most is a greedy selfist narcissist."

I know CEOs are never the smartest people, but Jesus Christ. Milk spoiling in the summer heat is less obvious.

Are these CEOs too stupid to realize they forgot to donate $1 million dollars to Trump's inaugural fund? Total amateurs. 🙄

Can someone explain why no one takes Trump at his word?

How the actual fuck are people “blindsided” by this?

Wait, what CEO is surprised that Trump won't look at data and make decisions on that? Anyone this foolish should have their stock shorted.

Trump’s late-night social media announcements have blindsided both his advisers and business leaders, leaving them scrambling to react.

He said he was going to do this long ago, dipshits. "Seriously, but not literally?"

Might be a bit of a contrarian take, but at this point I think Trump needs to have a gigantic fuck up to drive people to the streets in anger, South Korea style. One of those 'we need our medicine before we can get better' moments.

For some reason tens of millions of people buy his "'I'm the greatest - only I can save you - they're evil and stupid" rhetoric.

So it's going to take a truly epic fuck up that he can't bullshit his way out of - and that the media can't ignore - for people to finally see that him and his cronies are all gigantic pieces of shit.

unilateral

authoritarian*

FTFY

What are they expecting, exactly? Even Musk was saying a day before the election that Trump was going to tank the economy. I'm sure Trump will just say "things are going to get worse before they get better, but believe you me when they get better, you're all going to be filthy rich!" The typical Trump supporter will assume he's talking to them, but he'll only be talking to those who are already filthy rich.

Just increase taxes on the wealthy...

All tariffs will do is put the additional costs onto the working class.

Leopards, faces, etc.

He's a Russian asset, what do they think he is going to do anything that's in the US's best interest? He's here to burn it to the ground and line his pockets with what's not ashes.

Honestly at this point I don't know how anyone can't see the obvious.

They thought they’d vote anti-tax first, then pushover trump on the tariffs when they had the time. Looks like they were wrong.

More faces being eaten.

This is literally the most predictable outcome.

All part of Putin's plan. He probably gave him the advice on tariffs.

Did you only now notice that he only cares about himself?

Ceo will save themselves, if they are normal, they will have assets in different countries and just move.

Poor people on the other hands would not be able to move to another city.

Whats going to happen is what happened last time. Trump proposes tariffs on products from [industry]. Business leaders from said [industry] bends knee, kisses ring and ass, donates cash, and tariffs never materializes.

Looks like Americans are about to go through their version of brexit. Good luck, it's going to be rough.

After the great depression, tariffs were implemented and failed to do anything other than fuck over the American people.

The event that finally ended the Great Depression was the United States' entry into World War II, which significantly boosted the economy through increased demand for war materials and created millions of jobs in defense industries. While President Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs aimed to alleviate the Depression, they did not fully end it. The massive production needs of World War II essentially pulled the US out of the Depression. The government spending on war materials created a significant economic stimulus.

This guy has tanked all of his previous enterprises due to his poor decision making and lack of knowledge. What in their right minds made them think this would be any different?

Anyone else feel like the goal IS inflation?? I feel like they're trying to contrstruct a Weimar Republic situation with this to push people further right. I hope I'm wrong, but this feels like they're really trying to come up with an excuse to kill a lot of people.

Good, destroy eachother.

Maybe your dumb asses should have been railing against this a long fucking time ago.

Didn't he literally campaign on these tariffs?

Where were these titans of industry in October?

Yup. This is not a new thing. If these guys had lined up to say this at a microphone during the campaign it could have had an impact. But no, they thought they could just control him after the fact. After having seen how uncontrollable he was during his first term. This is what happens when you equate wealth with intelligence. You get dumbasses who think they're playing 5d chess.

He has already shown them what he wants them to do.

Just donate $1 million to him and he will help your business

The German corporate elite thought they could control the last guy as well...
