“someone with his business acumen”

Ah, yes, you mean the sort of business acumen that makes a casino go bankrupt?

lol they still think this guy actually knows how to run businesses

His “business acumen” is hostile takeover style from the 80s-90s. If the guy really studied up he would’ve known those types come in and slash and burn. No one is spared. They squeeze the juice out until a company is “lean and mean” and attractive to investors that want to liquidate or restart without old guard getting in the way. What a dummy.

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.

These people don’t read, they just see the flashy show on fox news, then go to work

“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.

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.

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.

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.

The MAGAts failed to learn the Orange KGB agent does not give a flying fuck about them. Businees acumen? Nope. LOL!

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.

“his business acumen” is exactly what you’re getting, bub.

Business acumen? Neither the president nor trump have that

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.

Why people regard Trump as good businessman? Bunch of his shit went bankrupt because he’s so “excellent”. Same as with Elon. Everyone treats him as genius. He’s a moron who hires actual smart people and then take credit for their work. And everything is always ultra late, over budget or never materialized. And now these two bozos work together to “fix” US government that has been functioning perfectly well for 300+ years.
