Home Depot Co Founder:"Biden Does Not Understand How Business Works"

Also, given you using comments like 'gash' to describe a woman president.... I think your racism and misogyny would backfire on you pretty badly.

What the fuck is racist about "gash"?

Let me tell you: NOTHING.

Fuckin' dipshit...
 
Anyone can go
And
True Biden has never bankrupted a casino and is not over one billion dollars in debt like Trump.

Biden has never invested anything, so he could not suffer any losses. Are you aware that all businesses borrow, dumbo? I worked as an accountant for 30 years and each one of my employers had debt. Good Lord. Where did Forbes get that number? Trump owned a whole lot of different businesses all over the world. He did not manage all of them, so he could not possibly know at any one time how much they all owed. The ignorance I find here is appalling,


And Biden has never destroyed small contractors or casinos as Trump has, has never went bankrupt but diverted enough money into his own personal accounts as all who invested with him went down as Trump has.

Biden is not one billion dollars in hoch as Trump is.
How pray tell does one go "bankrupt" when you're a US Senator? The answer to that is you can't! Joe Biden has been on the public dole for his entire adult life. He doesn't have a clue how the Private Sector works other than that they're good for payoffs if you've got a drug addict kid who can't hold down a regular job!


Anyone can go bankrupt
.
Jefferson almost did, Lincoln did before becoming President, William McKinley did as governor and it almost ended his political career.

It does not make one a bad politician but when you do over and over as tactic to rip off your creditors, contractors and workers as Trump has it does make you a shit businessman and human being.
A good businessman knows when to declare bankruptcy. Trump has run literally hundreds of businesses. Only the truly clueless would think they would all be successful and that for some of them to fail indicates a lack of business acumen on Trump's part! He succeeded in the New York City real estate market...a more cut throat...take no prisoners business climate would be hard to find ANYWHERE!

As for your other claim that anyone can go bankrupt? Name the last American politician to go bankrupt while they were a sitting US Senator or the Vice President!
 
Oh yes, all the media is lying, conservative, liberal, long established business journals, they are all lying.

Cult talk.

Trump's Atlantic City casino never got going really before he wrecked the place and ran with millions he awarded himself, by his own admission.


And it is over and over again, (he even ripped off the contractor who renovated the famous Central Park ice skating ring) the same story, the trail of evidence is clear, bankruptcies, leaving contractors, workers business partners high dry while he protects his loot and then tells the IRS he made no profit at all.

Fraud, legal suits to not pay up, shady dealings, bankruptcies.

LOL! Those are all cute stories but they come from the Liberal Lying media which hates Trump and anyone who does not agree with them politically. They spewed the same venom and lies at
George Bush Sr, Richard Nixon and GW Bush. Hey, genius! When you make accusations, it helps to support them with evidence. If you don't , nobody will believe you.


Yes that is the cult chant, anything that contradicts the leader from any source be it media or science or life time experts in their fields are lying.


A cultivated ignorance, almost a glorification of it is one of the lasting legacies of the Trump Presidency.

Trump used it as a tool to move his liabilities to his contractors, smaller creditors and not pay his workers time and time again.

A good businessman builds business that last, grow, and lift up everyone connected with it.
 
And this reveals one of the ideological flaws in so many Americans thought about politics and civilisation.

A good business will be a good political leader? That is a simplistic idea. A country is a civilisation not just a market and political leadership at the national level takes more skills that prosaic and paint by number business bean counting skills.

Lincoln was a bad businessman yet a great President.

Herbert Hoover was a good businessman and a shit President.

Carter good businessman but a failed President.

Trump on the other hand has been bad at both.

I disagree. Lincoln, in my view, was incompetent and ruthless. He could have avoided all the death and destruction of the Civil War by being more patient with the Confederacy. 2/3 of the Civil War deaths were from disease. Lincoln could have stopped that with better sanitation and medical care.
That damn war cost 600,000 lives and we gained nothing from it.

Herbert Hoover did the best he could with what he had. In 1929, nobody knew much about Economics and much of the Depression was beyond his control. Trump has been very good. with a booming economy and stockmarket and great treatment of minorities.


There are few historians that would agree with your Lincoln assessment, indeed had the Confederacy broke off the evidence of disfunction during the crises of war reveals it would not have held together in the long run. The likely future of the Confederacy would have been the various states breaking apart, perhaps fighting each other and with their limited export economy not evolving during the industrial revolution, wallowing in poverty and subject to predatory powers.

Hoover completely mismanaged the Great Depression. He showed no leadership or rhetorical skill in trying to give people hope, his reflexes were primitive, such as when he authorised the attack on the bonus marchers and he had absolutely no understanding of macro economics, that a global deflationary collapse required government stimulus.

And no one in Trumps family took billions from China

"Hunter Biden was involved with the cross-border equity consortium in question, but the $1.5 billion was what the fund hoped to raise in 2014 for investments. It is not the value of the management company in which Hunter Biden now holds a minority share."

As for Trump he has NOT done what no other President has done, put his finances in a blind trust and keeps earning foreign money as President. Including Turkey, who moved in to take territory from the Kurds when Trump betrayed them.

Trump's family did not take money from China, Trump did himself.

Before the Presidency Trump did borrow money from China.

But then he borrows from everyone.

Triggered idiots are my passion


Apparently research and political reality are not.
Actually I bought Apple Google and Netflix while you bought beer

Enjoy welfare sucker


You do know eating an apple while you google is not investing right?
You stay there in denial

You also founded Alibaba with Jack Ma and drilled for oil with J. D. Rockefeller.
No oil but I do own some Alibaba.

Does that bother you?

Bought it thru a 401k invested in emerging markets. Got tencent and Taiwan semi too

Also own a percent share of the Micex

You also bought Park Place on the Monopoly board but could not pull off Boardwalk.
Welfare slobs like you are better off in denial........................


Hey I think while you are posting here you may have missed a call from Jeff Bezos who wants your advise on expanding Amazon into a moon colony venture.
I do not own Amazon..............................


Wow, a moment of mental clarity.
But like I said I own Apple and Google.

How bout you


You own both of those companies?


Paging Doctor Freud, paging Doctor Freud we have a delusional relapse.
Lots of people own both Apple and Google.........................

Yawn.

You and Elon Musk are also discussing your vacation to Mars.
You do know that Apple and Google are publicly traded companies I assume.

No you might not.

Invest in Wonka bars

A PhD is a terrible thing to waste here.

But you continue on at will

It is a boring conversation, so of course I do not take it seriously. I do not care what you claim you invested in. I have investments too (indeed all working Australians do through superannuation) that adds nothing to this conversation.

It is like some kid with adults discussing the President, the kid jumps on and down saying "look at me, look at me I can ride a bike."

As opposed to FDR's handling of The Great Depression? Amazing that previous global deflationary collapses rebounded despite a lack of "government stimulus", Jake! Did you want to take a crack at explaining how that could have possibly happened?

Nice try, he borrowed too much and did not cost profit expectations competently and then stiffed everyone around him. This has been widely known and investigated long before he become President.

And he has done it time and time again.

The "The Long Depression of 1873 to 1889 lasted 16 years had severe effects not seeing a recovery until 1896, that is 23 years. And it was stimulus that ended it, the Klondike Gold Rush pumped gold through the economy which the government purchased to stop deflation. Indeed when the depression first started the congress passed stimulus that would have stemmed it but Grant vetoed it thus like Hoover igniting a prolonged economic decline.

It is interesting to note one of the first countries to recover from the Great Depression was Nazi Germany. Hitler injected a tidal wave of stimulus into the economy (without nationalising industry) in military spending and national infrastructure works as well as mandating certain worker entitlements.

FDR stemmed the collapse and had employment rising significantly and economic growth with his New Deal spending but in 1937 on the advise Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, FDR decided to tackle the country's exploding deficits. Over two years, FDR slashed government spending 17 percent. The country witnessed as a consequence growing unemployment again economic contraction, though not at the levels under Hoover.

It was the massive government stimulus spending ramping up and during World War Two that saw the economy recover, not an organic recovery form the private sector.

Would you like to explain what happened in 1920? Where was the "stimulus" there?

Are you claiming that Hoover didn't use massive amounts of government stimulus spending? Gee, Jake...ever hear of the Hoover Dam? How do you think that came to be built?
 
Hoover did not provide any serious relief until 1931 and even then he only created "the President’s Emergency Committee for Employment (PECE), later renamed the President’s Organization of Unemployment Relief (POUR). In keeping with Hoover’s distaste of what he viewed as handouts, this organization did not provide direct federal relief to people in need. Instead, it assisted state and private relief agencies, such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, YMCA, and Community Chest. Hoover also strongly urged people of means to donate funds to help the poor, and he himself gave significant private donations to worthy causes. But these private efforts could not alleviate the widespread effects of poverty."

Then Congress "pushed for a more direct government response to the hardship. In 1930–1931, it attempted to pass a $60 million bill to provide relief to drought victims by allowing them access to food, fertilizer, and animal feed. Hoover stood fast in his refusal to provide food, resisting any element of direct relief."

Hoover did not authorise any significant spending until 1932 as the election neared and he could see the consequence of his economic failures.

Too little too late.

 


Biden says "the era of shareholder capitalism is over." Now let's see anybody say he is not a socialist. HAHAHAHAHAHHA!

77mil don’t care. He is a nice harmless man. Aka a corpse. And fits the new everyone gets a trophy world that leftists have created.

As for FDR having employment "rising significantly" with his New Deal spending? Have you ever heard of the term "job sharing", Jake? You might want to educate yourself on what it means and how FDR used it!
 
The Hoover Dam was approved well before the Great Depression under Coolidge and was not a response to the depression, it was simply named after Hoover when construction actually began in 1930.

Not a very modest act but I guess Hoover needed some self esteem.

" On December 21, 1928, President Coolidge signed the bill authorizing the dam."

"The new Reconstruction Finance Corporation, established in January 1932, lent tax dollars to bail out American banks and businesses. The Emergency Relief and Construction Act, enacted in July 1932, broadened the agency’s lending power to include financing state and local public works projects.

Hoover also approved substantial farm subsidy increases, eased requirements for the issuing of Federal Reserve notes and established the Federal Home Loan Bank Board to support mortgages. In an attempt to pay for the new programs, Hoover signed the Revenue Act of 1932, which doubled the estate tax, hiked corporate tax rates and increased the top personal tax rate from 25 to 63 percent."

FDR ran against Hoover accusing him of out of control government spending! Do you REALLY want to argue American history with a American who majored in history?

The labour statistics care clear from that time if you care to research.
