Presidential Election 2024

Truth social is a good example of something that is likely to fail. It was launched at a time that censorship on social media was a big deal.

Elon buying Twitter in retrospect, actually hurt any chance truth social had to get any major market share.

It's his product and he owns the majority stock. It's going to fail.

Do I think he doesn't know what he's doing because of it? No. He saw an opportunity to make an alternative social media network to the others. Everyone acted like they wanted it, too.

The fact is, the giants like Facebook and Twitter have been around so long, that even Trump and censorship can't dethrone them as it currently stands.

True he won’t have the lion’s share of the marketplace there, but the question that remains can the niche market be enough for it to remain marketable? If not marketable worthy of its continuance?

So I'll level with you...

I think the high / broadstroke Tariffs Trump has discussed are merely a political talking point to appease swing voters in the Rust Belt. And per polling, it's working well enough that he has a real shot at flipping all 3 blue wall states again.

But realistically, if he wins, we'll probably just see a continuation of what he did in his first term

And to be fair, I feel the same way about Kamala's price controls proposal.

You don’t think she will attack the free market with price control regulations?

Not with Elon buying Twitter, I don't think so.

Trump is stuck with the majority share bouncing between 2-3 billion losses and gains every other week. Not a great situation for him to be in. But if he sells off, the company completely dies.

Do you know why nobody F'd with us when Trump was president? Because they know he doesn't BS. Tariffs can work the same way

A billionaire letting companies that aren't as profitable as they should be crash and burn for tax write offs is part of understanding what he is doing.

Why try to save a sinking ship and pay taxes when you can claim it as a loss instead?

The man bankrupted a casino…. A CASINO!!!! It helps to also inflate the cost of said properties when writing off the losses in taxes while also deflating the value while you own them each year on your tax claims. You know, like he did with all his properties in New York and was found liable of FRAUD by a jury of his peers for doing just that. You may be on to something there! Now THAT is smart if you don’t get caught! Boy oh boy that sounds like someone I want running my country!

There were two pointless wars initiated that the US stuck their hands in during Biden's presidency
Inflation was not resolved and the national housing situation is an ignored nightmare
Money is going to the wrong places in high amounts, and everyone suffers under these plans Kamala wants who wishes to ever retire and not return to work.

I don't see how that's better than a slighter tank to our economy that MUST happen under any circumstance. Reality check is we are headed for a recession worldwide and there's an option that won't crush us here as badly.

We weathered inflation better than most industrialized countries. All of these things are world wide problems not just the USA. Did Biden screw up all this for the world somehow also? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a lot of the places that faired the worst from these problems were ones run by far right wing administrations like Venezuela ect.

Yes, the Harris/Biden administration screwed up the entire world.

Excellent point and well thought out argument. Just like every rebuttal to what I’ve said. The clown emojis and thumb downs have been excellent points and hard to argue against but I’m doing my best. You guys are really giving me a tough time backing up my point of view with your amazing counter arguments…
