top CEOs agree: Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles
“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about”
if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
that’s always been Little Donny Convict’s thing: gather a dozen or so guys in thousand-dollar suits, sit them down and spin fantasies about magnificent golden towers and beautiful golf courses and luxurious casinos until they’re hooked, and can’t wait to sign their name on the dotted lines.
shut up and take my money!
of course, it was always supreme scammery. investors lost their shirts as one casino after another went tits up — but that was part of the plan. Donny always managed to be the one guy to walk away with millions — and then it was off to find the next roomful of eager patsies.
baffle them with bullshit. fake it ’til you make it.
unfortunately for Donny Convict, all that magic has gone bye-bye. a couple of days ago, he sat down with a bunch of CEOs and all he managed to do was mystify the shit out of them.
New York Time business reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin: “it was interesting. I spoke to a number of the CEOs who were at that meeting yesterday, a number of whom frankly had been predisposed to former president Trump, and they walked away from that meeting a bit disheartened, a bit questioning — I don’t want to say his mental fitness, but questioning just how meandering. in some cases, one said to me, he could not keep a thought straight. he would go in one direction, and then he would go in another direction, and that there wasn’t necessarily a throughline to the way he spoke, or what even he was talking about. at one point his discussed his plans to bring the corporate tax rate down from 21 percent to 20 percent, and apparently at some point in the meeting was asked about why he had chosen 20 percent, and he said ‘well, it’s a round number’ and I think that unto itself had a number of CEOs shaking their heads.”
“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals, that person said.
that these CEOs were shocked to find that Trump is a gibbering loon raises an obvious question: where have these people been? do they live under a fucking rock?
no — not under a rock, but in a bubble. CEOs exist in their own insulated world. these corner-office honchos are not consuming news the way you or I do. they’re not scrolling through social media and seeing clips of Donny babbling incoherently. the only news these captains of industry care about is financial news, and they have assistants who curate what they see. oh, they might glance at the headlines of The New York Times, but what are they going to learn from that? that Joe Biden is old?
thanks, media!
but back to Donny. yeah, he’s fucking losing it. recall what Trump biographer Michael Wolff said about what Donny’s like in private.
When he’s not performing, Wolff said, Trump is totally incoherent.
that’s the Trump the CEOs got to see, the incomprehensible doofus — the same blithering dipshit who showed up at Congress the other day and rambled for over an hour.
As one source in the room put it, Trump was “rambling.”
“Like talking to your drunk uncle at the family reunion,” this source said.
he’s the same sundowning diaperload who spoke at a hate-rally last night and — after bragging one more tiresome time about being able to point to a picture of an elephant — couldn’t remember the name of the drunk pill-popper who administered the test.
“I think he should take a cognitive test like I did. I took a cognitive test and I aced it. Doc Ronny — Doc Ronny Johnson. does everyone know Ronny Johnson?”
no, no one knows Ronny Johnson — because the name of the guy who was Trump’s White House physician is Ronny Jackson.
Donny’s shrunken brain can no longer form coherent thoughts, and he meanders from one disjointed delusion to the next. this is going to be a real problem for him at the June 27th debate.
CNN has finalized their rules.
There will be no opening statements. President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will each have two minutes to answer questions — followed by one-minute rebuttals and responses to the rebuttals. Red lights visible to the candidates will flash when they have five seconds left, and turn solid red when time has expired. And each man’s microphone will be muted when it is not his turn to speak.
Team Trump is hoping for the best, but good fucking luck with that.
“He views his rallies as debate prep,” said Marc Lotter, who was an aide on Mr. Trump’s 2020 campaign and now works for a conservative nonprofit group. The challenge for Mr. Trump, Mr. Lotter said, will be to tighten answers to a time limit. “If they’re literally going to cut your mic, you’ve got to hit your marks,” he said.
oh please — no way is Donny going to “tighten answers” and “hit his marks.” that’s a pipe dream. Donny won’t be able to constrain himself to a two-minute answer — it takes the guy at least three minutes just to get to the point, if he ever gets there at all. what do you think is going to happen the first time that red light flashes and Donny gets cut off mid-sentence and realizes he’s talking into a dead mic? he’s going to melt all the way down, that’s what’s going to happen. he’s going to throw a shit-fit. he’s going to come unglued — and when his mic is turned back on for the one-minute rebuttal, he’s going to spend that entire 60 seconds whining about how unfair and rigged everything is.
mark my words.
it’s going to be a five-alarm shit-show, and millions of voters will be watching.
I’m still giving 4-to-1 odds he weasels out.
Yet, every single one of these business leaders will end up voting for him - despite what they have witnessed in the past four years and what they know today.
