Donald Trump’s claim he would invest £1bn in a golf resort was misleading, according to the man who helped broker the deal.
Well yeah.
Why have people continually believed this man’s lies and fraud for decades now? So many people who should know better.
He has fucked over everyone he could his whole life but so many people seem to think, “well he won’t fuck me over.”
Because the secret truth of the world is: rich people are the dumbest motherfuckers on this planet because they’ve been challenged the least, yet moronic humans CONSTANTLY assume they must be rich because they “earned it”.
The problem is with human stupidity.
I don’t know that ‘stupid’ is the right word. I think it’s arrogance and ignorance that no one could possibly cheat them because they’re rich and powerful. They might be smart in other ways, but their narcissism makes them make stupid choices.
Yea that’s fair. I do tend to use generic terms like “stupid” when a decision is so asinine as to be a stupid decision regardless of motivation … but intent always matters.
Let’s file this under N for No Shit.
Also, I doubt they were hoodwinked by Trump. They were probably hoodwinked by some high up official who fucking knew Trump wouldn’t be good for it but got all the kickbacks ahead of time.
Promised kickbacks, but also never got them.
Cause even people who work for him get screwed.
No, I actually believe he “pays” his kickbacks, except never in a way that actually costs him money.
I’m sure he gives his benefactors free memberships in his country clubs, free stays at his properties, government positions, private sector positions in his companies, and more importantly, his other allies companies.
SCOTUS appointments didn’t cost him a dime, but earned him the undying loyalty of the federalist and most of the GOP.
He wheels and deals favors, not cash. And ever since he took the GOP and the country by the balls, he hasn’t even bothered with the favors part unless he really has to.
Can confirm, live nearby to where it happened and was aware of all the shit going down at the time… Trumps planning permission was denied initially until the local government came in and forced it through anyway.
When you trust a liar, you get lied to. You knew who he was.
Breaking news: career criminal defrauds an entire country; said country completely blindsided
I know this all happened before Trump got into politics, but it still seems like a strange thing to be surprised by.
Trump lied. Film at 11.
