why would anyone go into business with this man?

[–] bilboswaggings@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

Because they don't see past the facade

Fascists who are either stupid enough to think they can "handle" Trump, or who are stupid enough to not understand why you shouldn't be doing business with him

To add to this sentiment.

You should read “the rise and fall of the third Reich“ by William Schirer.

The powers that be in Germany at the time thought they could control Hitler. Hitler was a complete buffoon.

None of that stopped Hitler from taking control.

Yep, this is why it's so dangerous when people think that Trump would never be a successful dictator because he's such a moron – I'd argue that the majority of dictators have been buffoons, but that's exactly what their appeal is. Violent idiots look at them and go "he's like me! He says it like it is!"

They all get exploited once, ussually. Then sued, or something. Trump should have 0 credibility anywhere by now.

Same reason i used to date unstable women. "I'm an idiot and itll never happen to me."
