The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.
Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.
Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?
I liked the part where he said that theres not much money in broadcast news in Britain, unlike in the states. Sort of framed the perspectives in a great way.
That’s the one group I don’t understand, the finance guys, business owners, stock analysts, etc. How can they possibly be on team Trump? You want some certainty in the market, not some dementia patient steering the wheel with Christian Nationalists like Stephen Miller whispering directions in his ear.
Lot of fucking good that’s going to do them when nobody can afford to buy their shit
Who are you going to sell to? Because it ain’t me, and it ain’t 99% of the rest of the American people. So if these rich fucks want to chase their infinite paycheck, they’re going to need some revenue.
“What does The Wall Street Journal know? They’ve been wrong about everything, and so have you by the way, you’ve been wrong,” Trump replied, crossing his arms and curling into his seat.
Ah, yes, the well known unreputable, woke, liberal extremist publication, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal.
For some of the ultra-wealthy (Theil, Altman, Andreessen, Eric Schmidt, OpenAI board, etc), a type of accelerationism seems to be in-vogue (e/acc publicly, and probably accelerationist thoughts like The Dark Enlightenment privately). I think some ultra-wealthy are just trying to hedge their bets (Zuckerberg, and news corporations come to mind), because if Trump does win he’ll definitely try to use his power to harm companies he doesn’t like. I think others, such as Musk, want to be Russian-style oligarchs. I guess all this is kinda related; accelerate into some sort of collapse or chaos, use their positions to maneuver into greater power and become oligarchs or create corporate-city-states, or whatever stupid shit they believe in.
I think finance workers are about as split between the parties as the rest of the population; probably more socially liberal. Small bussiness owners are some of the most ignorant and authoritarian people I’ve encountered.
Also you’ve gotta look at other similar situations in history. Capitalism isn’t doing so great at the moment and that drives people to socialism or barbarism. To the rich who’d spent a long time fighting for capitalism to be unrestrained its an easier leap to fascism than to restraining capitalism.
The harsh truth these people don’t want to accept is their best outcome involves huge taxes on them to fund a revamped new deal alongside strong unions that will force them to pay labor fairly. They’ll still be rich but it’s unlikely they’ll be “quick jaunt to orbit” rich.
To be fair, they are probably biased against him, but that’s just because his plan is fucking trash and even those who would benefit see the long term problems with turnip’s plan to kick off a deflationary spiral.

Much like Ben Shapiro when faced with a conservative who actually has half a fucking brain, he quickly fell to attacking his interlocutor as biased instead of even beginning to understand that maybe he just isn’t as smart as he thinks he is.
The entire party is now the Krugeriest of the Dunnings.
I love this video so much. The interviewer asks Shapiro to defend his stances and Shapiro responds by calling the interviewer a liberal.
“A Georgia law you support would have women who had a miscarriage face trail for potentialy 30 years in jail. Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t know you were A LIBERAL!”
Knowing Neil’s background and then watching this video gives one truly one of the most delicious viewings of all time.
I watched it without and it was still interesting. What’s Neil’s background? Seemed like a super nice old guy.
I believe Andrew Neil himself is rather conservative. So Shapiro accusing him of being a liberal is… even more absurd.

Tax cuts for the rich
Lot of fucking good that’s going to do them when nobody can afford to buy their shit

Ahh but for one glorious quarter, profits will be through the roof. The collapse of democracy afterwards will be an unfortunate market adjustment
Ah the ol’ pump-and-dump-a-roo
That is the nature of greed. There is no thought of the future or consequence.
Because they don’t actually want to own a company. They want to own a kingdom

He creates turmoil and doubt, which is fertile ground for scams and cons.
Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.
A lot of people with a high degree of expertise in one area are deficient in other areas, but wrongly assume they are geniuses in all areas.
I just assume I’m a dipshit across the board so I can be pleasantly surprised any time I do something competently
The richer you are, the more likely you vote republican.
