"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."

I am LIVING for this Cardi B trial. They could never make me hate Miss Belcalis. She said that lady was "security heavy" 😭 if I sued someone for 25 million and they called me "security heavy" during the trial, under oath?! I would die of embarrassment right there. 😂💀

That's his plan. Bankrupt democratic cities by holding back funding and creating chaos. Then he blames them for the problems he caused. Everything he fucks up he always blames on someone else. Every success he claims is what someone else did.

Republican policies (all republicans are responsible by agreement or capitulation) bolster large corps at the expense of small businesses. Tariffs, deportation, inflation and tax reform…small businesses bear much more of the burden and can least afford to weather it out. Oligarchs vs. everyone else.

Wait, the actual people of DC, the vast majority of them anti-MAGA, many of them fired from their jobs, don’t want to go out and frolic in a militarized zone?? Go fucking figure.

How could have he have any business acumen when he has gone bankrupt six times? If this going to cement in people's mind that Rs are NEVER good for the economy? Probably not.

He bankrupted A CASINO! Ya know, the business that people walk into and hand you their $$ and get NOTHING in return. Oh…and many are sadly addicted to the experience. Even the mafia knows you’re a special kind of stupid if you over leverage a casino.

Trump has never cared about small businesses. He always took advantaged of small business owners short changing or not paying them and then threatening legal action. When will people wake up?

Small business is really what has been driving the economy with support of imports. Businesses are suffering because of the tariffs.
