He's disappointed with Democrats. He actively promoted Trump thinking that he was just talking out of his ass. Bill Ackman is a fool with a lot of money...but still a fool. But hey..."my bad."

My bad? Well, at least you can take responsibility for your irresponsible remarks & political affiliation. That's more than can be said about other MAGA people.
The most confounding thing about Trump's wealthy supporters is that they ALWAYS KNEW that he's been lying to them and/or that he's a deluded moron. But somehow they thought they could control him.
OMG - right - "my bad" ???!!! - bc he's a billionaire - won't hurt him in the least.
Ten trillion of wealth wiped out. Bill Ackman:
I’m with Rex.
Thinking of selling some stock and reinvesting. What company manufactures guillotines?
Kamala and Tim warned over and over about tariffs while Trump lied about how they’re taxes on foreign countries, and mainstream media wasn’t interested. So here we are.
Let’s face it. Ackman’s racism got the best of him. He was slobbering so hard over MAGA’s plan to end DEI that when he heard tariffs all he heard was “end DEI”. The prospect of regaining full white privilege was just too enticing for him.
Can’t believe folks trust this guy with their money, but then again IMO the finance sector makes its money through rent seeking and using the government as a backstop
If only there was a record of his words ... going back to the 80's www.cbc.ca/news/canada/..., and a press that would have reported this, instead of her emails ...

So much evidence about the real-world value of Harvard degrees. That diploma seems mainly to confer the conviction that the bearer is a Very Special Boy
Ackman has shown himself to be a fool. He's a bit like a quarterback who was great on the field but in other respects is a moron, and I'm not so sure he was ever so great in that respect, either.
This is what you get when you say everything he says you don't like is a joke and to not be so serious...but then say ...well he said he would do that so stop liberal tears. What does anyone want to GUESS what the president means and doesn't?
I am a retired old lady who took an econ class in college cuz it was required. I also remembered his first administration. This was completely foreseeable.
He assumed! What did you learn about assuming in elementary school? It wasn’t disappointment about Dems. He wanted to punish the progressive wing. Another expression I learned was don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Ackman the noseless
It's past time we realize: BILLIONAIRES ARE NOT GENIUSES. THEY USUALLY ARE MEDIOCRE *FUCKS* WHO GOT WAY MORE LUCKY THAN THEY EVER DESERVED.
Generally with inherited wealth.
How many times does Trump have to “talk out his ass” before people start accepting that he actually believes the things he says? He’s not joking. He’s not trolling. You are coping.

The key word is “rationality “. When has Trump ever been rational? NEVER!!
I hear this "disappointment" with Dems a lot. "You gave us no choice but to vote for Trump." Uh, no. There actually was a choice. We just had a big national choice called an election, in which another, completely not-crazy, highly qualified candidate was running against Trump.
All this from Ackman because Biden once called him an asshole in public...https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/06/biden-owned-a-billionaire-who-mocked-him-over-his-late-son.html
It makes me so mad when guys like this say "this was not foreseeable" when it was in fact both foreseeable and explicitly foreseen by millions of people
this is just one big market manipulation for trump and friends to make money and consolidate their power. Anything that he and his enablers say is just pure bullshit
He won't have a lot of money for long. I mean, he has to take his medicine and all. 😁
He called for implosion of Democratic Party just after 11/2024 results: bsky.app/profile/670r...
And he celebrated after Trump won: www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

the best "shitty" cabinet ever a US President could assemble and our billionaires were trilled and supporting them - and most of GOP voted for them near 100% to confirm: bsky.app/profile/cram...
Why is he “disappointed” with Democrats? Because we were right?
“My fucking bad”. What the actual fuck.
He's giving "I think the stripper likes me" vibes
Riighhht Bill, bc "rationality" and Trump have been inextricably linked forever???!?!! These business bros are just as dumb as the orange idiot they worship.
I will never stop being amazed by the number of people who weighed their support for Trump on "he won't really do what he keeps saying he will do."
PT Barnum said it best, a sucker born every minute. Some of his supporters used to be smart people. They caught brain rot or something
Too many people looked at Trump 1.0 and expected the same bumbling incompetence, without realizing the preparation that has gone into Trump 2.0
This is what my 12 yr old says
If only he had some parallels from history to go on, like German business leaders assuming Hitler wouldn’t do anything crazy.
They are just spoiled brats with way too much money and we need to take that money away from them in a very Progressive fashion.. Ike was pretty Progressive on taxes at the top
One question I would have is why anybody would give a fuck what Bill Ackman assumed about, erm, macroeconomic policy. This culture's fascination with business "leaders" is truly morbid. Even worse is the attention to Jamie Damon, who is in the news reversing himself with zero self awareness.
disappointment with dems is fair bsky.app/profile/jonr...
Because in America your bank account number is seen is an equivalent to your IQ. Idiocracy.
So many phucking morons...
Unfortunately, this thinking also enables him to just support the next Republican, because that one will be rational...
