This was in contrast to Trump’s meeting earlier in the day with House Republicans on Capitol Hill. Attendees at that meeting told CNBC that the former president was animated and engaged and that Trump received several rounds of applause in separate meetings Thursday with both House and Senate Republicans.
It’s like North Korea in the GOP. If you aren’t clapping maniacally and openly sobbing in His Presence you will be primaried.
Also, sundowning
No shit?
This article could have written in 2016 other than referring to the dumbass as being a former president.
This comment adds nothing, which seems to be your deal, Trump has declined, it would be noticeable if the DNC hadn’t put up someone who’s literally PAINFUL to listen to speak because he’s overtly about to die evermore over time
Another day, another fascist account to block.
Par for the course.
“But he says he’d cut my taxes 5% so I’m giving him $100 million in dark money,” they continued.
That is the real issue.
The dumb ones will. The smart ones know that demagoguery and authoritarianism can impact trade and currency valuation, and investing in them is a great way to lose a lot of money.
But that’s in the future. I want that tax cut now!
Some of them care more about power than even their own quality of life
It’s funny that you think there’s smart ones. Haha!
Not every billionaire thinks Trump is the best way to get richer. Many think he’s a good way to lose a lot of money.
Greed gonna greed. Some billionaires think Trump will make them money, others think the opposite.
Don’t confuse intelligence with greed.
Trump is bad news for stability.
Yet, he will happily carve out ginormous advantages for his big backers. So they don’t give a shit if the castle falls as long as they can loot the treasury and get out first.
I wish your faith in the oligarch class was justified.
Nope. The rich are greedy and I’m just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.

… the lion’s share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political givers—the top 100 families—have flowed to Republican candidates and groups.
In the “hard money” category—direct donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sums—Republicans took in 27 percent more from the Top 100 families than Democrats did ($85.9 million vs. $67.9 million).
But looking at all federal contributions, including “soft money,” a category that tallies the generous donations allowed to party committees and the unrestricted contributions to SuperPACs, Republicans raked in a whopping $508 million from the Top 100—triple the Democrats’ $169 million take.
Can’t cut taxes if you don’t pay taxes to begin with. Does not compute.
Of course he will save the RICH a lot of money but the majority of working folks will pay dearly.
Don’t care what any CEO says or does.
Don’t sit this one out.
#VOTE BLUE
I mean, that’s been the case for at least 20 years.
- Nothing new wrt Trump, so idk why CEOs feign surprise.
- Biden policies are, for the most part, tepid, but I’m the current political and media cycle, whatever, I guess.
- What exactly qualifies this as "news?”
So, same as 2020? And 2016?
It isn’t like he’s going to be the one running anything except his mouth if he’s elected.
Trump’s energy in the meeting was also noticeably subdued, according to two people who were in the room. At no time during his remarks was there any noticeable applause for Trump, two attendees told CNBC.

Guess the Adderall wore off and they didn’t want to give him any more so near bed time.
The first meeting was with his Republican lickspittles so of course they’re going to call him engaged an animated and clap for his stupid ideas.
This story keeps appearing again and again in various forms since 2016. Unfortunately, many people don’t care at all.
So same as always?
Never did
The man is 78 years old. He shouldn’t be president.
And neither should Biden because he’s fucking older!
Wait, I never thought about this!!! /s
Yup, but we’ll have Trump if we don’t vote for Biden. We really need to have age limits on who can be president.
It’s even more funny because far lower government positions have iron clad retirement ages for example federal correctional officers and probation officers retire at like 55 or 60 because of how stressful the job is.
Right? We have an age limit on the lower end at 35 years old minimum, but there’s no cap on the other end? It’s ridiculous.
One of the two will be President in 2025. And I just don’t buy the ‘Biden is slow because he’s older.’ In fact, I’m not voting against Trump exclusively. I am actually voting for Biden, and that link is why you should as well.
I’m going to vote for Biden because he’s going to be a better president than Trump, but that’s still doesn’t mean that either one of them should be president.
Retirement age is 65 in America and as low as 55 For various government employees and high stress positions, why should the presidency be any different?
