Those that believe he is such a 4D chess long term strategic thinker - yet he can’t comprehend the long term strategic benefits of stopping the spread of AIDS in Africa??
It's almost funny watching the die hards twist themselves into a pretzel trying to explain away the insanity. It's so bad this time that they're saying the insanity we've all watched for 10 years now is new, and it's just an act. Gaslighting 101
baseline 10% tariffs will be effective on 5 April, reciprocal 9 April. then retaliatory china tariffs on 10 April. if the the con man cancels/postponed by 9 April, it can be staged performance.
he has infantile omnipotence personality disorder. no sense of right or wrong, doing anything to satisfy his omnipotence, no empathy for any unless it affects his personal gain. simply put, mentally ill.
It will also have achieved what I believe he's doing, manipulating the markets to open up buying opportunities. Tank the stock, prices drop, so buy all you can, rescind tariffs, stock price rebounds, sell for the profits. Wash, rinse, repeat. Manipulating the markets here & abroad is illegal, right?
Unless the rest of the world (former US allies) are drawing up an agreement to circumnavigate the US all together. The € is already being put forward as the alternative to the $.
Can anyone explain how those who apparently know how to make a mountain of money automatically believe they are experts in everything? Yeah, you Bill Ackman.
Can you imagine what genuine political ball-breakers like Putin and Xi Jinping are thinking when they are sat opposite a guy who looks like he's been waterboarded in molasses?
But everyone who's paid attention already knew he was a crazy sociopath. In other words... the world is tired of his nonsense and are going to figure out how to deal around him, and us. There will be no 'negotiation' -- that's for cowardly law firms, media companies, universities...
This reads much like "They are mean to you because they like you." When really, whether they like you or not, it means they have issues and you should run the fuck away.
Honestly, @karaswisher.bsky.social, I don't know how you maintained your sanity covering these guys all these years. I'm reading their takes on the economy and the Signal scandal, and I just want to scream into the void. How do these guys manage to get themselves dressed in the morning? Yikes!

Hmmm appears article is gone. Check Philip Low NeuroVigil TechBro once close colleague of Elon Musk. He’s been writing and posting warnings ⚠️ about Musk’s intentions.”The Dark Enlightenment” Technofeudalism an ideology many of these billionaires seriously believe is The Way. Curtis Yarvin a “guru.”
Everyone seems to be trying to understand and analyze why Trump/Musk and administration do what they are doing, yet THIS possibility doesn’t seem to have broken through despite how it aligns with their actions🤷♀️. Cryptocurrency another major piece of their agenda. Trump all in.
Yea not an easy sell nor easy to carry the weight of that possibility. It sounds “crazy” yet heard multiple TechBros and Project 2025 ideologues verbalize and write about their intentions/plans. These Technocrats particularly Peter Thiel hang in the background. Disturbing sociopaths.
So that's where they're drawing the line for their last stand?
"Don't worry about Trump actually being an economically illiterate buffoon. He's only pretending to be an economically illiterate buffoon as a negotiating tactic."
Copy and pasted "helfn vi a toytn bankes" for pronunciation and fell down a rabbit hole. I chose Translate and got the screen grabbed attached picture. Then I looked up the Yiddish translation and got "shout your head off, protest in vain." I like your imagery involving leeches and corpses better
That simply makes you unpredictable to the other side and can get you a suboptimal outcome. The best negotiations aren’t zero sum games. What institution gave Ackman an MBA and when are they revoking it out of embarrassment?
Social media is making it easy for future generations to study this moment in history. I'm assuming there is going to be future generations. I wouldn't say it's a sure thing at this point in history,
I will truly not miss the day when Bill Ackman crawls back into his billionaire woodwork, where he can whine to his heart's delight about the world's worst antisemitism: at America's most elite universities.
Not with, say, PBs or Three Percenters.
Ackman caring less about them than Penn is a tell.
@BillAckman...suggestion;
"If you actually wish to believe in truth...really look and you shall see, 'Your Emperor isn't wearing any clothes' ( new or otherwise) just sayin'🌻
Peace from Canada 🇨🇦
Insanity is a defense, while knowingly causing intentional harm is proof he is a criminal, belongs in jail awaiting criminal court trials...in addition to the charges he avoided by rigging this last election for the 4 yrs he claimed he won during his COVID he used for revenge knowing he'd lose 2020
Another clueless billionaire who doesn’t see us as people with agency, but just commodities that can be bought and paid for. Or as Elon likes to call us, NPCs (non-player characters).
They can fuck off.
You can see there how Trump & Co and their enablers don’t want there to be media coverage of protesters. What a bunch of wimps who can’t tolerate the exercise of and coverage of the exercise of 1st Amendment rights.
Being nice cost nothing, but shutting up is free, also. He should really learn that. Also, better to keep your mouth closed & let everyone think you’re a fool than open it & confirm their suspicions. This administration is nothing but liars & destroyers.
If he continues to hit their bank, they will turn on him quickly. I guarantee this past week and his comments about tanking the market were a wake-up call.
If you Google "Donald Trump on Fox and Friends in person", you will see quite a few photos of barely disguised black pad under him, and Trump wearing a black or navy suit to try to hid that it's there.
I dunno. Look how well unpredictably insane isolationism worked out for North Korea. Hell, their per capita electric bill has to be like 1/100 of ours!
This fuckin guy. Why is it that everyone who drinks the kool aid for their own selfish reasons then has to act like there's always a good explanation for any blatant fuck up of the admin. Dems aren't this blindly loyal to their admins. They constantly criticized. They don't worship their presidents.
This is what happens when you soiled yourself in public months ago, try to make up an excuse for why you didn't actually soil yourself and really are a genius, keep soilling yourself and then have to keep coming up with bigger lies to keep up the facade that you're still a genius...
The problem is that if the president really IS crazy when do you decided that it's not 4D chess he's playing, but more like 2D checkers and boot him out of the WH?
Believe me, this man is NOT a 4D chess master.
He is an incompetent arsehole who doesn't have a clue what he is doing.
Amazing how people think being "crazy" or unpredictable in a negotiation is a good thing? The other party has no idea what you are doing and can not trust you to stand by anything
That only works when the other side has no choice but to deal with you, crazy or not. The USA has taken it's top dog position for granted. The world is starting to realize it might be better to go with smaller but more stable than big and chaotic.
Some intrepid reporter needs to ask Ackman(Or any other prominent MAGAt pundit or suckup) which he prefers to lick, Stumpy's wingtips, or the eternal MAGAt favorite, the golf shoes.
I hold him in particular contempt. Thank you so much Bill Ackman for the attack on American universities. If he's such a gung-ho American, why is his company headquartered in Guernsey?
Yep. Technocrats who financed and put in JD Vance are drooling 🤤 enacting their Technofeudalism fever dream utopia where they are Kings and the rest of us Serfs. Or worse.
“The Dark Enlightenment”
Ackman is showing yet again that he’s a trader at heart and can’t be a Warren Buffet despite his desire to be that in the investment world.
People who have common sense don’t want to enter into long-term deals with crazy people/crazy mgmt. Investing in crazy doesn’t provide crazy good returns.
These hedge fund guys are idiots. Having all that money goes to their heads. Bill exposed his wife who plagarized her dissertation at MIT by attacking other women presidents. He just doesn't get the message to STFU.
When I first thought much about Bill Ackman - I believe in context of his battle with Herbalife - I thought he had some principles
But then came his war on higher education, DEI, free speech & (shades of Elon?) his own daughter, denouncing her beliefs in public. Ugh. Shoulda known MAGA was next!
Friend, his posing as the champion-of-the-common-people during his failed war on Herbalife was only to try to drive down the stock he was short a billion dollars of.
yes, bill, you make a good point, the world should just act like it's normal negotiating behavior, not take it seriously, not react, and just take it because it'll all blow over.
Ackman irks me beyond pale. You should look at his proposal on the GSEs. It’s gonna be the biggest grift ever. The GSEs owe 190 billion and he (and others) want to have the treasury “deem it paid” and resell the GSEs to the public. Two disasters at once. It’s a good story.

Damage has been done, former allies now distrustful.
DJT is about to find out.
"Don't worry about Trump actually being an economically illiterate buffoon. He's only pretending to be an economically illiterate buffoon as a negotiating tactic."
For those who don’t know Yiddish, it’s “like leeches will help a dead man”… a lost cause …
I can't stand this dude.
Nobody asked Bill ANYTHING.
What works is if they think you’ll take it all the way to trial etc.,
Not with, say, PBs or Three Percenters.
Ackman caring less about them than Penn is a tell.

He wanted to say retarded but held back.
Negotiation is normally an effort to find a common ground, but I don't know, I've never _bankrupted a casino_ before.
Three trillion has been already wiped out from the stock market since 1/20.
They’re all in so deep it’s crazy.
No convincing was necessary.
He has lost $21 per share roughly.
-$400 million......
🤔
Not that NK can buy from the US, but tell that to the penguins on Heard & Mcdonald Islands.
Believe me, this man is NOT a 4D chess master.
He is an incompetent arsehole who doesn't have a clue what he is doing.
And a traitor
I'd gladly pay them a $100 if they did.
Expedites ownership of the country
“The Dark Enlightenment”
I wonder what his message means?
he said students should be put on a list and not allowed to work at companies he invests in
he's a fucking nazi who only believes in free speech for me and not for thee
People who have common sense don’t want to enter into long-term deals with crazy people/crazy mgmt. Investing in crazy doesn’t provide crazy good returns.
I'm realizing now that Republicans are a cult.
That explains the dead eye coma in the house, and the lockstep voting with their demented mob boss.
Truly, they need deprogramming.
I. Just. Can’t. Anymore.
Cults kill.
But then came his war on higher education, DEI, free speech & (shades of Elon?) his own daughter, denouncing her beliefs in public. Ugh. Shoulda known MAGA was next!
because it's everyone's else fault.
