Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin donated $100 million to Republican candidates in 2024, now he’s complaining that the American “brand” is being eroded.

He wouldn't be able to articulate what the brand is except for some bromides about freedom (in markets) and being "open for business"—basically anything that makes it easier for him to get richer. They actually think that if it's good for them, it must be good for the country.
When he puts it that way, eroding it doesn’t sound so bad. Kind of like eroding the Tesla brand.
Ahhh…I remember when America was a country. A democratic one too!
So gross. A lot of self proclaimed patriots did the math and came to the conclusion that it would be in their financial interests to allow Prez Caligula destroy America.
The Billionare class sold out the USA via Trump to Russia for some tax cuts. They have enough money to ride out whatever turmoil and will just buy assets at a discount.
Pretty sad when someone reduces an entire country--with all its people, culture, landscape, nuances--to a "brand." What a narrow, restricted life they must lead.
Uh, I would argue the “American brand” was eroded the day trump was re-elected. If he played any part in that, it makes him responsible for what he is complaining about now.
Next time someone tells you that the captains of industry have above-average judgment, just remember the guys like this who told us in January that Trump's return was going to turn the U.S. economy into a "rocketship." Now, they're begging their orange idiot not to destroy America.
Ken Griffin should pat himself on the back for assisting the orange buffoon in making the USA 20% poorer in four weeks and for putting the “brand” of the USA at risk.
Trump campaign: Here's all the shit we're going to do
Everyone with a brain: This is going to wreck America
Trump: [wrecks America]
America's "smartest" billionaires:
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
America's "smartest" billionaires today:
Genius billionaires chose to back an obvious arrogantly ignorant, childish, malignantly narcissistic, corrupt, lazy, petty convicted felon because they care about 1 thing: their insatiable greed. They wanted trump’s totally unnecessary tax cuts even if the result would likely be a fascist autocracy.
Are you trying to tell me that insulated from reality old rich white guys can do and say whatever they want and never have to suffer the consequences of their actions or words cuz we live in a racist system who has a two tier system of justice?

Trump’s …BULLSHIT TARIFFS!
Eroding the American “brand!”
Remember to… THANK A REPUBLICAN!
Placed the least qualified people on the board, and appointed someone who actively wants to put the corporation out of buissenuiss as the CEO
Americans might be surprised to learn that the current state of America is very 'on brand' to the rest of the world.
