Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

Putting “Trump” and “business acumen” into the same sentence tells us everything we need to know about Mr. McCabe’s political acumen.

stevenmatheson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I honestly wonder if fleecing 1,000s of people and paying $25 million in damages for his fake Trump University, was part of this "business acumen"?

daseinundsein.bsky.social•1 day ago

“business acumen”? Did he know nothing about Trump’s business dealings? I am sure this IRS guy is not stupid. But then how could he be so clueless? FAFO

urlcannonbear.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Oh, son- he has lousy business acumen, else why would he have several bankruptcies?"

astridmargret.bsky.social•1 day ago

Business acumen???????

The guy with six bankruptcies?? Three of them CASINOS????
I'd die laughing but it's not even remotely funny. 😳

mudsludge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, another one. I honestly feel the least sympathy for this type. I'm sure someone in their life pointed out why voting for Trump as a federal employee was a mistake

So, this employee is unable to: listen, assimilate information, process cognitively. Maybe she should have been let go.

zman1527.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yup, that's his business acumen: idiocy and bankruptcy.

itsnotathing.bsky.social•1 day ago

What in the hell were you thinking? Trump is a wrecking ball.

anna-burgess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did he just not pay attention to what EM did to Twitter? OMFG these people

donotsurrender.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's just funny to read.

Argument mechanic: See, now, I took a look and your problem is with your assumption generator here.

Trump voter:

Argument mechanic: Business acumen? The man lost money running a casino.

Trump voter: Ugh, how much is this gonna cost?

Argument mechanic: Cost you? Or cost the rest of us?

tangledupinpurple.bsky.social•1 day ago

How did so many of us see this grifter for what he actually is? And so many didn't, or refused to? Were they OK with his attacks on others, but thought they would be spared?

gunderson4.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Business acumen.” Propaganda is powerful.

twilie09.bsky.social•1 day ago

We should purge the government of Trump voters. They're all either hateful or dumb, so I don't want them in positions that could impact my life.

jenminicooper.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump has a long history of failed business ventures and bankruptcies. "Acumen" is not the word I'd use to describe it.

rddegrazia.bsky.social•1 day ago

More like serial cons. Trump is not a businessman. He’s a crook.

scottmccaskill.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd even call him a felon.

rddegrazia.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’d be correct 👍

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

And you could do that without fear of a successful defamation lawsuit being brought against you, given that truth is an absolute defense to any claim of defamation.

sadtigerfan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Leopards, faces, etc

christinafromthed.bsky.social•1 day ago

Business acumen?! As if. He inherited wealth and was bailed out of multiple blunders by his rotten daddy. In fact, he destroys everything he touches and now his failures destroy lives. His supporters are fools who revel in cruelty until it hits home.

birchbeach47.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Business acumen”??? I mean are people really that stupid. Look at Trumps business records, his casinos and hotels went bankrupt 6 times!!

😢🤡

jokercowgarage.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was right. This is a result of Trump's business acumen.

et84.bsky.social•1 day ago

😂😂😂 another Waters’ friend?

hollywooddfpd.bsky.social•1 day ago

What he thought was that someone with Trump’s “business acumen” was going to come in and punish the right people.

His business acumen? This guy’s not the brightest bulb in the group anyway.

jbarab.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ok. Can we re-run the election now? If Trump is as popular as he says he is, he shouldn't have any objection. Right?

aristofontes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, when I think about Donald Trump I think about granular attention to detail, nuance, the making of fine distinctions. Quasi-surgical precision.

geiru.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s pretty much quasi-everything. Quasi-president, quasi-father, quasi-businessman,…

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

LOL, we see what you did there.

goatburgler.bsky.social•1 day ago

"[S]omeone with his business acumen" is a remarkable phrase to use given the arch of his career outside of money laundering. They know about all the bankruptcies, right?

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

They think the bankruptcies show he was smart since he was able to walk away from them and still be rich (or so they were told). If they (the bankruptcies) hurt other people, well, MAGAts just don't care.

coldrent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe he should have voted for the party that wanted MORE IRS agents.

dmondom.bsky.social•1 day ago

There’s a non-ridiculous case that The Apprentice is the single most consequential television show ever made

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Which I never saw - not even a snippet - and that I wasn't aware was running for most of the time it was running. Whatever station who ran it owes us.

retinco.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's the thing. I agree that there is government waste. You can't go through government entities like a combine through a wheat field firing people and cutting funding without knowing what that entity actually does. Now, here they are trying to rehire people they fired.

FAFO

andrenaline.bsky.social•1 day ago

A person that dumb should probably not work at the IRS. Good call by DOGE, eh!

tericarter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Both Trump and Musk have publicly exhibited many traits, and business acumen has never been among them.

rddegrazia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Malignant narcissism is the trait they share. I suspect at some point there’s going to be an epic blowout between them.

rddegrazia.bsky.social•1 day ago

When it happens there will be some major fireworks 🧨

randiem.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump needs to sharpen some stones and walk on coals. Or maybe this poor slob does. 🤷‍♀️

yellowpup.bsky.social•1 day ago

This voter does not know business.

versiongrl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Guess it’s good we got rid of a fool like that from govt.

eileenrabil.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is totally on brand for Trump’s “business acumen”.

annala2.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have empathy for these people who, for whatever reason, couldn’t see the truth. The more people who become enlightened before the midterms, the better our chances.

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nope. FAFO.

annala2.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, you don’t want their vote?

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

We're not going to get their vote. B/c their voting is based on their racism and general bigotry and not on whether Cheeto helps (or hurts) them. They'll be cool as long as they're sure he's hurting "those people" more...

annala2.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m guessing I’ve lived through more hard times than you. I’m not so quick to judge. People can be conned and make bad decisions. I’m willing to give them the chance to learn & grow. They’re publicly speaking out against Trump - something Congress is afraid to do. Dems attacking them is not helpful.

stonemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

We would be better off getting the folks who didn't vote this last time off their duffs. MAGAts ain't gonna be there for us. And I'm tired of Dems trying to "move to center" & cater to the right by (invariably) moving right. It happens every time and they still hate us.

shaelkoris.bsky.social•1 day ago

His business acumen, ex IRS employee? The motherfucker went belly up six times!

reuxben.bsky.social•1 day ago

Spell that backwards and copy and paste it a few dozen times.

sjhnstl.bsky.social•1 day ago

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What an idiot.

42dice.bsky.social•1 day ago

If this guy thought Trump even had a business acumen it's probably for the best he's no longer at the IRS.
