Why do people keep referring to the Art of the Deal, Trump has filed for bankruptcy 6 times from 1991-2009 the art of the deal is just toilet paper with words on it.
I got you fam:
I wouldn’t let that mouth near my asshole if he paid me.
I have to assume that this is extremely abrasive.
He self-brands as an expert negotiator and his base believes it. Any opportunity to shoot holes in that image should be taken. OP is doing just that.
You’re not the intended audience. You already know it’s bullshit.
Then nobody on Lemmy is the intended audience as this is a left wing echo chamber as far as I can tell and I don’t know why we’re posting all this stuff as we are not engaging with the people we need to to effect change.
It’s a bluesky post.
That is an insult to toilet paper
And famously Trump didn’t actually write any of it.
the art is getting that book to sell, unfortunately people making decisions on other countries are not as dumb as the people buying that book
/s
He files for bankruptcy after sucking out all of the resources… and using daddy’s money of course to help him.
I watched the apprentice yesterday, I don’t how close it comes to reality but if it does than saying your good at making deals is more important than actually making good deals.
That is Trump’s whole schtick, he bullshits everyone around him, and if called on it he is all deny/deflect/delay.
He was so great at deal making that he had to take a job working for a Hollywood studio pretending to be a successful businessman and “firing” people from a job that doesn’t exist.
Fuck, he kept insisting that nobody would have ever heard of Penn &Teller if not for him, while standing under the giant mural of them on their eponymous theater in Vegas.
I’ve heard (never actually seen the apprentice myself, and I haven’t followed up, so take it with a big grain of salt) that the show was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Like Trump was such a fantastically bad business man, it was meant to be a joke. But unfortunately, most people are apparently blind to satire, and all it takes is acting like you know what you’re doing to convince them you do.
I wouldn’t call it satire, but since it doesn’t paint a very flattering picture of him I can imagine his supporters would call it satire. It is funny, but that because he behaves stupid. The real him is also funny in the same way, but at the same time there is nothing funny about it because he gets his way. His supporters probably say it’s made to make him look bad, but I feel I better understand him after seeing it. Doesn’t make me like him more though, the consequences his actions have on people makes him quite a villain; then and now.
Yeah, that’s Trump in a nutshell. He’d be hilarious if things weren’t so serious.
You’ve heard of the great dictator well he’s the greatest dictator
Just remember, Trump didn’t write “art of the deal”. It was ghost written. He’s probably never even read it.
I doubt he can even read
Didn’t the ghost writer say he [drumph] hasn’t read a book in his life?
I still remember that aids, during his first term, disclosed that they had to keep briefings to only a few pages and put pictures to make sure they didn’t lose his attention.
I’ve heard that he’s 50/50 if the words are written with crayon.

Wouldn’t matter if he had written it, or even read it. He has no skill as a businessman, including negotiation.
“Xiaomi is the third-largest phone maker in the world behind Apple and Samsung, but its phones are not sold in the United States”
God damn, you folks really are forced to buy Apple
Apple is shit compared to Xiaomi. I’m using Xiaomi 11T Pro which I bought 3 yrs ago for around 530 USD. I got 120W charger, free casing and wireless earbuds. It functions the same as the day i bought it. It has Snapdragon 888 chip, 120hz screen, good camera, stereo Harman Kardon speakers, Dolby Atmos…man this thing charges 0 to 100 in fucking 20 mins. Now I can’t stand it whenever I need to charge my phone in slow chargers lmao 530 bucks lol
Edit: I forgot, they even gave me a branded foldable blanket, you can fold it into a “bag” . It was a very comfy blanket …i lost it somewhere.
I went from iPhone 6s to Huawei mate 20 in 2019. Felt like going from my Gameboy colour to a PSP or something.
Then afterwards because politics caused Huawei to be crippled, I went for Xiaomi. (Shares are sold publicly so there’s more resistance in USA).
Xiaomi 12T via Telenet deals was 400 euros. Then now this year I went for Xiaomi 14T pro for 650 euros (plus a tablet).
My dad went for iPhone 16 for 830 euros.
I’ve only used his phone for like 10 minutes, but it feels so… behind. It’s like for 830 euros that they just cannot offer much. My friend said that an iPhone 16 is a waste of money, that you’re forced to go for the pro max. But that’s like 1500 euros for 512 GB space.
Apple, you’re manufacturing your phones in china but you aren’t pricing your phones like china does.
Why would anyone beside teenagers and seniors buy your phones?
I want to appreciate your comment but the only info about the iPhone is that it’s “behind”.
No specifics, no examples, just a “feeling”
You can compare phones on gsmarena
They’re fuckin trying bro
I love apples… I heard they cure cancer
Only if you bite out the middle part of it like a caveman… a caveman with an apple tree
I like that this only incentivizes making low price junk in the US and not the things that actually matter.
What happened to building factories in America? What about all the jobs putting in tiny screws?
Someone needs to build a toothpick factory somewhere in Kansas to give them something to point to so they can save face.
I agree with the message, but the Krassensteins are grifters.
yeah…weird time
I remember seeing them pop up on leftist spaces on Reddit and I was always nonplussed. Usually their points are valid but like you said they’re grifters. They’ll do pretty much anything for a seat at the table to shake their finger.
Breaking news: not even 24 hours later they announced that the exemption is temporary
Good timing, perfect for crashing the stock market again at the opening tomorrow morning
Breaking News: now the story is that the whole thing was fake news and there are still tariffs.

Who censors “ass” on the Fediverse?
Or in an image for that matter!Self censoring ‘bad’ worda is such mind-numbing dumb thing to do. If you don’t want to use the word, don’t use it… Boggles my mind. Besides, are there even really any platforms anywhere that censor or frown upon ‘ass’ ?
At least TikTok, YouTube possibly demonetises it
Cuz it’s f*nny
Its the fucking Krassensteins
It’s really simple to explain tariffs. Remember the whole “no taxation without representation” the US was built on? Well you can’t tax another country, because you’d have to give them representation.
Which leads me to my next point…
The Art of the Deal is fiction according to the author.
Listen, I have a bridge to sell anyone who thinks there’s an art of the deal
I’m trying to come up with a moderately less scammy way to capitalize off these chumps and funnel the money into sustainable agriculture
Don’t. Every single person who bought into republican bullshit deserves to be separated from their wealth in the scammiest way possible.

Are these the Brothers Krassenstein? They are back to their old grift eh?
And these electronics are coming from where?
