Remember when Bushturd 2 had to "abandon free market principles"...

This is what an MBA from a prestigious university will buy you.

Trump is America.

And he's enriching himself just fine.

I have absolutely no problem with the government getting a portion of any company that relies heavily on government funding.

Free Market Capitalism didn't enrich America. It enriched a tiny portion of America. And it screwed everyone not born to a wealthy family.

Free market Capitalism went away as soon as Obama signed the ACA. Just because the issue is manifesting from a conservative doesn't make it any less true.

The same sentiment said about a Dem POTUS and liberals go ballistic saying how wrong it is, blah blah blah. That's not even gaslighting. That actually happens in reality. Very often. But let's just ignore all of it that doesn't meet our narrative, amirite?

It enriched the vast, overwhelming majority of Americans, not to mention the rest of the world.

That's why people are fighting to get into capitalist countries. Apparently, they're more interested in being better off themselves than they are someone else being better off than they are.
