    they don’t even try to be believable because they know their base is dumb as sh*t and will believe anything they say no matter how ludicrous

    a lot of these stupid MFers still think the other country pays the tariff

    Its kinda sad cuz Trump use to atleast pretend he was anti big tech back in the day and anti elitists. He would regularly attack Facebook or make fun of Google. We just found out the other day that Facebook was sexting with teenage girls. We found out chatgbt was helping write suicide notes for school shooters

    Instead of regulating big tech and going after the billionaires hes now threatening any country who dares regulate Big tech with massive fines and tariffs



    Hes sold out humanity for a quick $$. His braindead supporters actually think hes somehow still "anti elitist$ which is just hilarious how stupid they are

    Meta's market capitalization is close to $2 trillion and they have essentially zero net debt (debt less cash). Borrowing $600 billion and investing it over several years is achievable. On top of their ability to raise debt capital, they cash flow $100 billion a year. Layup.


    GOOD DAY

    The USA achieved 3.3% GDP growth in Q2 -- very strong.

    But you are focused on the illegals and DC bureaucrats that got laid off? You're missing the show, amigo!

    LOL if you watch the video zuck admits he made up the numbers from thin air. He isnt investing 600 billion. Theyre making **** to stroke Trumps ego and you cultists are arguing why the 600b is real lmao.

    Jesus man you cultists are sincerely the most gullible individuals in the world.

    Who gives a **** about GDP growth when youth unemployment is at record high? College grads cant find jobs. Black unemployment is at 5 year high. Latino unemployment is at 5 year high.

    But sure let's jump in joy that GDP is up cuz tech companies are investing in AI so they can kick off more humans from work

    errors by Traitor George
    ur confused and all mixed up

    for the education of the willfully ignorant Traitor George

    • market cap is related the # of shares of common stock outstanding times the latest stock price
      • it is separate and distinct from the discussion on debt.
      • as per yahoo finance, Meta's total assets ~~~ $276 billion, total liabilities of ~~$93 billion, not zero
    but it is above your head

    LOL -- market cap is very much related to credit (debt) capacity...as is their cash flow, which I also referenced... and I said "net debt"... and you somehow responded with a point about assets less liabilities (which equals shareholders equity). You are completely confused and trying to match wits with a true expert! Honestly you should be thanking me for educating you for free.

    Its not just zuck but it's all the fake investments.

    - Trump claims EU will invest 600 billion in the US economy as part of deal
    EU says it's fake
    https://www.politico.eu/article/eus-600bn-us-investment-will-come-exclusively-from-private-sector/

    - Trump claims Japan will give him 500 billion to invest in country
    Japan says theyre loans with the option to reject anything they dont like
    https://www.reuters.com/business/ja...settled-awaits-pharma-chip-orders-2025-09-06/

    Its all a bunch of fake "investments" stroking Trumps ego cuz they know his cultist wont know the difference

    You know who isn't suffering? Trump and his family of grifters using Daddy's influence to reap in billions. They have their hands in so many big donor and billionaire cookie jars that it's hard to keep up with their latest scheme to reap in the money from investors both here and abroad. Even his 19 year old son has joined the grift.

    How Trump's latest crypto launch enriches his family


    On Monday, President Trump's family earned some $5 billion — at least on paper — as their latest cryptocurrency venture launched. Now a "token" from World Liberty Financial, the crypto business co-founded last year by Trump and his sons, is trading publicly.

    This launch highlights the extraordinary degree to which Trump and his family are using the Oval Office to personally profit, especially through his close ties to the crypto industry. The president reported income of more than $630 million last year, including $57 million from cryptocurrency sales, before launching a "meme coin" earlier this year. (He has also licensed his name to sell sneakers, watches, guitars, and Bibles.)

    Now anyone can buy or sell this "$WLFI" token — giving those wishing to curry favor with the president another avenue to directly contribute to his personal finances.​

    Social costs are to blame. Plaintiffs attorneys, big jury awards, and the increase in third-party litigation... All driven by liberals...
