While 40 million Americans filed for unemployment during the #coronavirus pandemic, billionaires saw their net worth increase by half a trillion dollars

I usually don’t agree with Trump but I am totally with him on this.

Interested in his ideas. This is something that could actually cause me to vote for him

This was literally because the government chose winners and losers

If you don't already have cause to vote for Trump, this ain't the straw that will break the camel's back.

I don’t believe his solution will be to punish the rich, so I’ll listen to what ideas he has to offer.

I took this to mean that the billionaires are able to take advantage of the economic downturn, whereas the common man cannot. If the economy is smoking, everyone will be doing well...

I take this as we need to get the economy going again so everyone can make money. Not the reallocation of the wealth

TD, that's what I'm talking about with nothing ever being able to satisfy his critics. Just him making that remark is pretty notable. When was the last time a Republican President made a comment anywhere near that? Or any high level Republican? It's not very easy to thread that political needle, yet he's willing to provoke a discussion at unknown cost.

Always has and always will. It's the mere reason why 1031 exchanges exist.

Many people will never be able to comprehend that it fricking doesn't matter if there is a D or R in the presidential spot. They are all the same when you break everything down.
