For the terribly uninformed . . .

The Department of Justice under Trump closed a criminal investigation into Abbott's contaminated BABY FORMULA plant in favor of civil penalties.

Watchdog groups questioned the timing due to a prior $500,000 Abbott donation to Trump's inaugural fund.

In other words, Abbott paid their way out of a DoJ investigation for contaminated BABY FOOD.

Trump didn't give a crap about contaminated BABY FORMULA. He only cared about being PAID OFF.

So much to be PROUD OF.

MAGA.

No values.
No morals.
No integrity.






You do know you just bragged about getting bought out by this company that you're now talking negatively about?


Sounds to me like you couldn't care any less about CONTAMINATED baby formula.

Your guy Trump got PAID not to care about it.
He's easily bought.

$500,000

By the company you just bragged about. This has been a rollercoaster of a thread, you're really struggling here.

He literally built a significant chunk of his fortune that he never stops talking about due to a company that was being investigated buying their way out of it via a donation to the President he obsesses about 24/7.

LOL.

"Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee"

It's cute when a poster deludes themselves into thinking they've owned someone so badly that they put it in their signature.

Growing up, we had posters of Farrah Fawcett on our bedroom wall. I guess there are adults that have posters of Trump on their bedroom wall.

What's hilarious is that none of the Trump supporters here have made any money on the two investments that I've been kind enough to share here that have more than DOUBLED.

They were too busy defending a guy that couldn't care any less about them.

Trump only cares about people in the Top 1% like me.

Freaking hilarious!

It was funny seeing Trump go on a MELTDOWN after the Fed raised rates today .... saying that rates should be only 1% or less.

You just cant make this stuff up.

Hahahaha!

That was hardly a meltdown.


Question: Where do you think the Fed Funds Rate should be?

Do you agree with Trump that it should be 1% or less?

Dramatically lower than 3.75 - 4.00%?

If so, why?



I think rates should have been raised the .25% but almost entirely on the basis of oil prices. The rest of the economy is fairing pretty well currently.

The Fed's statement described economic activity as expanding at a "solid pace," domestic spending as resilient, production growth as strong, capital investment as robust and unemployment as little changed.

Go talk to a small business owner. The rest of the economy is NOT fairing well at all.

The economy and asset markets are not the same thing.



Most Trump supporters fail to realize this.
They equate the economy with the asset markets

I am not a Trump supporter per se, but I made some money off of EXAS. I may have made a lot more if you had mentioned it here before it skyrocketed. If I recall, you mentioned it at a high price, it dropped close to fifty percent after, and then later tripled. I give you credit for having inside knowledge of medical device stocks.

It depends on the industry, but we sold our business in 2021 to a fortune 500 company because of difficulties competing with large companies funded by the stock market or low interest venture capital willing to take losses to take out competition. We had a good, long run but got out while we could get good value.

It was probably about 10 years ago when I predicted Trump would end up like Bush in that many of his supporters woukd end up denying they supported him.

I mentioned a medical dx stock in this forum in the 160's
It closed at $369 on Friday.

According to a Trump supporter here, I am suppose to "thank" Trump for my gains.
Lmao.

This is from someone who admittedly couldn't care any less about the financial markets... "because most people dont understand it" ... and claims to have made $100,000 while an undergrad at Cal.

Comical.

Yes, thank Daddy Trump.

Are you the only person who can make money? Start ups FTW! Made close to $500,000 before graduating.
