Trump Calls Top Blue State Official 'Scum' In Rambling Meltdown

[Zorro]

The president is incensed that New York AG Letitia James is still in office.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to post a lengthy diatribe about one of his biggest political enemies, New York Attorney General Letitia James, calling her “scum” and demanding she be removed from office.

In a Saturday afternoon rant, the president wrote, “Corrupt Letitia James is costing New York State Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in lost business. No company or individual wants to be there, knowing that she’s the ‘Attorney General.’ She is a Complete and Total Disaster, who tried running against Kathy Hochul for Governor, and only got 1% of the Vote in Polls, and QUIT.”

Talking about himself in the third person, he continued, “She then went back to her WITCH HUNT against President Donald J. Trump, and others. Until this ‘SCUM’ is removed from the Attorney General’s Office, no company will move to New York, and few companies will be using the New York Stock Exchange, or NASDAQ, for going Public.“

“The new Texas Exchange will be taking ALL of this business away, and we’re talking Hundreds of Billions of Dollars!” he added, referring to the new Texas Stock Exchange set to be headquartered in Dallas that was approved by the SEC on Tuesday.

1. Geezus, a new stock exchange in Dallas?

That is really creepy.

[johnnyfins]

4. No. It's their plan. This country is going to

SPLIT along ideological lines. I am now convinced after this new exchange news. There is NOTHING that these Nazi fucks won't go after and destroy. TSF, at this point, is just a lightning rod.

[ananda]

7. That's exactly why it's so creepy, as I said.

I just don't have the financial knowledge to be able
to describe how this exchange will work, exactly

[johnnyfins]

8. You dont really need the knowledge.

It comes down to where companies will go public. Theres no law that says they have to list on the NYSE. Even if there was, these clowns will rewrite it. So, rightwing led companies will list in Dallas. More division, more separation, more chaos. I apologize if I sound pessimistic, but what could make me hopeful?

[johnnyfins]

9. And I will add that TSF will throw the FULL

Weight of the US Government behind the new exchange. That means a shit ton of money and SEC pressure on NY and NOT Texas. Companies will have to go to Texas to protect "Shareholder Value". This is a fucking DISASTER.

14. It's always clear that there's a civil war going on...

what's not clear is exactly what's going to happen to money per se.

Will the NYSE remain viable? Will the Nasdaq remain viable?

Will crypto be a factor and how?

Will it be used as leverage to get people to leave NY for Dallas?

Those are my questions.

2. Haven't we all had enough of that stupid hateful old bastard?

[Blues Heron]

3. Resign, freak

[struggle4progress]

5. Put a lid on it

[sakabatou]

6. And repukes say we're the ones who divide the US

10. I am so sick of this fatally flawed individual being able to indulge his need..

..to exact revenge on everyone who doesn't kiss his ass.

While it's sad that he had a shitty childhood/upbringing, plenty of people have crappy families and don't grow up to be horrible adults. He makes me believe in the idea of the "bad seed."

11. How long will it take for the Texas Stock Exchange to cause the biggest economic collapse in US history ?

You know that regulatory oversight is not their forte. That's **WHY** RW businesses will open there. They'll shit up the whole works, leave an Enron-sized tangle of paperwork that can never be unraveled, demand a Federal bailout, and retire to their private islands. Then delete as much from the public record as possible, and the next cohort of grifters will start over again with the new crop of marks.

At least Turnip will finally get something REALLY big named after him -- "The Trump Depression -- the Greatest Depression ever !!"

15. With any luck, a REALLY long time.

I hope that because I hope that most major companies that have any sense at all will stay with the NYSE (or NASDAQ, or whatever), and not opt to go to a place governed by the likes of Greg Abbott. A place with a State Government as corrupt as Republican Texas will not be as inviting to legitimate companies, who depend on serious, competent and vigilant oversight for the exchange where their shares are traded. Therefore if Enron-like companies, who offer what Belmondo called in one of his films "une belle envelope avec rien dedans (a pretty envelope with nothing inside) " are allowed to sell their shares on the Dallas exchange, go ahead. When they collapse, and their exchange oversight tells shareholders, "too bad, better luck next time," see how many companies will rush to be traded there. What will be their flagship stock? My Pillow?

16. ENRON. Texas Sen.Phil Gramm & wife Wendy were

key players.

12. When George H. W. Bush called Clinton & Gore Bozos, everyone was appalled that a president would resort to

such name calling.

13. Doubt many companies move out there.

Most large ones are incorporated in Delaware and most of the financial capital is in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Bad infrastructure, adverse politicians, lousy weather, etc. doesn't make it appealing. Not to mention, all the best finance universities are on the coasts.

Remember, Disney was going to move a lot of its operations to Florida until the state government made them a target. Developers were building housing, stores and restaurants...they took a loss.

It wasn't that long ago Kansas went full trickle down thinking it would bring in more companies. Instead, they started leaving.
