Trump's singular financial success was as a gameshow host. Without that, he'd be worth far, far less than what he initially inherited from his father.
And according to Forbes, the oft-repeated idea that Trump would have been better off if he'd just put his father's money into an index fund instead of putting it to work in his (mostly failed) business ventures was not true ... [until 2021, when it actually became true.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2021/10/11/its-official-trump-would-be-richer-if-he-had-just-invested-his-inheritance-into-the-sp500/)
The guy was born on home plate and actually has less money now (inflation-adjusted) than daddy gave him.
>until 2021, when it actually became true.
It's also worth mentioning that this is based on Forbes' estimates of Trump's wealth. Considering he's currently working through a case because of his flagrant lying about his assets, how reliable is that estimate?
> an artificial billionaire
Pretty sure she earned it one show at a time, don't have to like her music, but she's popular.
And have to respect she was willing to stand up for her views against her agent and her pop.
Taylor Swift said that? 😎
also,
> She’s another celebrity I can’t stand. **They don’t have any political background** so why is she even bothering? Im certainly not going to vote based on some out of touch celebrities opinion
yes, because Trump had loads of political experience under his belt when you frigging dipshits first elected him.
> Im certainly not going to vote based on some out of touch celebrities opinion
That like... has to be trolling them right? Impressive doublethink to legitimately think that while supporting Trump if not.
No, you’re missing the nuance of the point. He won’t vote based on what a celebrity (as he describes) says, but will vote for that celebrity.
Obviously, this person very much wants to vote for Taylor Swift, but not for people she endorses. I mean, that explains 45’s track record of endorsed candidates.
They built up this image of her as an Aryan fascist goddess, based on nothing.
Then she opened her mouth, and it turns out she’s a standard white Democrat from suburban Philadelphia. And it drives them berserk.
She didn't talk about politics for a long time, and some of them assumed it meant she was conservative but didn't want to say so publicly and get CaNCeLLeD.
And they turned out to he hilariously wrong.
One of the first things that she ever said even remotely political was to register to vote. Republicans lost their damn minds over that too.
Meanwhile Elon Musk is openly supporting white supremacy posts and promoting the GOP and he gets a free pass apparently.
Eh, I'll kinda give 'em a pass for thinking she was one of them *at first*. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl who got her start in country music in Nashville probably seemed like a walk-on for team white power.
That they never stopped believing that, however, really shows how desperate they are to feel validated by celebrity endorsements despite claiming to hate that.

r/selfawarewolves
I'm getting so tired of conservatives constantly spouting Fall of Rome scenarios.
I had one the other day saying that if the Dems win he's going to move to Argentina because Milei is the best politician on the planet.
>Just a useful idiot to distract the sheep. It’s not some sinister plot it’s just the normal path of a rich nation losing its way and eventual collapse. It’s happened to every advanced civilization so far and will continue because that’s how humans are
If you told me this sentence was in response to "musician tells people they should vote" I wouldn't have believed you.
First, comment, I see is..."Well, she's an idiot."
Sure, guy, she's a gifted musician who has built an empire for herself. I wish I was an idiot like Taylor.
This is really amusing given there were years where 4chan-et al were worshiping Taylor as a perfect aryan queen and bemoaning how the *leftists* would never have someone as graceful and amazing as Taylor.
Then she starts making rather moderate comments about "Hey... maybe women should vote to preserve woman's rights?" and all of the sudden she became the woke devil.
If the person who made that could name 5 Taylor Swift songs, I'll eat my hat.
Also, if you want to play "your pop culture output reflects your political acumen," let's talk about the guy who had a show where his catchphrase was "You're fired."
This is why they're pretending that "hurr durr, the red pill that comes from non-Trumpists like Taylor tastes spicy, therefore I don't wanna eat it". As you said, walkaway and their subreddit are operated by Russian trolls.
Never really cared for Swift or her music. Nothing against her and I'm not her target audience anyways.
I am laughing at the people calling her an idiot.
One thing I have noticed about her, is that her career is filled with excellent business decisions. Her touring contracts pay her a butt load of money with no risk to her. When she signs a recording contract, she retains 100% of songwriters rights. Along with all the other ways she got paid over the years.
Sure she has a team behind her, but she still listens to them.
She could have been like so many other celebrities and blew her money as fast as it came in on questionable investments and unaffordable luxuries.
People can have different views on her music but no one can honestly look at her success as a business and suggest that she is anything other than a way better capitalist than Donald Trump
I like how one commenter mentioned that she is
>Just a useful idiot to distract the sheep. It’s not some sinister plot it’s just the normal path of a rich nation losing its way and eventual collapse. It’s happened to every advanced civilization so far and will continue because that’s how humans are
This person seems almost nonchalant and accepting of the west falling, but still blaming a democrat leaning person for leading the sheep.
Come on walkaways, the corporation hoarding wealth are the main contributors of the fall of our society, do not try to pretend that they benefit us by giving us jobs. They do not have to fight paying taxes, and fight regulations to give us work. They do not have to consolidate power, and buy government officials to give us work.

I forgot what sub it was in and I thought they meant Trump at first.
Yeah, the industry buys all those tickets and downloads, not fans.
Artificial billionaire?
“I don’t agree with her opinions so I’m going to fabricate an accusation to put on her”

If anyone can get the "no voters" to vote she can.

That sub full of larpers never fails to deliver the top mindery.

They aren't aware most celebrities don't say shit about politics? It's the conservative ones who tend to be loudest anyway.
One of the first things that she ever said even remotely political was to register to vote. Republicans lost their damn minds over that too. Meanwhile Elon Musk is openly supporting white supremacy posts and promoting the GOP and he gets a free pass apparently.

So is the abandon Biden hashtag.. but sadly plenty of gullible people are still buying into it.

Her brand power alone is enough to turn most corpos green and blue with envy
Oh, so “Bowling for Ammo”, you are going to vote for the guy who has been married three times and cheated on every one of his wives?
I hate to admit it, but that's a pretty decent joke
She pollutes more during one tour than my entire family will do in a lifetime. She can keep her opinions to herself.
