@realDonaldTrump You self-sabotaging, xenophobic pr*ck.
Just look what you've done to the stock market.

Looks like your avocado toast is about to get a lot more expensive, Mr Millennial.

This is from 2019. The Trump tariffs strategy with Mexico. It worked then. It will work again. Let Trump be Trump. This time the tarrifs negotiation strategy will include Mexico, Canada and China. An amazing time to be alive.

God bless Trump!
MAGA

@HumanBollard @EricIdle Deliberately reshaping the facts to mislead. Give it up. You can't silver-sprinkle the xenophobic, racist policy pack of crap that Boris and his cronies have delivered

Also so many stories like this

Guy sells his $50K/mo business to a VC funded unicorn

Gets offered $10M for it, e.g. 16x multiple on revenue!

Too good to be true right? Well it is, cause it's just an acquihire

Celebrates it as a massive $10M acquisition

"Look guys I made it! I'm rich now!"

His startup is shutdown, and he gets paid a salary to work at the new company, with a vesting agreement that he has to stay on for 5 years to get the $10M, but the $10M is in stock valued at the arbitrary price when he got acquihired

Meanwhile that $10M stock gets diluted, the price may drop due to the market changing, and actually it might just end up worthless after paying tax on calling the options to buy the stock in the first place

And now you have a soul-sucking job at a unicorn instead of building a cool product

And you're still poor

5 years of the best years in your life wasted for quite low odds % on a pay out

Always look beyond the headline; this story is one of poverty as much as drugs. Sometimes the perpetrators are also victims https://t.co/z4lhNFYAX6

Unreciprocated #EU border checks have unfairly saddled #UK #exporters with £55 million in extra costs, while EU counterparts pay absolutely nothing!

This govt's failure to negotiate a fair sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU has hit hard British #businesses.

France takes three times as many asylum seekers as Britain, Germany ten times as many. And neither is negotiating a deportation camp scheme with an African dictatorship.

Brexit isn’t working in the City, it’s impairing London’s attractiveness as a financial hub. In interest rate swaps and options the UK’s share fell from 50 per cent in 2019 to just 43 per cent by 2022 as euro-denominated trading shifts inside the EU. https://t.co/buo1WHUUph
