Donald Trump is moving too fast, alienating allies, making Americans poorer, and tarnishing the sterling reputation of US assets, Citadel CEO and founder Ken Griffin said Wednesday.
Though the president may have identified real problems, his methods to solve them donāt appear to be working, and are unlikely to revive American manufacturing, Griffin told Semaforās Gina Chon at the World Economy Summit in Washington, DC.
Previously, Griffin said, āno brand comparedā to US Treasurys, the strength of the US dollar, or the nationās creditworthiness. But Trumpās tactics have āerodedā that reputation.
Every moment they live with that kind of wealth is a moment that a poor mother cries because she canāt feed her kids, some poor folk dies because he canāt afford healthcare, some kid learns what it means to be poor.
I understand enjoying life and some luxuries from time to time, I donāt want anyone to renounce their humanity for ideals imposed by others, but every time I read about billionairesā antics I canāt help but think of my mother checking all the price tags at the supermarket, driving cars unfit for the road and so onā¦ And we have never even touched real poverty, I canāt say I ever skipped a meal.
So yeah, I can be tolerant as much as you want, I sure donāt plan to go Luigi anyone, but no super luxury hotel stay is worth kids going hungry, not to mention other bullshit.
Gates is leaving 1% of his wealth to his kids. Rest goes to the causes you mentioned.
He still has it
Right but when heās dead it will go to charity and hopefully to far better use than giving it to the US government to waste on interest payments and military spending.
Yeah or he could just not extract it from his employees and let the economy distribute it around, or give it to charity NOW, I mean even if he gave billions it wouldnāt change his life one bit, except heād lose power, and thatās all these psychos care about.
