    I still don’t get why the billionaires think trump will always treat them like they’re special, no matter what. Bezos, you’re up next to see how trump is going to screw you over.

      If you’re buddies at the right time, he’ll let you in on his plans that will move the market. He openly did it once before. Everyone with a nine figure networth or better would kill for that opportunity. Literally.

      Because even paying off Trump for millions is a drop in the bucket when you have money like that.

      If you have $1 Billion, a $5 Million “donation” as a tithe to the Orangutan, is 0.05% of your money. They’re making that back before the end of the day.

      A Billion is a massive amount of money, people just can’t comprehend the difference from a million to a billion. The average human brain just hasn’t evolved to comprehend numbers that large, it’s just not useful in daily life.

        The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars; is about a billion dollars.
