Women with Daddy issues don't like Trump because they can't find a man who will stand up to them and Trump is a constant reminder of that. LOL

Sent China up the middle now Russia will sack America with an outside blitz.Government owned business is socialism or am I wrong? Not saying this is a Putin/trump set up or anything.

Stop bailing out the companies that are fucking over average americans

Nice one Comrade!

He, his family and Senators are using their classified data to profit in the stock market. All need to be in prison for life. realDonaldTrump send to Prison for life.

Didn't I see this on the Sopranos?

President Trump said

Whew thank god! I thought you were gonna say Dumpy was throwing completely foolish BS, actually this may well be the stupidest thing he’s said, which is saying everything... what a fool...

Isnt that what Obama did with GM?

Under his administration, it will bolster the development of fascism. It can exist in fascism, communism, and other authoritarian totalitarian systems.

The U.S. government took a 61 percent equity stake in GM after 08 crash. The government no longer has a stake in the company.

Trump is a misinformed fool, the worst kind! Unless some adults enter the room and interject sanity, the US is heading for a very difficult time. Unfortunately those calling for trump to be replaced will suffer along side the fools that continue to support him!

fuck him.

So, SOCIALISM!

That’s Communism aka what China does!

So very socialist of him.

¿Porqué no usan mascarillas? Deben dar el ejemplo del distanciamiento

This clown has multiple bankruptcies, questionable banking relationships, and foreign alliances. I would not trust anything he comes up with.

Are republicans setting themselves on fire in protest yet?

Isn't government control of capital.....COMMUNISM?

We are on the road to becoming a Communist Country!

this sounds a bit like socialism?

Socialism at work!

But not human essential businesses? Utilities? Water,telephone, mass transit?

Oh god. Trump, the king of bankruptcy, wants to start a portfolio with our money. whatcouldpossiblygowrong

Maybe if he would take a bigger stake in the citizens he would be a better President. I doubt if that will ever happen.

More Soviet-style “solutions”... we know who this bastard works for

OMG, screw the businesses.. help the people. Then the people will use the businesses. This is typical tyranny. Own all the businesses and people then you control the narrative.

Socialist Trump

Woah, what? I swear the demon of Hugo Chavez found the weak body of Trump to process when he died.

Sounds very communistic to me. Waiting for the right to push back on this

So, socialism.

This is NOT socialism which would help all. This is chronic capitalism as owners will sell stake to government at inflated price. This will help the rich, but not the workers.

Socialism for the rich. ‘‘Twas ever thus

Socialist Roader!

what, like the mafia?

But I thought socialism is bad?

Everyone calm yourselves. The government also took an equity stake in General Motors during the auto industry bailouts in 2009. Around 2003, the government also took stake in AIG. The companies (ideally) pay it back and the gov. no longer holds stake in the co. at that point.

Pure capitalism. Make money off the market. Less taxes is how I see it. They’re not taking it completely over and putting a family member in charge that knows nothing. Educate yourself about socialism.

Just wait, at some point one of the oligarchs will get to buy the government out in a sweetheart deal not available to us common folk!

Aka “nationalizing.”

Oh my God...this man.

Freaking tired of this daily briefing of lies and BS with no action. I don't want to hear from you but want to see some FREAKING action. You can send one person and lie to us not a boatload of useless yes men and women.

Government owning the means of production? Isn’t that...communism?

Well at least he's not picking winners & losers, right? Oh, wait . . .

Companies should be bailing out the people, not people (taxpayers) bailing out the companies. trickledown doesn't work

FFS he’s gone from attempting an authoritarian rule to communism. He’s just spitting out 💩 in hopes his 2020 bid isn’t sunk. 🤦🏻‍♀️ & People are worried about socialist Bernie Sanders when we have agent🍊in office who suffers from diarrhea of the 👄 syndrome. Trump is incompetent.

He wants to run things like his older brother Putin

Did he say, 'TELEPHONICALLY'? 👽

That’s how China is doing it.

So, Communism?

Wtf so he can bankrupt PRIVATE INDUSTRY? NotMyPresident

Yeah that’s a slippery slope.

So socialism

I... should’ve seen this coming. 🤦🏼‍♂️

S O C I A L I S M

Good he should allow for anyone to liquidate 401k,ira,penalty and tax free now,putting people’s own $ value in their hands now,people could by back later if they want like corps and institutions

wakelon3 Nope.

BernieSanders CALL HIM OUT ON THIS!!!

Trump is becoming a socialist. Wow! It seems when he kept saying socialists were in elected office he was staring in the mirror.

The first step in the dictatorial takeover.

Just suspend rent and mortgage payments for awhile. Tell the Heth Insurance industry to live off its obscene profits for a month or two. Then people will stay home.

The workers are going to own the means of production? That sounds....familiar. irony

Wow...now we are nationalizing?

When the Reich Wing turns to populist socialism—watch out.

Hmmm socialism

What? Communism?

Hey Conservatives! Sounds a bit like nationalization of industry.

White House tries to convince millennials to take coronavirus seriouslyMillennials may be at higher risk for coronavirus than previously thought. “We really don’t have a handle on the spread within young healthy adults because we have not been testing especially there,” Dr. James Hamblin says. To risk condemnation for this question but is the risk the same for Male and Female or could from appearances and actions reduced testosterone levels be a factor or is such a study forbidding by some law or rule or progressive edict ? Ooooh, again, not testing. Where have I heard this before? Every other Millennial I know is taking this pretty seriously don’t you mean Gen Z-ers?
