teared up on Monday as he discussed the political divide in the U.S. and his concerns about the American dream.while tearing up when asked why he has been so vocal about the 2020 election.
The two have sparred in recent weeks, with Warren contending that the billionaire should contribute more in taxes to help improve economic inequality in the U.S. "This is idiocy! It's appealing to the lowest common denominator and basically trying to turn people's heads around by promising a lot of free stuff," he added.criticizing her characterization of billionaires, writing at the time that "your tweet demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of who I am, what I stand for, and why I believe so many of your economic policy initiatives are misguided.
Lmao i still think about this
Like CNBC and their smug hosts who shill for the billionaires, they only 'care' about THEIR money. They have no respect for the Robinhood traders. We dont make them enough money unless they limit our ability to make money so they can steal from us. You lost it today . FAIL
Here's a tip. If you don't want hard working, tax paying Americans to call you a dead beat. Stop being a dead beat.
Wonder if Mr. Cooperman is equally concerned about unelected bureaucrats conspiring w politicians and media to overturn a duly elected president. Now *that's* something to shed tears over.
I don't give a shit if he has to pay more taxes. He is a billionaire he can afford it. Hope he remembers the French Revolution.
Why didn’t anyone on CNBC ask about Navient? Maybe that’s what he’s afraid of and crying about.
If anyone is wondering how much Mr. Cooperman would be worth after a 6% wealth tax, the answer is $3,008,000,000. He’ll be ok 👌
But he also cares about capitalism
Good job guys, now he's bawling all over a bed filled with money, and who's going to want snot covered 100's?
Well he’s no milkenisl expecting freebies.
Are you covering up or protecting directors as if they were 2 year olds .you know how they need protection ? Are these directors fully grown? & is Biden mentally challenged that he too needs protection. To me only children need protection. Are they all mentally challenged
Being a Billionaire is not a sign of success it's simply the outcome of obsessive greed. I'm sure the tears are for the regrets of a wasted life
Crocodile tears.
okboomer
Then put your money where your mouth is.
He cares...do we need billionaires? taxthem
I wish i could could to this to his face
Could give a shit about this boomer
Oh come on...this guy makes a fortune on the backs of students that he puts in debt for the rest of their lives. If he’s going to give away his fortune later in life anyway, how about he makes a little less now and gives students the head start they need to get going now.
Since Sanders wants to actually follow through on his taxes and a higher tax, this guy must be curled up in a ball over him. Warren is a follower never a leader and won't follow through on anything.
Bye bye paying 0 in taxes 😢😢😢
The level of caring goes down 1 point for every dollar you have...
He cares. About his money.
Mmm ok...
This is hilarious. If he cared he would be demanding to pay his FAIR SHARE.
this dude’s been pulling this tearful act for a long time now. it’s difficult to not question his sincerity. glad warren is highlighting naivent
Cooperman should stick to what’s worked best for Billionaire in shaping the current system. Dumping large amounts of money into lobbyist, PAC’s and deceptive advertising. Going with the truth and playing the victim will never get this group to far. Warren2020
Please! Being a 'hedgefund' manager itself disputes that. They are the parasites of the stock world even! He's worried he'll be slightly less rich billionaire?
Does he care enough to pay his fair share of taxes?
Oh he has whined about class for years, poor thing. He’s so downtrodden what with being accused of insider trading and owning that upstanding publication National Enquirer which never ever never publishes lies or just makes shut up. *sniffle*
He could devote the rest of his rapacious, meaningless life to combating global climate change, fight for civil or voting rights and donate his fortune to the people he fucked over. Or he can whine on a business channel.
ONE OF THE DESTROYERS IS CRYING.
Oh please
Liar
Hypocrite
He doesn’t care. What nonsense!
fuck that guy.
He only cares about his bottom line. Not about actual progress or how his business screw everyone else over
Fix the for profit education system, that causes massive student loan debt.
The tears are for his fortune, not his country. 'We need a unifier' that can give money to billionaires in a gentler way. It's not the policy he cries about but the tone.
Doesn't matter bitch give up the money
Dear Billionaire:
NARRATOR: He does not.
Better get those gated communities in New Zealand ready, Scooter.
We’re coming for you. Believe that.
Please let Cooperman know: Better to pay wealth tax now than face a guillotine later.
Why is this egg crying
Meanwhile his assistant sitting next to him off camera ...
tomwfranck pay up
He cares... about himself. Period.
The attack is louder than the counter statement, even when armed with facts.
The trick to getting rich is to be really good at one or two things and staying delusional about everything else.
Too bad so sad. Maybe he could quit ripping people off and become a contributing member of society instead of a leech.
Maybe Leon’s a nice man, I don’t know. What I suspect though is that Leon doesn’t realize it’s not all about him. He says he doesn’t need Warren to tell him what to do, not realizing that what Warren is actually doing is standing up for people who aren’t him.
Give me an effin' break. Where were the tears? There are no actual tears. No one is scared of Liz Warren.
Billionaires tears don’t actually exist. They’re all an illusion.
Shouldn’t the press be required to mention his conflicts of interests... like, idk, being a student loan investor?
eat him
shooting somebody to lose in 2020! Oh BTW there’s also that impeachment thing hanging over his head, along with a number of lawsuits just waiting for him to leave office!👌
You may disagree with their politics but they didn’t have this cloud of criminality hanging over their heads like this asshole has hanging over his head! Donald Trump has done everything & I mean everything humanly possible with the exception of actually going to 5th Avenue &
If you cared most likely you wouldn’t be a billionaire.
What Reagan & Bush 41 & 43 did not have hanging over their heads like this asshole has is they were not considered criminals! They were not considered liars at least not by a vast amount of Americans!
I care too 😉
Oh please, spare me your crocodile tears.
Warren , like allother Democrats, care nothing about America and Americans. They are only concerned with controlling everything and everyone. Offering free stuff to all when nothing will ever be free. Lies and pandering.
If you really cared, you would look beyond your wallet and pay attention to how Trump is ruining our democracy! I’m not for Warren either, but will vote for whomever the Dem nominee is just to defeat Trump!
He should be in one of the first tumbrils.
Prove it
Instead of tweeting at him, Warren should sit down with him. He doesn’t think Trump should run for reelection. He says that Trump is not presidential and tearing the country apart. He doesn’t appear to be nuts. Missed opportunity IMHO.
He’ll cry even more when we expropriate his ill-gotten money 😈
Cry more. Those years are delicious.
Bull Shit. He cares about not paying taxes.
tomwfranck Sincerely dumb and manipulative.
F-ing bunch of crap. I don't buy his fake emotions for a minute. No one is vilifying billionaires. We just want them to pay taxes and lose subsidies.
Narrator: 'He actually only cared about himself'
Tax him.
Get off my tv
Are billionaire tears valued in billions too? How many did Cooperman lose in that interview. Such an act! Scott Wapner should have asked him how people could get education that wouldn't bankrupt them when Cooperman suggested that as an alternative to taxing the wealthy
stacyherbert 🤣 ... a vampire crying because someone said he shouldn't be allowed to wander around the blood bank unsupervised. ... 🙄
Cooperman, are you coming to terms with end of life closing in? Why else would you start having a conscience? Your billions can’t be taken to heaven/hell. Unfortunately bc of GOP policies, Hell on earth is real for most Americans working 2/3 jobs, school debt, gun violence, etc
“ 'I care' — billionaire investor tears up talking about America, Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump “
A billionaire who cares. Man that's rich.
Until he starts redistributing his money hes not crying hard enough
'Please don't make me pay millions of dollars in taxes, then I'd only have billions of dollars left. It's just not right!!!!'
Wall Street financial liberals are now not supporting the crazy radicals as they realise their easy in the swamp is about to be totally ruined by the crazies like EW and BS. They will in fact be supporting President Trump. The dead beat Dems have lost their cash cow.
How disgusting.
This is pathetic. Is he so out of touch?
I think Louis said something similar in the gilt halls of Versailles... while his people starved.
Lol. He 'cares'. Just not enough to pay his fair share of taxes.
Politician like Warren do not know shit from sand. This is a capitalist country and dont ask people to chip in unless you do. You want free ride then find it somewhere else. I pay for everything i have . I hate beggars and government’s abuse of power to take money from people.
I guess when bad cop doesn’t work u go for good cop?
Skskskksks him talking about caring:
Are we seriously supposed to feel bad for him?! Fuck him.
Narrator: He didn't care at all
Then he needs to tell the media to stop trying to divide the U.S. citizens.
tomwfranck The next time you cry Leon, someone is gonna slap you with a slice of whole wheat bread. Damn jerk.
Crying: the new white male conservative defense tactic 🙄🙄🙄
I hate it when billionaires get the sads. It’s all I could think about when I was an uninsured college graduate trying to pay rent and use my spare time to intern in my field for free before going to grad school and taking out loans just to get an entry level job. :( :( :(
Naw.
You don't care, but please cry more it's amusing
If he cared, he’d happily become not a billionaire.
Boo fuckin hoo
Having seen the hell my friends went through with their Navient loans ... I don't give a rat's toe if this man cries onto his piles of ill-gotten gains.
Leon Cooperman, you don't like Elizabeth Warren saying you're a deadbeat. She's being kind, Sir. I'd call you a scoundrel and a thief who hasn't done a honest day's work in your life.
Crocodile tears?
Wait billionaires can cry? who knew.
he's afraid of his own mortality probably
Billionaires crying I thought they paid poor people to do that!!
I bet he doesn’t believe in climate change either, because why care about anything else than hoarding money when your 70+, right?
Boo fucking hoo
Busted
If he cared, then he wouldn't have a billion dollars.
He said trump should take a “victory lap.”
about his money?
he cares just enough to pack up and move to Florida so he can avoid state and local taxes.
Crocodile tears, he's only sad for his fortune.
your tears are delicious
He should be jailed for starters
Is this guy on Warren's payroll? He couldn't have gifted her a better campaign fight if he was.
This is garbage
Yeah cuz his old ass is trying to remain rich. If I was a rich white guy, the thought of Elizabeth Warren being in the white house with make me cry to. But I'm not so it doesn't.
If he didn’t wipe his eyes and blow his nose (loudly) into fistfuls of wadded up $100 bills, he’s not a real billionaire.
I’ll say it. You’re a deadbeat. Capitalizing on college students, many of which have no income, and mortgaging their futures (as well as my future and thus my children’s futures) makes you a deadbeat.
Thank you, Leon, for speaking truth! 👍😀🇺🇸
Crocodile tears.
Tell that man to go play bingo and hush.. and 🎻
I watched it live and it was WILD.
He really cares about money!
Fake af. Prove it. Got a pro bono bankruptcy atty friend? Or some pocket change?
Navient.... Narrator: He didn’t really care.
“Free stuff,” like the tax law that let his class off the hook? Citing Ken Langone as someone who made the world a better place is sn eyebrow-raiser too, for those of us aware of his labor practices and political engagement. Wow!
Would rather he die than cry 🍝
If he’s committed to giving away his fortune upon death, why is he so opposed to paying his fair share of taxes while he’s still alive?
Of course he cares. He has a lot invested in it.
Wrong headline
lol fuck him
Cooperman is correct and stated his opinion, with which I agree, very well. He predicted the hate that would follow. Let's stop hating. 'What is your fair share of what someone else earned?' SmallGovIsBest
F...in crying about he might get taxed at 2%.
Go back to the office and count your money! Keep your politics to yourself. No one gives a sh_t what you think but CNBC who you appear on much too often.
Billionaires generate and secure their wealth through theft, genocide and terror. Spare your tears.
Hoarding money you and your family will *never* need and caring about those less fortunate are *mutually exclusive*.
Narrator: he does not care for anyone but himself.
A 🐊 Croc Crocodile tears Why does he get airtime? Why not highlight the suffering taxpayers in America who are subsidizing this idiot? This is another reason the TV is off!
We don't need billionaires who care by crying their eyes out. We need them to pay their fair share. That's caring. If you have a billion dollars you consume more resources than someone with a billion pennies.
This guy has done a 1000 times more for the less fortunate thank lw hard Warren has ever done or will ever do. Next to John Kerry she has zero accomplishments in the Senate. All hat. No cattle as they say.
I saw this interview today on and found Cooperman to be cloying and obnoxious. Bottom line: Billionaire Cooperman doesn't want to pay taxes.
We hear your tired mantra: “You don’t make poor people rich by making rich people poor”. Bla, bla, bla. No one is trying to make you poor!
1 million seconds is 11 days. 1 billion seconds is 31.5 years...let that sink in. It would take 30+ years to spend a billion dollars even if you spend $1 dollar every single second of every day. Billionaires have enough money already. Time to tax them at 80% like we used to.
There there. You'll feel better when you pay taxes.
Charities. Like the NRA? Sure bud. I trust you to do the right thing. 😉😁
Do they not realize “Warren 2020, brings billionaires to tears” will win her the election?
The real issue being there are too many cronies vs. too few grannies in the billionaire s club...
Well give away your money mr. “I care”
I have no obligation to care what he thinks.
I would switch places with him (indefinitely if need be) just to let him feel the liberating euphoria of not being emotionally weighed down with wealth
You don't care about anything but your fucking money BillionairesShouldNotExist
dude can care about deez
This billionaire investor is a fraud.
Can we please advocate for billionaires more, they are a very small segment of the population and as such don’t have much of a voice about their struggles
If he cared so fucking much, he would have been using his wealth philanthropically before he became targeted by the political left. The philanthropic argument is utter bullshit. Where was that philanthropy after the Reagan tax cuts? The W tax cuts? Why has wealth funneled up?
Amazing these billionaires are giving warren this awesome free publicity.
Navient is crooked.
He may care or may think he does, but he is likely very out of touch.
Ok rich white men stop crying and expecting us to react with sympathy. Professional women are VILIFIED if they cry, even when the logical and human response would be crying. You don't get to trash us for being human, then toss out crocodile tears to get a pass for being awful.
If he cared he wouldn't support Trump.
Say cnbc, can ya'll help us get a CLOSER look at the policy he's supported over the years...especially ones that impact families
He does not care.
and then refers to all of Warrens followers, non-billionaires, as the “lowest common denominator”
This guy can F all the way off. Navient supports for profit sham institutions that take advantage of people looking to better themselves. $20,000 and a bogus certificate later, and he’s making money off my struggle, and supporting the ass that enables this.
god if only we had some kind of term for when someone who clearly doesn't care pretends like they're really hurt so they don't get in trouble, like maybe comparing them to some sort of cold, uncaring aquatic reptilian predator, maybe 'caiman weeping' or 'alligator sadness' idk
Empirically speaking, you literally cannot accumulate a billion dollars unless you don’t care about actual thousands of workers. So, you know, it’s Very easy to call this man a liar
Why is he cryingm
Then why is he a fucking billionaire? Also, calling medicare for all, subsidized child care, things that help every day people “free stuff” is so on-brand for these jackasses.
Lol
Old people get sentimental it’s a fact of life. Nothing wrong with it
They know we figured them out. So their PR People told them 'Go look human and caring'. Act.
MakingBillionairesCry should be her campaign slogan
Lol are we supposed to feel either sympathy or empathy with this billionaire
I don't. Whatever he cares about, I don't.
this douchebag is part owner of AMI which owns the National Enquirer......
cry me a river
Why in the hell does any random billionaire automatically get airtime on news outlets? Why is this guys opinion relevant to the conversation again?
This man has defrauded and lied to veterans. This man is a traitor to the united states of america and what it stands for. If he does not stand ready to write a check to pay for his fair share he has no business being an american citizen and can leave. Promptly.
He is trash.
Great interview on CNBC this morning
Crocodile Tears. I don’t believe it.
I can't watch the video, does he blow his nose on a $1000 bill & toss it aside?
So gross. He’s crying about protecting his gazilion dollars and oppressing others. No. bluewave2020
Won’t somebody think of the billionaires?!
then get a non predatory job, coward from the age of american prosperity (that’s 1945-1975, btw)
Lol
He’s a deadbeat.
Sure you do, parasite.
Sod off old man.
Just not enough to help the country for real.
There is no such thing as a billionaire who made their money ethically.
It is great that this guy was able to make billions. There is zero reason for him to whine about having it taxed. There is no tax high enough that it will ever affect him negatively. He won't even notice it is gone. Greed is an addiction and he seems strung out.
He cares but not enough to impact his profit margins. Let the crocodile tears flow.
Lmao
'I care' - me, talking about eating the rich
There's no better argument for eliminating these ghouls than sitting them in front of a camera and letting them speak their diseased minds
Nobody cares about an old rich guy's opinions anymore,thanks
Cry more
Yea the shareholder of Navient 'cares' tell that to my $700 monthly payments for the next 25 years
billionairetears
Someone’s volunteering for bein...bringing dinner.
I care... About my wallet 😢
tomwfranck He embarrassed himself today
tomwfranck If he cares, he should give up his disproportionate wealth. Or fight for more equity in our society through taxes or corporate reform. I don't doubt he cares, as he is human, but he can still be hurting other human beings in spite of that
tomwfranck No he doesn't.
fact: billionaires don't deserve rights
Yes sir....we all know what you care about. 🤮
Was that what he told the SEC when he settled insider trading charges too? Waiting for the revelation Warren is paying him to go after her
Zuckerberg doesn't want to give away money either but he's smart enough not to go blubbering on tv, looking for sympathy. Talk about being tone deaf Jamie Dimon knows what way the wind is blowing, cooperman should ask him for his PR guy
tomwfranck cooperman and his hedge fund buddies and algo traders have financially gang raped the american pp and stolen teh streets cheap--they contributed nada to the USA--they need 2 b extradited to Israel
The delusion of a senile billionaire is that he has convinced himself that his wealth was made by him alone; the ancients warned of folks like him; and the biblical stories allowed them live, not eternal death, but everlasting examples of what not to do or be;
Most ill judged reading of the political climate - 'tea leaves I've ever seen Just who was he trying to convince?
Cooperman is great, but a bit disingenuous. I don't believe he doesn't know net wealth. His accountant surely does. He and other billionaires could do 2% of wealth, and have it be a rounding error. Maybe he'd prefer a progressive cap gains tax...30-40-45% over 100m instead?
Cooperman is wrong when he says a 2% wealth tax would wipe out Bezos' Amazon stake in 50 years. Even with no gain in Amazon price a 2% annual tax would not wipe out any sized stake.
A successful American good guy.
Stop with this nonstop coverage of Leon. No one gives a shit....
A billion doesn't go far these days..I'd cry too if I had to give part of it up
It was a great interview. If you want socialism, move to Cuba or Venezuela.
What a great interview. Cooperman speaks from the heart and echoes opinions of so many in this increasingly divided country.
Yes, he cares about not paying taxes on his billions
Maybe he was tearing up looking at his returns over the past three years? 🤷🏽♂️
Cooperman needs to shut the hell up.
Oh, there must be a crying on TV tax deduction partnership ?
Fascinating that a popular misconception about women running for office is that they’re too emotional. And out of the blue Leon Cooperman breaks down in tears. Twice.
The motto of the Left should be “hate the rich”. These people worked their butts off innovating, creating jobs, and products we love. Most of them deserve every dollar they have. They are not the reason you suck at life. That is your fault.
Our mission at is to build the social news network that ends fake news. Follow us Overlooked_Inc
I saw the interview. He made it very clear he supports Trumpy. Why they didn’t ask him would he still support Trumpy if it’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the president withheld tax payer aide to Ukraine for personal gain - is beyond me. Such wimps!
Billionaires care about keeping the equity created by other people’s labor for themselves.
Thanks for making us eat 2 Trillion so you could get a tax break, Patriot.
if you care then PAY FOR MY EDUCATION
You don't become a billionaire by working hard. You make a billion dollars by having it as your goal to accumulate that much, and exploiting other peoples' labor to do so. One may be mistaken to think that Bill Gates invented the computer, or Zuck the internet. But it's ours.
Is this the same guy from Goliath😜
'About keeping all of my, and some of your money'
Ppl just wanna be about AS Comfortable- u have money but i'm sure u don't spend- you mentioned liquidating something, but some ppl wouldn't even go the bank, wouldn't Blink So.
If he cared, he wouldn't be a billionaire.
We don’t care about cheating lying billionaires.
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves 😂
