Paul Singer is a financial predator and total ass (not to mention big part of rMoney’s financial empire). His concern is for his own bank account, but still appreciate the anti-Trump stance. Possible backer for “never-Trump” ®s? Look to influence at convention…
“Singer’s criticism of the presumptive GOP nominee shows how Trump has polarized traditional conservative donors.”
Right, into two sharply-divided camps: 1) Sheldon Adelson, and 2) Everybody else.
Trump: I want global depression. I will buy everything for few cents on the $$. I will be then a real Billionaire, may be a trillionaire.
I want to hang on that one fact for a minute—imagine there’s this fund out there whose only purpose is to mess up your world, and then imagine some guy donated a million bucks to it. A million dollars’ worth of fuck you. That’s deep.
What a complete scum sucking bottom feeder. NOW he ‘cares’…which is all a lie. When he thought he could lie and manipulate and enrich HIMSELF he was all in…when he thinks he can’t ‘control’ the message and the whole world will go into financial meltdown which will affect HIS bottom line he can’t scream loudly enough. Some people…
Singer is the founder of Elliott Management Corporation, a fund worth $27 billion that specializes in distressed debt acquisitions
There’s hardly anything more distressed than Trump’s campaign, but he’s not dumb enough to touch that.
Way to narrow that field of possible donors and voters there Donald…I guess it’s up to Appalachia to be your whole win model.
"And I think if he actually stuck to those policies and gets elected president, it’s close to a guarantee of a global depression, widespread global depression." (Billionaire Hedgefunder Paul Singer)
Please note he used the word “depression,” not recession. I’m not a big fan of Mr. Singer–though I will say that he is pro-gay rights and marriage equality and puts money where his mouth is with regards to those issues–but this is kinda big. Singer’s opinion carries a lot of weight – maybe not as much as Warren Buffett, but still he’s well-respected by many in the middle and on the right.
–used to be worth much more.
FIFY
If Singer cares to let us know the how such a downturn would effect the number of people patronizing Trump’s golf resorts his views might have some value. Otherwise is he really relevant?
I’m not even sure Adelson is still onboard. Trump hasn’t said much of anything about Israel over the past month and $100 million should be buying a whole lot of pandering.
Donald Trump’s economic policies or lack there of…
“Worldwide Global Depression” . . . . on the par with the one you and your cronies caused in 2008?
Messing up people’s world is basically Singer/Elliott’s schtick. Just ask Argentina.
So at least he’s consistent…
for pennies on the dollar, you too, can by some trump debt. paper your walls. give as gag gift, etc,
On the bright side, he’ll probably trigger a global thermonuclear war before he can get around to destroying the world economy (by more conventional means).
Tempting as it might be, it would be hypocritical for me to now suddenly find anything libertarian billionaire hedge fund managers say at the Aspen Ideas Festival to be anything but targets of mockery and scorn.
Even a stopped libertarian clock…
The only shock here is that hedgefund scum sucking predator Singer didn’t follow that with “…but I’ll vote for him anyway.”
