1. Is that real?

If so, that's gotta sting!

[oldsoftie]

3. Its not real. Buffett doesnt speak like that. And he doesnt speak politics.

The STATEMENT is accurate of course
And the only reason Trump IS a billionaire is because daddy gave him over 400 million dollars. If you gave ME 400 million 20-30 yrs ago I'd be a billionaire too.

[PJMcK]

2. From a REAL billionaire

Trump is a total fraud.

Real billionaires don't bankrupt casinos.

Real billionaires don't try to sell steaks, water, piss-poor vodka or any other "minor" items.

All Trump does is beg for money.

He's pathetic.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. This is the closest Trumpy ever got to an actual billionaire.

[wolfie001]

5. If this is not a real post....

....then why is it even appearing here? I'm a rah rah go Dems guy but it just makes DU look petty and vacuous.

[secondwind]

13. Have to agree... or at least put a disclaimer

[japple]

6. He spends more time begging for money than a TV preacher. eom

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. It's made up

27. Which makes the scoreboard now

Good guys 1 or 2
Bad guys ad infinitum.

twas quite funny!

8. Explains the Top Secret documents room at Marmalardo.

“Everything’s on sale.”

“Make an offer.”

“Two for One Special!”

“No reasonable offer refused.”

“Cash and carry.”

“All sales final.”

9. And no SCIF needed. n/t

[onenote]

10. Do we really need to be posting fake quotes here?

A bit of due diligence before posting generally is good practice.

11. Whoever wrote that is quite correct.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

12. In tRump's world, everything is transactional.

Just ask Stormy.

He's even turned his ex-wife's grave into an enterprise.

He acts transactional with his own children.

He's used his political supporter base as an ATM.

I would love to be a fly on Warren Buffett's wall and hear his real thoughts on tRump.

14. This is a God awful take

and disgusting.

Buffet is punching down on the poor, people who have absolutely nothing.
If anything, he needs his wealth seized and redistributed so we can build housing for unsheltered people all across this country and get #HousingForAll done.

The word "bum" is a pejorative rooted in racism. It stigmatizes being poor & is very offensive because it implies that they are homeless because of laziness and not other reasons. Gee, what old racist trope involves being "lazy" I wonder?

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. But since you already know Buffet never said it

you also know Buffet's wealth is irrelevant here. Go after whoever faked the quote.

[AntivaxHunters]

21. I wasn't aware it's fake

Been busy today and haven't researched it.
I need a vacay and a few beers so bad right now......ugh.

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. Links in #7 and #10 in this thread

and about half the other replies doubting it.

[AntivaxHunters]

24. I've not read them

Thanks for the heads up

20. Buffett gives away more money a week than some people make in a lifetime.

Buffett is a philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent[12] of his fortune to philanthropic causes,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

[AntivaxHunters]

22. Why does he do that?

So he can write it off on his taxes.
Billionaires doing philanthropy is a scam to avoid paying taxes and every billionaire is a policy failure.
End the tax loopholes, tax the rich, and then eat them!
Pass the BBQ sauce!

[KS Toronado]

25. That's some real "Fried Green Tomatoes" stuff there

How many Billionaires give away 99% of their fortune to reduce taxes?

How many Billionaires tell the US government to tax me more, I can afford it?

How many Billionaires live in their childhood home they grew up in?

Sure you want to bash him?

[progressoid]

28. Sure.

He's sitting on 100 billion. He's 91. What's he waiting for?

I know he's supposed to be one of the "good billionaires" but with his wealth and influence he could have done radical things in the last couple decades. Instead, he's mostly making (and hoarding) more money.

[AntivaxHunters]

32. Yup I'm sure

Every billionaire has exploited the poor & working class to amass their fortune.

[burrowowl]

30. I like the sign!

[Upthevibe]

15. Kick. N/T

[TFRD]

16. Bums...Really?!

I'd hope this is not a real statement!

The bums I've witnessed are millionaires and billionaires who mooch off tax payers' resources and prey on consumers, so they can make even more money. This, all while the homeless roam; and starvation takes hold around the World; and humans are trafficked; and our World's climate is in dire straits; and........

17. Buffett is correct about TFG

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Ha ha heh. Mr. BuffetT speaks truth. djt does spend a lot of f**king time asking for money. Why

and why always? Is he broke?

[Cha]

26. Boom

[KPN]

29. Ouch! That's gotta hurt. Don't even have to hope.That was

Warren Buffett after all.

[AKwannabe]

31. Dayyyyyyyum!

Damn that was a burner. And tRump is a bum of the highest order!

[ffr]

33. Classic!
