Why do people listen to this clown at all. He's Maple Trump lite.

  1. On Dragon's Den, he misrepresented himself on a $3B software deal he brokered, but had no equity.

  2. Mattel lost all their investment on that deal.

  3. He setup the O'Leary fund, it underperformed vs other funds and eventually was sold off at a loss.

  4. He loses everyone around him money.

Don't taunt Kevin, or his wife might kill you with a speedboat.

His eyeball pops out as I sit at a table nearby eating my spaghetti diner. And I can tell you, that's the best spaghetti I ever had.

Fuck that traitor piece of shit. Could not have happened to a more appropriate shit stain. So glad I never have to see his dick face on Dragon’s Den (Canadian version of Shark Tank) anymore.

I hope to never see his dick face again anywhere

I'm crushing your head.

All these people that are griping are utterly clueless as to how this was set up. They all thought foreigners would be paying everything. How did their tiny brains imagine that would work?

MAGA thought everyone would be so grateful to do business in the US, they would pay the tariffs.

O'Leary has a bachelor's degree in environmental studies and psychology from the University of Waterloo. He's one of Doug Ford's mythical basket weavers.

And also, it's a tax on the usa consumer/buyer, not on the exporter lol.

What a stupid asshole...

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 163d

Tattoo 'I'm a feckless idiot' on your squeezed head, you whiny cunt.

“I got phone calls from our customers, from our lenders because we board against our line of credit, and from our shareholders that we reduce distributions on during this period waiting to settle on the tariffs,” he said.

While O'Leary is rightfully eating shit for a stupid trump-simping accelerationist take that everyone knew was garbage, I mostly want to point out how what somebody's transcription software did to his accent, because I'm a dork.

To roughly quote Ricky Gervais: "His head is so squishable!"

He really sounds as if squeezing his head coudn't do much damage.
