You fucking morons. No one sabotaged Trump. He got mad when she said people left his rallies, started ranting about eating dogs and the crazy train never stopped.

The moderators never made him say all the crazy shit he said. They didn’t make “they’re eating the dogs” a meme.

    It’s interesting to me how Ackman was portrayed in the 2016 Betting On Zero documentary as some kind of social champion for the poor who wanted to end the exploitation of regular working/middle class Americans by Herbalife.

    When watching that that depiction of Ackman rang hollow, no matter how hard they tried to push that narrative. It just seemed like a financial battle royale where both sides were scumbags. And now, of course, that’s been confirmed (yet again). He’s just another entitled ultra-rich asshole peddling bullshit for his own selfish, exploitative intentions.

      I mean, it and the other Herbalife docu’s were a propaganda war between Ackman and Carl Icahn.

      Both were in the middle of a nasty feud and kept taking opposite trades. The docu was a hit piece to try and bolster Ackman’s short position. (Which was taken after Icahn took a long position.)
