    But I thought he was a genius. 😥

    America doesn’t deserve him. He should return to South Africa.

      He spent the equivalent of $100 for someone with $100k. It’s only a lot of money to us. To him it’s nothing.

      Nah. You deserve him just like you deserve Trump - last time I checked, the US was still the violent global enforcer of white supremacism and liberal oligarchy.

        $420B. it was all just paper.

        But the $445M was real money spent.

          To an extent. It’s $420B that he can’t take loans against anymore.

          He still has more money than you and me put together, but it’s a start.
