Did he have their confidence to begin with? You'd have to be an imbecile not to see this guy's glaring faults as a buisnessman. Give me a break with this. Trump has always been a useful idiot and he's starting to make the other rich assholes angry with his narcissistic antics.

Billionaire investor aka rich guy who buys stuff is trying super hard to sound reasonable and professional but he's part of the problem. Too many rich guys buying stuff and making the world worse for it. From Wikipedia:

A longtime donor to Democratic candidates and organizations, Ackman endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election. Ackman has expressed public support for Israel's actions in the Gaza war and has demanded the publication of the names of Harvard students involved in signing a letter condemning statements from Israeli officials.

Yeah this guy is pissed that his "investment" in Trump isn't working out so well. Everything with these assholes is transactional.

He never had their confidence, but they did think there would be an opportunity to get wealthier. Now they’re losing money. They never thought that the face eating leopard would eat their faces.

The funny thing is that Trump was always seen as a joke by 99% of the New York City business community.

He lost a bundle when he couldn't hold onto the Plaza Hotel.
