“I challenge you not merely to use your talents for financial speculation but to apply your great skills that you’ve learned and had to forging the steel and pouring the concrete of new American factories, plants, shipyards, and even cities which are going up all over our country"- Donald Trump


Anyone care to explain what the hell this even means? When has obtaining a business degree become a benefit while pouring concrete?

Make America Great Again. Earn your degree. Have a great future "forging steel and pouring concrete" as business majors.

He's encouraging the next generation of business leaders to invest in America, not play the stock market.

^ this

this might be up there for the most cringe threads made

Yeah he telling them to ignore the tax breaks, and markets of the world ..And invest in infrastructure of America unlike the rest of us that want more billions lol... Unless we force them to invest with heavy tax penalties ..They will just liquidate and move all to Canadian banks... Tariffs will just make us slaves to make up for the wealthy's tax breaks ..

building contractors build houses but they are not the ones actually doing the building, usually?

It means stop being lazy greedy bastards and get to work

Hello,

My dad owned a construction company. In fact his money left me set for a very long time until I was on my own. Having a business degree and specializing in real estate (where Trump made a huge sum of money) could absolutely be helpful when you are shopping for supplies and making deals with contractors. Price hikes/declines and economic hardships hurt the construction and real estate business daily. Knowing those business markets is very important.


I’m pretty sure you didn’t think about that aspect but a lot of construction business owners have business degrees.


Now will the ideas he SAYS he has work in reality the way the modern USA is shaped? I doubt it lol.

Try to imagine being a contractor entrepreneur and you're in a vital blue collar business such construction, repair, etc. Seems like it would help to have some business management pedigree, don't you think?
