These Silicon Valley types are kind of scary. Because they’re intellectually in a completely different world than Trump.

As long as they keep feeding him money he’ll be their puppet.

I like how trump says “that’s great” as if just learning about this.

Nike was founded at a time when Oregon had back to back Republican governors, and subsequent ones before and after that. Hardly a “Dem state” in the hardline sense it has been in modern times, when you guys decided to let the inmates run the asylum and, coincidentally, Nike has begun to slip in this era along with other businesses.

And Nike grew most (by far) under Democrats... It was a small podunk company under Republicans.

It didn't grow because of Democrats. But Democrats certainly didn't hurt it. And it certainly didn't grow because of Republicans, either.

Nike grew by positioning themselves as Pro Gear for the Rest Of Us, a scrappy, inclusive “if you have a body you’re an athlete” message, and something approaching a stance on social equality. The new CEO doesn’t believe in any of that, and got caught trying to freeze out wholesale partners to get a bigger piece of the pie by selling direct to customers, not caring (until it was too late) that customers stop buying Nike if they can’t find it at the stores they shop. Hubris and greed.

to be fair, searching that specific phrase ("herp de derp") in this forum, I found 3 posts by @julius, and none from you (except this most recent reply of yours to him). "Derp" by itself has many repeat users.

I’ve admittedly been a “Derp”er for close to 2 decades.

South Park was gold to me in my late teens/early 20’s

I'm going to give credit to the place I first saw it.

I found 7 instances of derp on my behalf when searching.
 
I digress though, @julius has quite the compilation of derps upon searching. Got me beat handily.

I'll give you props for calling it if it happens, but I'd be floored if it actually did. Nothing Trump has ever said or done suggests that he has the humility or self-awareness necessary to do such a thing.

it won’t be his decision
