Banks and investment firms took him seriously and this was the result..
Financial support for fossil fuel projects has waned for both environmental and financial reasons. The return on investment of carbon-intensive fuels is no longer the guarantee it once was.

Same difference. Too old.

But YOU are proven now to be a dumb ass LIAR! Trump is NOT 80 years old! Evidently though you are considerably older as you seem to have forgotten,... there's this thing known as the "internet"!!!

I'm not gonna put up with a wannabe dictator over a few bucks. I'm not that hard up.

And where is the PROOF Trump is a "wannabe dictator"! Remember Harris' Dad is a marxist teacher. And she believes all capitalism is criminal. Which means you think that too! Right? I bet you work for the government in some way!
Thank goodness Trump will be elected and continue reducing swamp rats like you as he eliminated 22 regulations for every 1 new one. But of course being the type of person who needs all sorts of rules and regulations as you aren't responsible and honest enough to be a grownup!

The first thing a criminal regime does when it takes over a country is to corrupt the media and issue government based propaganda in place of the truth. Democrats didn't have a problem because the left wing media became the willing accomplice in the lie about Biden's mental health for three years and the left wing media pretty much controls the information.

YES tax revenues went up!
The truth is, the Trump tax cuts resulted in economic growth that was a full percentage point above CBO’s forecast, and federal revenues far outpaced the agency’s predictions. In fact, under Trump tax policies in 2022, tax revenues reached a record high of nearly $5 trillion, and revenues averaged $205 billion above CBO predictions for the four years following implementation of the law.

Legislation enacted in response to the pandemic also continued to affect revenues in 2022.
Reported receipts from individual income taxes, the largest source of revenues,
increased by $588 billion (or 29 percent).
Such collections rose from 9.0 percent of GDP in 2021 to a new historical high of 10.5 percent in 2022.

Is there no wonder fewer and fewer people have a negative view of Trump and truly only really informed and intelligent people recognize the extreme bias of the MSM like CBS,NBC,ABC, etc.

Hilarious

Still using an estimate not actual fact.

Excerpt from Factcheck.

When the Trump-championed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect in 2018, economists saw an opportunity to test the theory that tax cuts pay for themselves due to economic growth.

Six years later, Trump says the results are in and that the U.S. took in more revenue after corporate tax cuts in the TCJA. Revenues actually went down in the first two years after the TCJA was enacted, and then the pandemic hit — which muddied analyses of the TCJA’s impact.

Revenues went up after 2020, though economists say revenues are not up as much as was expected in the absence of the TCJA when taking inflation into account. And the government’s nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said the tax law is contributing to rising national debt, and would add hundreds of billions to the nation’s debt if all the individual income tax provisions set to expire at the end of 2025 are extended.

As the data show, corporate tax revenues dropped in 2018, the first year of the TCJA, and were lower still by the first quarter of 2020.
