TRUMP

Pay $16M to close an $8B deal. A tax of 8% on $8B is $640M. $16M is a pittance in comparison.

Paramount is playing Trump just like Russia, China and other nations have done: flatter Trump, make him look like a winner, grease his palm and get what you want.

The Skydance-Paramount deal, with an enterprise value pegged at $28 billion, promises a major shakeup in the media landscape. Skydance, valued at $4.75 billion in the merger, brings its production heft—think Mission: Impossible—to Paramount’s storied assets, including CBS and the Paramount film studio. National Amusements Inc. (NAI) shareholders, led by Redstone, will pocket $1.75 billion plus the assumption of NAI’s $650 million debt, totaling a $2.4 billion enterprise value. Paramount’s Class B common shareholders are set to receive $15 per share. Funding comes largely from the Ellison family—Oracle founder Larry Ellison is contributing $6 billion—alongside $2 billion from RedBird Capital Partners. An October filing clarified that Skydance CEO David Ellison, not Larry, will hold 100% of the family’s voting interests in the merged entity.
 
Awesome. When a terrorist or major natural disaster kills hundreds of Americans, the MAGAts will blame Biden again. LOL

After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden​

“If you look at that water situation, that was really the Biden setup,” Trump said.

Trump quickly clarified that he wasn’t actually blaming Biden – he cited the historic nature of the floods – but there is no question he was attempting to shift potential responsibility for any government missteps to his predecessor.

And indeed, this has become Trump’s M.O. When something bad happens – including tragedy – Trump’s reflex has been to blame his predecessor. And often, despite Leavitt’s admonishment, he casts blame very quickly.
