Not a chance. Ferengi actually believe in the rules of acquisition, and try to abide by them. Diddlin’ Donnie doesn’t have any principles outside of whatever benefits him in that exact moment.

Trump respects rule 17: A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi

He breaks every contract he has that’s not with Ferengi

Is that really part of the Star Trek canon? They really went all out with their European Jew stereotyping, huh? Goddamn, lol.

What he thinks benefits him, and hes a moron. That's why he's sucks at business and diplomacy so hard.

Ok yeah, you’re spot on there. And you can immediately discount the notion of any long-term considerations.

If Trump was a Ferengi on Ferenginar, he'd have long ago been sent off of the Tower of Commerce.

What episode is this from?

It's a parody of this scene.

Let's not besmirch the Ferengi. Grand Nagus Rom (with the assistance of Leeta and his Moogie) have brought more reform and progress than we could ever think to get from... him.

The Ferengi wouldn't be so low as to promote christofascism.

[–] weegee90@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Those two Ferengi pretended to be prophets in that one Voyager episode, so they're definitely not above using religion or politics to swindle people.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 day ago

They were also just really shit Ferengi in general.

Hoarding all the wealth to the point that the population is absolutely destitute and no economy can grow and advance...

Oh wait, they're just real capitalists.

I haven't seen that one, my mistake.
