Barry Diller: "If Trump Wins I'll Move Out Of The Country"
IAC/Interactive Chairman Barry Diller spoke with Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker about many things including the state of the TV industry, Tinder, and Jack Dorsey at the Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit in New York today. However, the one thing that caught our attention was the prominent Democrat's characterization of what he would do if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.
His quote:
"If Donald Trump doesn’t fall, I'll either move out of the country or join the resistance. I just think it's a phenomenon of reality television as politics and I think that that is how it started. Reality television, as you all know, is based on conflict. All he is is about conflict and it's all about the negative conflict. He's a self-promoting huckster who found a vein, a vein of meanness and nastiness."
The reality is that many, if not most US corporate executives, comfortable with the close relationship their money has with D.C. career politicians whom they know they can buy and manipulate without reproach, share Diller's sentiment.
Which is why one wonders if despite all his various misgivings, having Trump in the oval office may well be worth if only for the mass exodus of all those who have co-opted US democracy, who have equated corporations with people, who have put the "crony" in crony capitalism, and who have been the sole beneficiaries of the $3 trillion in Fed asset purchases to date, purchases which are set to continue shortly.

You know the old sayin' --- don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out...
He doesn't get it. The people want anything other than a politician . Even if it is a piece of shit!
Diller and his multigazillion deisgner artiste wife host the Clintons to fab vac-a-s!
Will the rest of his kind follow? Sign me up
Someone doesn't want to be taxed everytime his High Frequency Algo spoofs a bid, me thinks ...
Bring on The Donald!
TRUMP: VOTE FOR WHO THE SOCIALIST JEW MEDIA ATTACKS THE MOST
Didn't Robert Redford say the same thing about Bush?
Nobody who says 'If X wins I'll leave the country' ever does.
Well there were those several million people called The Confederate States of America.
yeah but the f--king c-nts wouldn't let us leave. marched an army down here. I hold a grude a long time.
He's not a jew?
He is married to a jewess, when these Elite types aren't jews they are married to jews or their children marrry jews.
Diller was born and raised in a Jewish household in San Francisco, California, and is the son of Reva (Addison) and Michael Diller.[4][5]

Nobody stopped the south from seceding. If you hadn't attacked Fort Sumpter you would be free (except the slaves) to this day,
I'm not familiar with Fort Sumpter. Did you mean Fort Sumter? Also, are you familiar with Lincoln's First Inaugural Address in which he stated that he would attack the south if they didn't continue to pay levies to Washington? Guess not.
If I get elected I'll leave. I promise.
I'm in the process of it now. House: sold, car: gone, debt: zero, foreign residency: yep
That was Alec Baldwin and that was back in 2004 when Bush was campaigning for his second term and Alec wanted John "Liveshot" Kerry to win. Alec threatened to leave our country and live in France and when Bush won reelection, Alec remained here. Too bad for his consistency.
" as you all know, is based on conflict. "
Got it. Completely unlike Obama, whose Presidency has been about breaking down the walls of conflict and bringing everyone together, promoting love and peace... not just here but around the world.
And, now you know why, and completely understand why he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
(OK, the fact that he received it before he actually accomplished anything just shows the beneficence illuminating from his being.)
Would you expect anything less from a European NWO Know-it-all organization?
Socialist stupidity and sarcasm are indistiguishable on the interwebz.....
Whenever the lamestream media turns on a candidate you know this happens because they won't play ball with the bought-n-sold crowd.
BTW: This guy looks like he's crossed bred with a reptile. I'm just not sure if it's a snake or lizard.
Go to hell, Dildo... oops meant Israhell.
Who the hell is this Diller guy and why are his opinions so important, all of the sudden ? I never heard of him so I would't care much if he leaves, stays, or gets hit by a train... Apart from that, he sure has an ugly wife !

Possible explanation to your questions and observations:

barry is a real man's man..and I mean that in the most homophobic way..insane but wealthy and somewhat powerful in MSM, now you know how we get so many homo's and that ellen degenerate type in tv and movies ..shoved down our throats, (sorry that phrase might just excite diller)..
That's Diane von Firstinbed! Who else around here remembers that name from an old Playboy cartoon? (Maybe from the late 50's)
i think it's phillis husband.
B' Bye, Barry; hope the door leaves a nice deep mark in your fat, white A**...
[PS: Don't blame me; I'm voting for Kodos...]
Fuck off Barry. Let me buy you plane ticket to whereever you want now. Get the fuck out.
Nothing the mob hates more than a turncoat rat.
Trump is a threat to the cronyism that ALL these fuckers rely on. They know nothing else. To eliminate their ability to manipulate and motivate through bribery and extortion, would be akin to earthlings losing gravity. Understandably they have adapted and contributed to this disaster forever, and it is now not a distortion or aberration, but a reality, a way of life. You can bet they will fight losing it with their very souls.
Trump has largely made his fortune from this reality yet sees it for what it is. IF (and that is in no way certain) he does turn on them, does shine a powerful light on their actions, he could be the most devastating man on the planet.....and likely a soon to be dead one.
DILLER is a guy who has made his money off of protecting DC and therefore part of crony capitalism and paying off the politicians - i respect him for that- Trump is showing that they FEAR him at the hghest level especially with his position on TTP
Trump is our decaration of war against the establishment lets hope he can be effective further decarations will be messier....
Yeah, rebels unite and bring on the "assault weapons" ban and single payer healthcare that the Donald loves!
God help you if he's your best hope.
But seriously, if you think he or any of the others will be in any way significantly different you're in for a big disappointment.
I know your most likely right and it saddens me, many of you have children. This is going to hurt..
I'll help you pack, scumbag.
Fucking Ferengi.
I'll bring the boxes & packing tape to help u pack, u chrome dome kmjerome. arrogant overprivileged douche bag. How about you get dropped off in the middle of an Iran desert in ur skivvies with a can of Pennzoil.
If Obama and the Bushes and the Clintons and the Neocons move out, Trump will be well worth it
Like it wasn't Reality TV before Trump?
Like politics isn't based on conflict?
Politics is entertainment for people too stupid to understand the complexities of pro wrestling.
Funny...but not real real funny..but still kinda funny.
Pro wrestling and I can mutually ignore one another with no effect on either party. I can ignore politics all I want, but politics will not ignore me and I will be adversely affected whether I ignore it or not.
Like politics isn't based on conflict?
But why is that a good reason to fall for the false dichotomy of Trump v. Establishment?
I think Trump is sarcastically funny and would make a great president.
We need someone who can recognize hypocrisy and either laugh it off or do something to correct it, as far as I can see only a few Candidates even come close to having the ability to see hypocrisy and recognize it.... R.Paul and D.Trump and a few others who are too marginal and fringe to mention but they are there.
I would party if Trump wins, because regardless of his policies as president, its sure to be a fun presidential term to witness ;P
I think peoples expectations about trump are a bit over-blown for sure, but not in the same way they were with Obama, people would be willing to settle with a little less from Trump.
Obama promised to solve decade old problems, imbalances, hypocrisy in govt, but he has only exacerbated the same issues.
Trump thinks Edward Snowden is a traitor. The MIC/NSA/CIA/FBI will love him, in other words, so there's really nothing more you need to know:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/2/donald-trump-edward-snowd...
You libertarians are always running off the cliff citing your rule book.
”If you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, vote for me. If you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist.”
-Ed Koch
If you vote at all, even a psychiatrist can't help. This can, though:
https://www.lewrockwell.com
Individual liberty and responsibly? That's crazy talk!
Trump is part of the system, no matter how hard he tried to convince you otherwise. Trump is a life long democrat, is or was an employee for NBC. The presidency is just one more step to feed his oversized ego. I refuse to fall for the propaganda. Meet the new boss, same as all the previous bosses.
There are some issues that are non starters for me. Like gun control. I don't care if you are a fucking genius and agree to mow my lawn- I will not vote for you if you are a gun grabber.
I have the same isssue with Snowden. He is a patriot. He sacrificed his way of life to let us know that the government was violating our Constitutional Rights, 4th amendment rights. Calling him a traitor is absolute bullshit. Any candidate willing to prosecute Snowden for revealing the truth- well that's a non starter for me.
Trump's candidacy was dead for me as soon as he uttered that bullshit.
Snowden IS a traitor, but so what? He broke laws and shit.
Snowden can be a traitor AND a hero. We can be a traitor to our government and yet a hero to its people. Most of our founders were traitors.
Try to not get too caught up in the rhetoric.
Now if Trump suggests Snowden be executed or some shit like that, he may need a slap.
Guess he needs a slap, then:
“I think Snowden is a terrible threat, I think he’s a terrible traitor, and you know what we used to do in the good old days when we were a strong country — you know what we used to do to traitors, right?” Trump said. — http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/2/donald-trump-edward-snowd...
Well hopefully he "moderates" his point of view eventually. Is there ANYONE running who has not referred to Snowden as a traitor? I honestly don't know. I believe there are lots of people out there who really don't know much about it and have invested nothing into finding out. Most people seem content with ignorance as their best mental defense against what we all face. Snowden is a traitor, a criminal, a threat...well then ok...off with his head...next?? Its just that simple for most folks. Politicians KNOW better, which gives them even more cause to demand his head. I will give Trump the benefit of the doubt for the time being. He is no way a sure thing for me, but you got to love the way he makes them sweat!
So you're going to vote, regardless. Thanks for doing your part to perpetuate a status quo aligned entirely against you and yours and me and mine.
Or are you one of the 1%?
It's so cute to think that stamping your feet and doing nothing will solve anything. We have enough futility in the world as is. Maybe voting won't fix anything, but not voting is guaranteed to do nothing. It seems that fully half the country already is not voting, so you should have plenty of company without berating those who do not agree with your hopelessness. You are obviously convinced that things are pretty fucked, but I hate to tell you that things can most definitely get a lot worse.
As a small business owner my income "status" varies quite a bit, but its pretty irrelevant now as when things start to come apart there will be no safe place, and those who are best equipped mentally will be the ones who survive. I hope to be in that 1%
A principled non-vote is as much an action as voting, and if enough people took action in this manner, it would have a profound effect on national politics. Even without it, however, the people's disgust with the central government is growing daily, and momentum continues to build for the one vote from which all others — if they are to have any meaning — depend:
http://www.cnbc.com/2014/09/22/texas-independence-must-happencommentary....
BAM!
I hope that makes yer day.
Thanks, good to know.
Yea we need another elite ego maniac running the country. By all means, get on out there and vote for another.
The fuck he is. Your government's the traitor. They're the ones violating your constitutional rights. Snowden simply told you. Let no good deed go unpunished.
good MFer. i'll be 1st to show you the door and give boot in the ass.
Nobody really cares, Barry
Please do ratface
Barry Diller looks more like an elderly constipated Bulldog.
Good. And join all your libtard buds who never held good to the very same promise a la GWB.
Yes, I remember all of those who said they would leave if W was elected (or re-elected).
Broken promises, Libtards! What else is new...?
Seems like a natural evolution from Kabuki theatre to Reality TV. Don't think Diller is speaking the truth.
Heretic. A drug-addled, porn-and-donuts, war-mongering society deserves Camacho. The lounge chair warmers are lining-up...
Yanks are utterly cocked whatever they do, it's the new American way don't 'cha know.
Well hell yes us yanks deserve the Donald.
Say what you will about Camacho, He saw a problem, found the most competent person he could, and assigned him to fix figure it out and fix it or else. That's more competence the I’ve seen in Gov in my adult lifetime (30Yrs).

Liar
Trump says goodbye. He wants a bunch to leave the country
Fuck him. Moving out of the country would be the second best thing he could do for the U.S. A nail gun accident would be even better.
I like you.
maybe i should register to vote
Don't do that. Just keep enjoying the show.
"maybe i should register to vote "
You're kidding, right?
What for?
Because if it just gets rid of one primordial, scum sucking, Jewish bastard like Bbbbarry Ddddickhead Ddddiller, I'll register to vote.
IF you think voting can solve problems then please explain why hasn't it worked at all up to this point?
No don't leave. I like your other idea, join the resistance. And since there ain't one, that leaves you to fight it out. Need sum boolits?
That's what I thought. He'd be with the FSA resistance. LOL, good luck with all that you fucktard.
Who would have him? Worthless, flabby, untrained and untrainable POS.
I hope more Barry's make the move.
Barry is gay for Obama .
That makes him Phyllis Diller.
Barry Dildo.
Phallus Didler.
In Roman times Trump would be Nero and he would sit and watch the reality show in the Coliseum/
All the while pretending his bread and circuses were for the good of the people.
Ave Caesar!
I think you need to take a better look at who is providing all of the bread and circuses right now...and telling us how grand it all is...RECOVERY SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER...AGAIN.
There is a special place reserved for people like Barry Diller. The American penal colony of Puerto Rico.
Good, one less faggot commie prick. another reason to vote for Trump
I worked at IAC's offices in LA on Sunset Blvd (in a relatively high position, e.g. director). Literally everyone I know that works in that building that has met Barry has called him "nasty", "mean" or some derivation or synonym thereof. This guy is well known to be a complete fucking asshole. So, I care not one word what this dickhead says.
Hard to believe...
If it were only that easy.
Well.....bye. Another whiny dual-citizen thief. You got your ethno-state(parasitic Israel), which no one else in the West is allowed to have, so get going.
Good, leave!
One less left winger!
Amen to this. Trump is just like Putin - a grossly ignorant, egomaniacal buffoon. It's only a matter of time until Trump starts parading around with his shirt off.
You just joined ZH so here's a tip. Leave your ignorance at the door. You look like a paid fool...
No but I think it's hilarious that the the boys at Savushkina 55 really believe that these posts are passing for the opinion of "average americans".
Got news for you boys - it not even close to working. These posters here remind me of the jackasses that work at Indian call centers. They are so sure that they pass for American, but they're totally wrong.
yomutti, you be a real american then you becha huh?? prove it.
one hint "yomutti" your a goat fucker no?
Like the really smart ones are doing us such a service!
Rather have a dumb one that might be honest than a smart one who's greatest claim to fame is lying continuously while never have had a finger of accountability laid upon him.
Amen to this. Trump is just like Putin - a grossly ignorant, egomaniacal buffoon. It's only a matter of time until Trump starts parading around with his shirt off.
AMF. Maybe Barry will take you with him. He'll probably need a manservant or two.
Grab them ankles!!

Can anyone name a single person who actually followed through on an "If X is elected I'm leaving the country" threat?

Ah, DailyKos.
They make HuffPo look like FoxNews.
Is this not a huge endorsement for Trump when Wall Street shyster B Diller is running scared? Granted, I don't think the way this guy does but it comes off as a win for The Donald.
Diller hypocrite!
(Disaster) Capitalism is based on competition which breeds conflict.
Msm stooge. No great loss there.
Not like he'd be singin' Kumbaya any time soon.
Barry Diller sez! " He's a self-promoting huckster who found a vein," Yes he sells cheap clothes for high prices, to women who don't know any better! No thats not Trump is it, must be that other fellow, you know, whats his name!
Hell yes. These rats keep promising to jump ship if the Donald wins.
Maybe they will all move out there to that other country with that has been Baldwin.
He moved all the way to New York.
Lol.
How sweet the Donald is. Even if he doesn't win.
The lamentations, knashing of teen, and rending of garments are wonderous to behold.
While I'm in no way convinced that Trump is our best choice, I do love the damage he is doing. And Sanders is giving a good airing of his socialist principles. If he keeps gaining in the polls he might well start handing out signed copies of Das Kapital. Too funny...to laugh
America both needs and deserves Trump.
Hit the bricks zionist talmud faggots. Good luck in the European Union. Your glass is half empty....

As long as his checks arrive on time...
Never heard of Barry Diller but Trump is an Eminent Domain thief who has very nasty habit of engaging government authorities to seize people's homes and other property via eminent domain so that Trump can acquire the property for his real estate development projects.
Many do not have the resources to fight these seizures so they take their lumps along with their 'just' compensation and move with their families, losing neighbors, friends, schools, etc.
Two who have fought back and won include Vera Coking, an elderly widow who lived in Atlantic City and Michael Forbes, a Scottish farmer.
He fights to win. The real question is if he wins the presidency, is he fighting for us, for America, or for himself. I see no reason to suspect him of self interest over any others. They all appear as snakes in the grass to me. At least the rattler lets you know he's there.
Aw these guys are all full of shit they never move.
Well who the fuck is Barry Diller??? Seriously, I am in touch more than 95% of the population. At the same time, I've never heard of Barry Diller. I've heard of a Dildo which I presume is part of the same family lineage but not Diller. What's more, he has never been to a Revernd's conference so I can only presume he is some shit for brains liberal that is full of his feces full self. It never fails, all of these stupid son's of bitches left wing degenerate liberals never fail to say they are moving if so and so gets elected. So move you stupid inbred son of a bitch. Join Barbaara Steisand and countless other degenerates who have in the past threatened to move. They never do but this is supposed to be news????? Important news??? Fuck!!! Stay here and hopefully get shot dead at the next Ferguson riot.
---
Well, if you're a Trump supporter... maybe Diller is right...
Yeah, his mom's name was Phyllis.
This POS hating Trump is one more reason to support him.
who cares if you move... move.
So all the malfeasance and douchebaggery up until now has been fine and good with you,
It's Trump that has your knickers in a knot?
Leave now why wait?
Fuck that guy is hideous looking....if I saw him in a dark alley I'd shit myself.
You should see his wife. Two demons of a feather flocking together.
Here you go.

Rough...I mean ruff!
When an elder of zion, one who is in charge of media programming of the donkeys, comes out against Trump, Trump must be doing something right.

I will admit that Trump has a few good points. The most interesting thing here is that some of the people here supporting him don't realize he'd like to put his foot into the ass of Asswad and Putin from day one. He wants to deport the Syrian refugees and then let Putin bloody himself silly then walk in and pick up the easy money. Like I said, he makes a few good points.
Trump is a New Yorker and Ivy Schooler. Many of the views he is espousing are popular among Republicans but new to Trump. When he gets the nomination, he will moderate his views for the general electorate. After he is elected, he will appoint a moderate to 'liberal' cabinet. Once he takes the oath, he will start doing things conservatives don't like and, before long, the will hate him even more than Obama. Trump might even switch parties like his friend Bloomberg did.
david, good summary of what HE MIGHT DO, he also might shock you, with the others running there is no suspense - we all know they will fuck us..so there's that.
Trump is a product, like most in the West, of the domonite neocon/neoliberal ideology.
He'll do what Clinton, Bush, and Obama did before him, conform to the corruption regime that rules.
jtg, you know this how?
what barry is worried about is all the money he has given to the current pols in DC, might not buy him much juice if Trump wins..talking his book as they say on the street.
Who's Barry Diller and is he the head of something?
Great. It just might be worth putting up with Trump for four years to get rid of Diller.
Oh, by the way, I wonder what country would let him move in? Nobody, I mean nobody wants ugly old bald guys.
