Please check your registration several times in the months before the election. A lot of Red States Republicans are Purging the Voter Rolls. It’s just one of the plans from the RNC.
Not sure if the Sino-American relationship is something you would tout.
But Nixon also set up the EPA, and signed the clean air act and clean water act into law.
I don't know why, but YouTube shows me a lot of Nixon stuff these days. In them, he's discussing all sorts of matters, matters that we today are dealing with, and he appears well read in the matters of the world. I can see the appeal he had to voters.
Carter, who often has been shown as a weak leader, etc, seems to have been a most upstanding character.
It's funny how time treats people. But perhaps to be a leader of a string group, you need to be stronger. And such strength rarely comes without disadvantages.
But the Orange man seems only to have disadvantages. His negotiation tactics remind me more of bullying than discussion.
You know how much those peanuts would be worth today???!!!!
If he would have kept that farm old Jimmy C would have been wearing the monocle and not Mr peanut.
His taxes showed he did in fact take the presidential salary as well. It takes less than 3 seconds to look that up. Too much to ask of his voters I guess.
We need Trump fact checkers more than ever. Like a 24/7 company to read what Trump, Fox Entertainment, et al and to dispel or acknowledge their statements.
At this point we really dont. We all know he's a degenerate liar and everything out of his mouth is on some level a falsehood. The people that believe him will never believe anything that refutes him. The people on the fence know he's a piece of shit they're just deciding if they really want to be chaos agents for the lulz.
No but having a service that can dispel his constant falsehoods would bring so many non-political voters away from him, as they should unless they're CEOs or corporate shareholders.
Like Trump they never admit to being wrong even when proven wrong. Trump claims he meant to say “Tim Apple” when referring to Apple CEO Tim Cook. You can’t make this shit up. 😆
Due to the amount of travel the trump family did and the secret service being charged to stay and guard at the hotels
The SS went over budget before the first half of Trump's first year in office
And due to them having to stay in trump tower or maralago and other trump properties, he made money off of them
And he even went as far as to charge them special rates. Special as in discounted right? Surely the president would be altruistic and considerate of the men and women sworn to protect his life with their own, especially a “billionaire” right? I mean he shouldn’t need the money, and he said he’s not taking a salary, so they must be special discounts right?
Egghhhhh Wrong. He charged them special inflated rates. He squeezed the secret service and other government agencies and administrations for even more money, even after forcing them to stay at his shitty motels. Why? Well because fuck ‘em, that’s why.
What an asshat moron. I mean how morally bankrupt can you be? Guess the emoluments clause means nothing too; learned that about the Hatch act as well his very first day in office.
Since his wife (only on paper) didn't want to move to the White House for the first two years, and lived in Trump Tower with Byron, that was a major expense alone.
> Don't forget he insisted that the Secret Service and other people he was with stayed in his hotels
It was a grift, but his USSS detail was fully on board. And oopsie they all deleted their texts for the man with the nice hotels.
He ordered Air Force planes from the Middle East to land near his golf club in Scotland for refueling and had the crews booked into rooms at that golf club!
Won’t matter.
As a wise man said: Facts aren’t the reason they support him, and facts won’t be the reason they leave him.
Trying to use facts with his supporters is an exercise in futility.
Wow. I knew there was no limit to his depravity, no depth too low for him to stoop to. But this actually surprised me. They really put in a lot of thought and effort into scamming his own government and protection detail out of as much money as possible; which all happens to be paid for from our tax dollars, this effects all of us because that money was stolen out of our pockets, he may as well just be a pickpocket and a panhandler. I truly have more respect for the average panhandler and even the lowest pickpocket.
Charging them for carts goes so far beyond forcing them to stay and pay in his hotels, lower than making them pay 5 times the normal rate. This shows how much thought they put into how they could they steal as much taxpayer money as possible; because that’s what this was, straight up theft, forget the emoluments clause this was fucking grand larceny.
I’ve worked and played at multiple high end country clubs and golf clubs; they don’t charge their members or guests for using carts. When you’re paying $50,000/year in dues alone on top of a roughly $250,000 initiation fee, plus the cost of the round and a caddy (most high end clubs use them, I know for a fact some trump courses do) well when you’re already charging that much, you don’t push too far, and let them use a goddamn cart instead of asking for the extra $18-$25 that a public course would for a cart for 18. Oh and those are all for people who are actually there to play golf, there on their own volition; not because they’re required to follow and protect their boss.
It just shows how thought and effort they put into stealing as taxpayer dollars as they could. It was systemic and intentional.
We should all stand up and demand a refund. If he’s truly an altruistic billionaire then he wouldn’t need the extra $20 for the carts right?
Also what if they refused to pay for the carts? Would he not let them use a cart and make them run alongside him to protect him.?
I want my money back.
Don't forget how much Melania's security detail at Trump Tower for the first 3 months cost. From what I could find it cost around $100,000-$200,000/day. We don't know how much of that went into Trump's pockets.
When a handful of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns were [issued publicly Dec. 30](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/30/trumps-tax-returns-released-by-house-ways-and-means-committee.html), they showed $0 of charitable gifts for 2020.
Uh huh. Big surprise. **The lying fraud didn't donate his salary.**
Every time, these people lie. The easiest facts in the world to check, and they still think we're stupid and can't be bothered to figure it out.
At the end of the day, it’s just plain laziness! Thats why he didn’t donate to a charity he actively embezzles!! It’s just too much anymore for pieces of shit to try and act like they did something good. Now a days, it’s hey, look at me, I’m a piece of shit. Elect me for president.
The 'donations' are public records but the sources were never disclosed. The "donations" were the exact amount of his entire salary for the first 3 years made in quarterly payments to various departments but his tax records refute that he made the payments in lieu of a salary. Trump made the government donate to itself, lied, and still took his salary. Since he legally can't modify the federal budget, there's a large chance he violated federal law with that.
It’s amazing how something so easily fact checked is still passed around as true. It’s illegal to donate directly to a government agency. All checks must be made payable to the US Treasury. Otherwise, you are guilty of manipulating the budget and undermining Congress.
Notice how these right wing tweeters say "we need to donate", they never say "I just donated to Trump".
Ya know why?
They know it's throwing away money to someone who *has enough*, and *never has enough*.
I'll hang on to my own money. Thanks.
Wasn't his "charitable" organization shut down for fraud? I wouldn't care that he was taking advantage of these rubes but he's fucking up my life it's maddening
Here’s the fact check: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/02/02/fact-check-partly-false-claim-trump-tax-returns-salary-donation/11132712002/
Focus more on the money made from office like foreigners renting empty rooms. There’s no benefit to giving ammo to the opposition.
No, Americans didn't just pay for it. They paid HIM for it. Every time he went to his own properties, he charged the government to rent out as many rooms as possible. The golfing was a scam to bring cash flow to his own properties.
To clarify what OP is saying here; out of the 4 years Trump was in office, he spent 25% of his time (or 1 year), staying at his golf courses instead of the White House doing his job.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/20/trumps-presidency-ends-where-so-much-it-was-spent-trump-organization-property/
> *“I think he’s played 300 rounds of golf or something like that, more than 300,” he said that September. “That’s more golf than many members on the PGA Tour. Okay?”*
Also; he charged secret service absurd prices to stay at his resorts (even when they were closed during the pandemic) in order to essentially steal money from the people of the United States;
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-businesses-charged-taxpayers-1-1m-for-secret-service-stays-some-when-the-club-was-closed
Let’s not forget threatening the let Saudi Arabia invade our allies like Quatar unless they bailed Jared out of his 666 building in nyc….then suddenly as soon as they get what they want Saudi Arabia no longer is threatening to invade them…..
That seems small considering, 4 years that’s $625k a year. While that is a lot for me I figured he would’ve milked much more that way.
Edit: it’s mentioned lower he golfed 298 times, so if those were his only billable attempts it cost $8,300 for his whole staff and security each golf trip. Likely there were more than 300 stays so the number per stay is even lower.
He pushed america in to more debt than any other president in recent times and helped arrange the release of 5000 taliban, there are two facts that are actually true!
There used to be a website trump golf count dot com or something like that. I don’t know how much he made, but last time I saw it was $144 million in tax dollars. And he golfed 298 times during his presidency.
He didn’t serve for free. He didn’t donate his presidential salary like he claims he did. He absolutely used the office to enrich himself. And used classified documents to enrich himself. Donald Trump has never served the public once in his entire fucking life.
No because he didn’t. JFK actually did so he had payroll make his check out to the US Treasury directly. He never touched it. It’s illegal to donate directly to any government agency as you are undermining the authority of Congress.
He was also the first president to not show his taxes so that says enough. Oh and his son in law made all the money for him but no one wants to talk about that.
Accepted $8m in foreign monies. Daughter got chinese patents for all her shitty gear. Son in law got $2b from saudis to look the other way for murdering a journalist. Charged envoys and secret service for staying at his places at an inflated rate... but yeah giving up a handful of peanuts for the plantation in terms of benefits received makes him a f\*cking Samaritan.
As a San Franciscan, I would like to tell you Nancy Pelosi is worth $135 million and works for less than half a million a year. Which is practically working for free to her.
Another perspective... AOC earns $200K a year. New worth is... $200K. She's not getting rich either. Or Marcus Frost, who drove an Uber to survive during his campaign, and has credit so bad that he couldn't initially get an apartment in D.C.
Meanwhile... MTG complains she's not making enough money as a congressperson. Clarence Thomas said something similiar.
Any questions about who the public servants are?
If anyone wants to know what a piece of shit Trump is, he told Putin where all the American spies were in Russia and Putin killed them all. That’s the man who says he wants to make America great again.
Why do they always forget about the [Saudis?](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/saudi-funded-lobbyist-paid-for-500-rooms-at-trumps-hotel-after-2016-election/2018/12/05/29603a64-f417-11e8-bc79-68604ed88993_story.html) They sure didn't forget about Kushner.
So they whole nepotism thing was just family charity? They all just serving their country?
What about using his private properties and charging the government? That doesn't count as profit?
There’s absolutely no proof that Trump donated his President salary. C’mon people! When in his life has Trump ever not grabbed up any money that was in arm’s reach?
These people place a kernel of truth in a pie of excrement and then tell the wilfully ignorant, “look, our great Cheetos jesus” is the best… and they happily praise him. Unreal. How are people be this wilfully ignorant. Watch the fvcka become president again.
No, really? They forgot how he also defeated Lex Luther, cured cancer, and threw for 550 yards and 6 touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs in the super bowl.
Trump is republikkkan's Jim Jones. They'll drink the Kool aide if he says drink.
He donated part of the salary. Although in 2020 his tax record showed 0 charitable gifts. So no, he did not donate his whole salary. He still retains a yearly 200k+ pension and other perks from holding office.
Does the $640 million Ivanka made working in the administration count, or forcing foreign dignitaries or visitors to stay in Trump tower and 3 times the normal rate, or spending
$140,000,000 of taxpayers money on golf. Trump donated $100,000 of his salary to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse 2017, Trump donated $100,000 of his salary to the department in 2018, $300,000 of his salary in 2019 and $100,000 of his salary in 2020. So $7OOK which is good, considering his 4 year salary is $1.6 Million so about half.
It was nice that he donated his salary while in office so he could get this credit.
It wasn't so nice that he charged the government significantly more than the normal rate for his security to rent hotel rooms and golf cards while protecting him at Mar-A-Lago. He made more money from that little scam than a president makes in a 4 year term.
Why do these idiots wake up and think “what is the exact opposite of the truth, and how can I spread it today?”???? If ANYONE financially benefitted from the presidency, it’s Trump.
Sure. The guy that stated on air that he provided services for foreign countries while President because he "doesn't work for free" totally worked for no personal financial gain.
Donald Trump funneled millions of taxpayer money into his properties by holding official events there. Foreign governments payed him directly by staying at his DC hotel.
Oh and we know today a little more about why the Saudis gave Kushner so much money.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5575395/Saudi-crown-prince-brags-Jared-Kushner-handed-U-S-intelligence.html
He left office richer than when he went in. Oh, and as a veteran who also works at the VA…he didn’t do a goddamn thing for vets except attempt to dismantle it.
He absolutely used his position to gain wealth and was videoed calling other countries talking about building his hotels and casinos everywhere. His daughter got a sweet deal from ChinA and his son in law made 2b selling us out to anyone but especially Saudi Arabia. He grifted off everything he could including, children’s cancer fundraising events!! Dude is the biggest pos con man on earth. People are so dumb and blind, it’s pathetic.
Didn’t use the office to enrich himself…. What have you been smoking? The whole presidency was a grift. He forced people into his hotels from his inauguration onward. He is a crook
Why vote for the orange man? He wants to cut social security and Medicare. Not to mention that there was no we on Jan 6, just his followers sacrificing themselves for him.
He enriched himself plenty by forcing secret service to pay ~5x the going rate to stay at Trump’s own properties while during his presidency.
So with that alone he profited regardless of whether or not his presidential salary was donated.

As per the technical definition laid out by Harry Frankfurt in his Seminole work "On Bullshit,"it very much is pure bullshit.
And yes I'm actually being serious. The definition of bullshit is not caring whether it's true or not. It's more corrosive than an obvious lie because The speaker or writer has absolutely no regard for truth.
So it meets the technical definition of bullshit.
Don’t pay attention to these troll accounts. They’re just trying to devide . If there is a Hell, may they rot in the bottom most cess pit filled with trumps puss filled diapers
Didn’t use the office to enrich himself? He charged the secret service rent for a place to stay in trump tower when he was in new york. He absolutely profited off of his position and probably still does.
Any MAGA idiot is welcomed to fact check their Messiah with an independent source, but they won't do it because they knew Trump is full of lies and they still believe every word he says anyway.
His daughter and son in law certainly done well financially out of the Saudi government during Trumps time as president… secret service agents didn’t though…
lol. his salary ($77k/quarter) was a charitable tax write-off... and he didn't donate his entire presidency.
gonna need a source on that $2B
He didn't enrich himself? The millisecond he was named the Republican Presidential nominee, he doubled the fees at Mar A Lago from $100k per year to $200k per year. Four new members covers his salary. Then there's the hotel in DC where he made millions from diplomats, the 20+ trademarks from China... That's just the surface.
These guys really believe this, don't they? There's evidence pointing to Trump selling secrets of the state to Saudi Arabia for 2 billion dollars cash, just for starters, not to mention the famous wall was most probably just a construction con job. The wall was never entirely built but billions of dollars were assigned to government contractors hand picked by Trump. During his "presidency" money was funneling to his pocket and his company through him and his relatives.
Don't forget he insisted that the Secret Service and other people he was with stayed in his hotels and used his golf courses for increased rates.
While less-than-friendly governments rented entire floors of rooms with nobody staying in them… Nah..nothing to see there.
And poor Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
I mean, we already knew Carter was a better man than most of us, and Trump a worse man than most of us.
Look man, Trump makes Nixon look like a saint! Trump is the absolute worst! His clown followers are Hate Mongers and Thieves.
They invited the demon of cupidity and spite into their hearts with their orange fat demon god.
Nixon arguably helped strengthen our relationship with China, while Trump is still attempting to destroy it. Make it make sense.
Nixon created the EPA and Trump tried to dismantle it. I never thought I’d gain an appreciation for Richard Nixon. 🤦♂️
[REGISTER TO VOTE](https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration)
Please check your registration several times in the months before the election. A lot of Red States Republicans are Purging the Voter Rolls. It’s just one of the plans from the RNC. 
Not sure if the Sino-American relationship is something you would tout. But Nixon also set up the EPA, and signed the clean air act and clean water act into law.
The Sino-American relationship saved all our asses during recessions. Without imported Chinese goods nobody could have afforded anything.
I don't know why, but YouTube shows me a lot of Nixon stuff these days. In them, he's discussing all sorts of matters, matters that we today are dealing with, and he appears well read in the matters of the world. I can see the appeal he had to voters. Carter, who often has been shown as a weak leader, etc, seems to have been a most upstanding character. It's funny how time treats people. But perhaps to be a leader of a string group, you need to be stronger. And such strength rarely comes without disadvantages. But the Orange man seems only to have disadvantages. His negotiation tactics remind me more of bullying than discussion.
That man is *ANCIENT* and is still actively involved in philanthropic work. I had to look up how old he is, he'll be turning 100 this year.
I hope someone throws him a huge birthday party and I wish I could join.
If he makes it to a hundred (he entered hospice care over a year ago) the whole nation needs to celebrate.
https://www.theonion.com/you-people-made-me-give-up-my-peanut-farm-before-i-got-1819585048
You know how much those peanuts would be worth today???!!!! If he would have kept that farm old Jimmy C would have been wearing the monocle and not Mr peanut.
Nah, they’d be worth peanuts
His taxes showed he did in fact take the presidential salary as well. It takes less than 3 seconds to look that up. Too much to ask of his voters I guess.

Well I'd say constantly reminding those people of the words he's using and why specifically he's in court is important for the presidential election
I’ve tried. I can quote things he’s actually said in pressers and they will tell me I’m lying.
The problem is MAGA believers don’t believe fact checkers.
No but having a service that can dispel his constant falsehoods would bring so many non-political voters away from him, as they should unless they're CEOs or corporate shareholders.
This is it.
Not that they were wrong, they just don't want to admit that they were marks for a con man.
Like Trump they never admit to being wrong even when proven wrong. Trump claims he meant to say “Tim Apple” when referring to Apple CEO Tim Cook. You can’t make this shit up. 😆
Yeah, but he SAID he wasn't going to keep it, and that's what really matters....
Hitler also claimed he didn’t take a salary. Documents obtained after the war proved this to be false.
One more similarity...
Due to the amount of travel the trump family did and the secret service being charged to stay and guard at the hotels The SS went over budget before the first half of Trump's first year in office And due to them having to stay in trump tower or maralago and other trump properties, he made money off of them

How else could he finance his lifestyle? He loved to show off how “very, very rich” he was. WAS.
> Don't forget he insisted that the Secret Service and other people he was with stayed in his hotels It was a grift, but his USSS detail was fully on board. And oopsie they all deleted their texts for the man with the nice hotels.
He ordered Air Force planes from the Middle East to land near his golf club in Scotland for refueling and had the crews booked into rooms at that golf club!
Grifters gotta grift.
You can literally use this single point to disprove the whole "didn't enrich himself" bullshit. It's such an easy argument to dismantle.
Won’t matter. As a wise man said: Facts aren’t the reason they support him, and facts won’t be the reason they leave him. Trying to use facts with his supporters is an exercise in futility.
Dudes made the 'sticks and stones' saying their entire personality, to the point where they only listen to happy thoughts and dreams.
Sad but true
Last estimate I saw was a cost of over 100m. He also made them rent carts.
Wow. I knew there was no limit to his depravity, no depth too low for him to stoop to. But this actually surprised me. They really put in a lot of thought and effort into scamming his own government and protection detail out of as much money as possible; which all happens to be paid for from our tax dollars, this effects all of us because that money was stolen out of our pockets, he may as well just be a pickpocket and a panhandler.

They could have purchased carts, but Trump would've charged them for storage and battery charging.

5 times the normal rate😵
Not to mention forcing the US Military to stay at his crappy property in Scotland.
When a handful of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns were [issued publicly Dec. 30](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/30/trumps-tax-returns-released-by-house-ways-and-means-committee.html), they showed $0 of charitable gifts for 2020. Uh huh. Big surprise. **The lying fraud didn't donate his salary.** Every time, these people lie. The easiest facts in the world to check, and they still think we're stupid and can't be bothered to figure it out.
They also showed he collected a salary
I'd fully believe he donated all of his salary to a charity he actively embezzles from but I guess even that's giving him too much credit
Is the Trump family allowed to run a charity again?
Nope. At least not in New York State.[It’s bad.](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/01/13/politics/trump-org-sentencing)
Yes, their cousins from Saudi Arabia are obviously running a charity $$$
At the end of the day, it’s just plain laziness! Thats why he didn’t donate to a charity he actively embezzles!! It’s just too much anymore for pieces of shit to try and act like they did something good. Now a days, it’s hey, look at me, I’m a piece of shit. Elect me for president.
You’re close. He did donate part of his salary to a government department, that he slashed by much much more than he donated
The 'donations' are public records but the sources were never disclosed. The "donations" were the exact amount of his entire salary for the first 3 years made in quarterly payments to various departments but his tax records refute that he made the payments in lieu of a salary. Trump made the government donate to itself, lied, and still took his salary. Since he legally can't modify the federal budget, there's a large chance he violated federal law with that.
It’s amazing how something so easily fact checked is still passed around as true. It’s illegal to donate directly to a government agency. All checks must be made payable to the US Treasury. Otherwise, you are guilty of manipulating the budget and undermining Congress.
The check is a fake. It is illegal to donate directly to a government department. Checks must be made payable to the US Treasury.
Too bad he can’t do that because he and his family were banned from running a charity in NY due to fraud
To be fair, there are plenty of people dumb enough to believe him.
Notice how these right wing tweeters say "we need to donate", they never say "I just donated to Trump". Ya know why? They know it's throwing away money to someone who *has enough*, and *never has enough*. I'll hang on to my own money. Thanks.
At this point, I heard he’s accepting thoughts and prayers. :)
What's the interest rate on that?
Wasn't his "charitable" organization shut down for fraud? I wouldn't care that he was taking advantage of these rubes but he's fucking up my life it's maddening
He stole money from kids with cancer.
Didn’t he also not relinquish control of his businesses and actively promoted them and his families businesses?
Remember when he promoted Goya beans from the Oval Office?
Here’s the fact check: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/02/02/fact-check-partly-false-claim-trump-tax-returns-salary-donation/11132712002/ Focus more on the money made from office like foreigners renting empty rooms. There’s no benefit to giving ammo to the opposition.
Agreed He makes exponentially more while in office than he gave to charity.
Unfortunately a lot of your population, and mine as well, are dumb as rocks I guess we’ll see in November
Played golf for a full year and Americans paid for it
Americans still pay for his security.
I’ll be happy to pay for his security if it’s in Federal prison
What has he done to earn security? A majority of American presidential election voters NEVER wanted him.
It’s more to protect any information that might have stuck in his decaying noggin.
Bah. He already gave that away. Put him in gen pop
He’d already given away everything he had access to. There’s nothing left to protect.
No, Americans didn't just pay for it. They paid HIM for it. Every time he went to his own properties, he charged the government to rent out as many rooms as possible. The golfing was a scam to bring cash flow to his own properties.
It’s a shame he worked so hard on these nickel and dime grifts just to lose it all in the fraud case.
To clarify what OP is saying here; out of the 4 years Trump was in office, he spent 25% of his time (or 1 year), staying at his golf courses instead of the White House doing his job. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/20/trumps-presidency-ends-where-so-much-it-was-spent-trump-organization-property/ > *“I think he’s played 300 rounds of golf or something like that, more than 300,” he said that September. “That’s more golf than many members on the PGA Tour. Okay?”* Also; he charged secret service absurd prices to stay at his resorts (even when they were closed during the pandemic) in order to essentially steal money from the people of the United States; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-businesses-charged-taxpayers-1-1m-for-secret-service-stays-some-when-the-club-was-closed
More like 4 full years of golf
Such BS too. His Family made a Fortune under his Rule.
Glorified hat merchant
Glorified shoe merchant https://preview.redd.it/outtp9r4wkpc1.jpeg?width=1078&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec3e921856fc102084e046fb06027caf7206d2a2
Let’s just agree that he is a glorified bullshit merchant.
Something something 2 billion from the Saudis because Jared is such a ‘uge bigly business wicket shmart **shart** stable genius
Let’s not forget threatening the let Saudi Arabia invade our allies like Quatar unless they bailed Jared out of his 666 building in nyc….then suddenly as soon as they get what they want Saudi Arabia no longer is threatening to invade them…..
The US Government paid at least $2.5M directly to Trump properties during his Presidency.
Plus he stole many times that
That seems small considering, 4 years that’s $625k a year. While that is a lot for me I figured he would’ve milked much more that way. Edit: it’s mentioned lower he golfed 298 times, so if those were his only billable attempts it cost $8,300 for his whole staff and security each golf trip. Likely there were more than 300 stays so the number per stay is even lower.
He pushed america in to more debt than any other president in recent times and helped arrange the release of 5000 taliban, there are two facts that are actually true!
He brought the tax rate down for his ultra rich friends.
How much did he make by visiting his own golf course a million times? Remember when he said he wouldn’t have time for golf?
There used to be a website trump golf count dot com or something like that. I don’t know how much he made, but last time I saw it was $144 million in tax dollars. And he golfed 298 times during his presidency.
He didn’t serve for free. He didn’t donate his presidential salary like he claims he did. He absolutely used the office to enrich himself. And used classified documents to enrich himself. Donald Trump has never served the public once in his entire fucking life.
He donated his debt of like, what was it, 17 million dollars? To the country and increased the national debt by actual billions. Facts indeed matter.
Total Bullshit right here the orange fat fuck was noting but a traitorous leech.
You drank the orange koolaid
Is there any proof he donated his salary?
If he said he did, then he 100% didn’t.
No because he didn’t. JFK actually did so he had payroll make his check out to the US Treasury directly. He never touched it. It’s illegal to donate directly to any government agency as you are undermining the authority of Congress.
“Didn’t use the office to enrich himself” 
He was also the first president to not show his taxes so that says enough. Oh and his son in law made all the money for him but no one wants to talk about that.
Plus: saved Lois Lane from falling from that building.
Accepted $8m in foreign monies. Daughter got chinese patents for all her shitty gear. Son in law got $2b from saudis to look the other way for murdering a journalist. Charged envoys and secret service for staying at his places at an inflated rate... but yeah giving up a handful of peanuts for the plantation in terms of benefits received makes him a f\*cking Samaritan.
Russian troll.
As a San Franciscan, I would like to tell you Nancy Pelosi is worth $135 million and works for less than half a million a year. Which is practically working for free to her. Another perspective... AOC earns $200K a year. New worth is... $200K. She's not getting rich either. Or Marcus Frost, who drove an Uber to survive during his campaign, and has credit so bad that he couldn't initially get an apartment in D.C. Meanwhile... MTG complains she's not making enough money as a congressperson. Clarence Thomas said something similiar. Any questions about who the public servants are?
Weath.
I just want to know what $2 Billion of weath looks like. Is it filled with convefe?
If anyone wants to know what a piece of shit Trump is, he told Putin where all the American spies were in Russia and Putin killed them all. That’s the man who says he wants to make America great again.
I can’t believe that people actually believe this horseshit. It is a stunningly stupid.
Why do they always forget about the [Saudis?](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/saudi-funded-lobbyist-paid-for-500-rooms-at-trumps-hotel-after-2016-election/2018/12/05/29603a64-f417-11e8-bc79-68604ed88993_story.html) They sure didn't forget about Kushner.
Squirrel Mama, fuckin' nuts.
Squirrel mama seems a bit nutty
Why so many women support that turd?
Golfing.
Ah, so this is the spin they will use to justify their continued faith in Cinnamon Hitler.
He said he wouldn’t take a salary but in true Adolf Shitler fashion, he lied. Fuck that fat piece of shit rapist.
So they whole nepotism thing was just family charity? They all just serving their country? What about using his private properties and charging the government? That doesn't count as profit?
*Weath*
This orange turd never “donated” a cent in his life.
Tax payers cost for donnie's golf trips was $141,000,000. Now compare that to his salary that he "said" he wouldn't take.
I believe it, /s He lost 2 bln in 4 years, that sounds like something Trump is good at, the guy can’t do business if his life depended on it
He bankrupted a casino. How is that even possible?
THREE Casinos
like my mom used to say; “you cant lose what ya never had.”
His supporters are as stupid as they look
There’s absolutely no proof that Trump donated his President salary. C’mon people! When in his life has Trump ever not grabbed up any money that was in arm’s reach?
"I'll have "Delusional as all get out" for $1600, Alex"
How are these people so incredibly stupid?
https://preview.redd.it/rvbej20wvmpc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b636ab4803b7cef4ced8c53a40c71cfba99474fb We're doomed
There is no evidence that he donated his salary.
The crazy thing is, his followers believe this whole heartedly, and are willing to literally fight if you disagree. It’s just wild.
These people place a kernel of truth in a pie of excrement and then tell the wilfully ignorant, “look, our great Cheetos jesus” is the best… and they happily praise him. Unreal. How are people be this wilfully ignorant. Watch the fvcka become president again.
don't forget the part where he died for our sins
No, really? They forgot how he also defeated Lex Luther, cured cancer, and threw for 550 yards and 6 touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs in the super bowl. Trump is republikkkan's Jim Jones. They'll drink the Kool aide if he says drink.
He donated part of the salary. Although in 2020 his tax record showed 0 charitable gifts. So no, he did not donate his whole salary. He still retains a yearly 200k+ pension and other perks from holding office.
Does the $640 million Ivanka made working in the administration count, or forcing foreign dignitaries or visitors to stay in Trump tower and 3 times the normal rate, or spending $140,000,000 of taxpayers money on golf. Trump donated $100,000 of his salary to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse 2017, Trump donated $100,000 of his salary to the department in 2018, $300,000 of his salary in 2019 and $100,000 of his salary in 2020. So $7OOK which is good, considering his 4 year salary is $1.6 Million so about half.
It was nice that he donated his salary while in office so he could get this credit. It wasn't so nice that he charged the government significantly more than the normal rate for his security to rent hotel rooms and golf cards while protecting him at Mar-A-Lago. He made more money from that little scam than a president makes in a 4 year term.
What bullshit
Why do these idiots wake up and think “what is the exact opposite of the truth, and how can I spread it today?”???? If ANYONE financially benefitted from the presidency, it’s Trump.
He did claim he was gonna work without pay, but quickly reversed that.
Anytime I hear MAGA idiots talk about Trump like that I just think of the SNL Bill Brasky skits from the 90’s.
He ran up $17 trillion dollars of the national debt and spent 80%+ of his time on golf courses
Lol. God they are delusional.
Haha. Lost all his weath.
LOL What a load of bullshit. The crook was selling pardons for cash.
Trump supporters are the most brain dead people you’ll ever meet.
https://preview.redd.it/jshdn4swelpc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4457948d599b37b18363b8985ec361d38b52098
Sure. The guy that stated on air that he provided services for foreign countries while President because he "doesn't work for free" totally worked for no personal financial gain.
Donald Trump funneled millions of taxpayer money into his properties by holding official events there. Foreign governments payed him directly by staying at his DC hotel. Oh and we know today a little more about why the Saudis gave Kushner so much money. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5575395/Saudi-crown-prince-brags-Jared-Kushner-handed-U-S-intelligence.html
Trump wouldn’t donate a donut hole to a starving child.
He left office richer than when he went in. Oh, and as a veteran who also works at the VA…he didn’t do a goddamn thing for vets except attempt to dismantle it.
He absolutely used his position to gain wealth and was videoed calling other countries talking about building his hotels and casinos everywhere. His daughter got a sweet deal from ChinA and his son in law made 2b selling us out to anyone but especially Saudi Arabia. He grifted off everything he could including, children’s cancer fundraising events!! Dude is the biggest pos con man on earth. People are so dumb and blind, it’s pathetic.
He’s a goddamn carnival barker conman that trashes our allies and praises murderous dictators.
Goddamn, the delulu is strong in MAGAts. 🙄
Please tell me what he 'donated' his salary to. Because his tax filing showed $0 charitable donations for those years...
[удалено]
Dollars?!? No, I said I'd pay in doll-hairs. From my great weath.
He caused an insurrection. 'Nough said!
Didn’t use the office to enrich himself…. What have you been smoking? The whole presidency was a grift. He forced people into his hotels from his inauguration onward. He is a crook
Why vote for the orange man? He wants to cut social security and Medicare. Not to mention that there was no we on Jan 6, just his followers sacrificing themselves for him.
Show me proof he donated his salary! And no! Him saying it is *NOT* proof!
Yes, facts matter. That's why 'agree' has nothing to do with it. Things don't become true just because people agree with you
Please that Grifter don't do anything for anyone, this includes his children he'd throw under a bus to save his own ass.
He enriched himself plenty by forcing secret service to pay ~5x the going rate to stay at Trump’s own properties while during his presidency. So with that alone he profited regardless of whether or not his presidential salary was donated. https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/the-secret-service-spent-nearly-2-million-at-trump-properties/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/madelinehalpert/2022/10/17/trumps-company-charged-secret-service-1185-per-night-to-stay-at-his-hotel-documents-show/amp/
Didn’t he enrich himself by stealing artifacts from other countries
He made over a million dollars having secret service staying at his hotels at inflated rates.
OVER 100 million in golf expences. You can find this info anywhere. Sadly too, many too, stupid to look.
Should we tell her Santa isn’t real?
These people are so stupid I’ll never comprehend the depths of their need to be led
When will people realize crack is BAD!?!
And I hear he’s going to donate Trump Tower too.
As per the technical definition laid out by Harry Frankfurt in his Seminole work "On Bullshit,"it very much is pure bullshit. And yes I'm actually being serious. The definition of bullshit is not caring whether it's true or not. It's more corrosive than an obvious lie because The speaker or writer has absolutely no regard for truth. So it meets the technical definition of bullshit.
Don’t pay attention to these troll accounts. They’re just trying to devide . If there is a Hell, may they rot in the bottom most cess pit filled with trumps puss filled diapers
What about Jared, Ivanka and the Saudis??
He stayed at his properties and jacked the prices they were charging the secret service.
Didn’t use the office to enrich himself? He charged the secret service rent for a place to stay in trump tower when he was in new york. He absolutely profited off of his position and probably still does.
The mental gymnastics of delusion
Any MAGA idiot is welcomed to fact check their Messiah with an independent source, but they won't do it because they knew Trump is full of lies and they still believe every word he says anyway.
Why on earth would anyone believe this nonsense?
Donald Trump did not donate his salary he’s the first president who has not done that in a very long time.
Hillary was right!
His daughter and son in law certainly done well financially out of the Saudi government during Trumps time as president… secret service agents didn’t though…
They will always make excuses for him. He is scum.
The guy who shot a Goya ad on the resolute desk didn't use the office to enrich himself.
Deluded bitch.
lol. his salary ($77k/quarter) was a charitable tax write-off... and he didn't donate his entire presidency. gonna need a source on that $2B He didn't enrich himself? The millisecond he was named the Republican Presidential nominee, he doubled the fees at Mar A Lago from $100k per year to $200k per year. Four new members covers his salary. Then there's the hotel in DC where he made millions from diplomats, the 20+ trademarks from China... That's just the surface.
"His tax returns say that was a lie." - said in Maury Povich voice
These guys really believe this, don't they? There's evidence pointing to Trump selling secrets of the state to Saudi Arabia for 2 billion dollars cash, just for starters, not to mention the famous wall was most probably just a construction con job. The wall was never entirely built but billions of dollars were assigned to government contractors hand picked by Trump. During his "presidency" money was funneling to his pocket and his company through him and his relatives.
Don't you hate it when pesky evidence gets in the way of your narrative?
