Since Trump entered office, as an incredibly wealthy man, his net worth has dropped about by $600m.
The Clintons and Obamas both entered office as middle class citizen, and have made nearly $300M in combined income while allegedly serving the public.
I would like to hear more about Trump's greed...

Seriously, anyone that still hates the dude at this point will never allow themselves to come around to him, ever. He could rescue someone's mother from a burning building and their shitty opinion of him still won't change. One of the best presidents this country has seen, and he hasn't even been in a full year yet.

Re: Follow the Money
Since entering office Trumpnand his cronies have spent millions on his hotels and resorts and have used his new hotel as a carrot for diplomats etc. his net worth is an absurd figure the majority of which is based on intangible assets which he capitalized to generate his high figure. It therefore is tied to the value of his personal brand which couldn’t nosedive faster given his massive drop in popularity and record low approvals. The likely massive drop in intangible assets has been offset by his gains from abusing the golf courses and trump assets, and by creating a tax giveaway to himself in extra tax breaks for golf course owners and real estate developers as well as the new pass through laws.Foo wrote:Since Trump entered office, as an incredibly wealthy man, his net worth has dropped about by $600m.

Years from now, you’ll have to reconcile your distaste for politicians with the large scale corruption and misuse of tax dollars by this administration and its limitless conflicts of interest. Because there are visibly loads and loads of instances of Trump and Kushner businesses leveraging thiscoresidemcy for personal gains and hopefully it all comes to light.

and his critics will say that those who still support him at this point will never allow themselves to see him for what he is. who's right? i guess we'll all have to wait and see.Jason wrote:Seriously, anyone that still hates the dude at this point will never allow themselves to come around to him, ever.

Why wait when the overwhelming evidence points to a profiteering corription like never before and the US is plowing headfirst into a bubble that will cripple it.zombie wrote:and his critics will say that those who still support him at this point will never allow themselves to see him for what he is. who's right? i guess we'll all have to wait and see.Jason wrote:Seriously, anyone that still hates the dude at this point will never allow themselves to come around to him, ever.

Re: Follow the Money
His net worth has dropped by 20% in a year. This is by third party estimates. Your wishful thinking that there is corruption leading to profits is not met with facts.showa58taro wrote:Since entering office Trumpnand his cronies have spent millions on his hotels and resorts and have used his new hotel as a carrot for diplomats etc. his net worth is an absurd figure the majority of which is based on intangible assets which he capitalized to generate his high figure.

Trump is unique in that his whole lifestyle was downgraded by the presidency. It is really a public service because he is sacrificing his lifestyle to do it. Contrast that with Obama, who was broke until being inoffice made him a multi-millionaire. Trump flew his private plane all the time, he stayed at his properties all the time. Taking Air Force one on trips is no joy ride for him. Of course he wants to sleep places where he is comfortable and familiar.
Re: Follow the Money
When I was starting out, I had a piece of shit car. If I needed to rent a car, it was awesome because even though the car was just ordinary, it was so much better than what I had. I would drive the rental car as much as I could when I had it. Hotels were awesome, because it was new and had amenities you did not have at home. That was my Obama moment.
As I got older and started buying cadillacs and similar, using a rental car became a chore. You spend the time uncomfortable and inconvenienced, just wishing you had your normal car back. Hotels lose their luster because you have more of those amenities in your daily life. If you want things like whirlpool tubs and such, you can buy them.
