Yeah, one Arby's combo meal, thanks
I wonder how much money this clown has made since being President?
If you want to be rich in America, be like Trump. He learned that you can make a LOT more money as a politician than a businessman, even while working half as much (at most, I'd be shocked if he worked more than a couple hours a day).
He has always been a little slow, took him long enough to figure things out.
Latest figure is over two billion last year. That’s 2.2 billion in one year.
Sounds like he’s going to have a huge tax bill.
Ha ha, yeah, right, wink wink...
According to a recent article he's made more stock trades than all of Congress combined while acting at president the past year and a half. Over 600 trades in July alone.
Imagine a Democrat president that made any trades.
Shit I still remember when Obama was excoriated for "picking winners and losers" after they put money into a company that built ~~wind turbines~~ solar panels (which eventually went under).
Edit: had to Google the name, which immediately gave me a physiological reaction when I saw it again for the first time in years: Solyndra.
I guess they made solar panels, not wind turbines.
And that was the US government, not Obama as an individual. He had to be above reproach, because the whites in this country were angry and rabid.
What we are experiencing is a direct result of those people who's minds were permanently broken by having to live 8 years with a black president.
