Publicly verified. Check the news. Not PMSNBC but news. The President is a fink. |

If he hadn't donated it, they would be screaming that he's a selfish greedy billionaire. He can't win either way with the haters. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

His salary is what he makes in half a day on his fortune. Lets say he is worth 4 billion. And let's say he is doing poorly in these times, only making 5%. During his presidency real estate, bonds, and stocks have all far exceeded that. Soooooo...... conservatively he made 200 million. Figure 250 days per year for business. So 800,000 a DAY! So half a days 'work' pays his entire salary (It's around $400k a year, right?) So by not taking a salary he will not even notice it! It is the cheapest way to buy good publicity there is! If he donated $1,000,000 to a real worthy charity, it wouldn't be news. But giving up $100k a quarter is headline news! I've seen athletes give up a 'paycheck' for a charity. Usually it is an extremely small percent of their total compensation. But the point is he is donating $400k to the gubmint, and apparently none of the previous Presidents have done so. |

Cost to the US taxpayer is 550,000 and counting. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-golf-cart-rentals-now-173648592.html "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Since it's almost Thanksgiving I was going to be thankful for whatever things I could think of Trump did or tried to do. Unfortunately I forgot the second thing already. But I did think it was great he tried to get legislation to force drug companies advertising to have to list a cost for any drug they make. So when they had a drug with a ridiculous price, like $500 a week or some such it might actually embarrass them. Unfortunately it didn't pass. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

PACT Act. Skimmed through it and it seemed wholly good and without overreach (sport / farming). Reckon we could get full forum support on that one. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18212 | Civil rights activists clash over 2020 African American voters supporting Trump They are running scared as Trump has gotten money in the pockets of Blacks and they are saying, "wouldn't you rather be broke than have Trump in office?" How great it would be if Trump pulls even 20% of Blacks. Democrats have to thread their race needle perfect to win, and they count on minorities to block vote for them. No wonder they are afraid of Blacks thinking for themselves. The President is a fink. |
