    you said no rich person would do that as they don't need the money, so I asked woudl a rich person do those things.... as they do not need the money

    what do you think of a rich person that would steal from a children's cancer charity?

    Again, not even remotely a response to what I said.

    1. I did not say they didn't need the money. They're always trying to make money. Reread.
    2. I specifically said go into politics for money. I made no mention of any other method such as stealing from a charity. Reread again if you want.

    Trump kept his promises and said what he meant.

    He led, as opposed to the democrat version which is leading from behind.

    The economy was great, we had energy independence, and we had peace deals.

    He even fought wars to end them.

    But there is this thing called the swamp, and the establishment did everything they could to stop Trump.

    Its funny that after years of lies and smears and show trials of Trump that went no where, you refer to Trump as divisive.

    Best. President. Ever.

    you said "No billionaire enters politics to make money. They've all done far better outside politics. It's a lie that trump entered politics for money. He didn't."

    I said billionaires steal from kids cancer charities too, maybe it's not the money they need, maybe they are just bad people that like to take the money if they can

    Don’t worry, I refer to everyone in DC as divisive, because that is how politicians keep power in a 2 party system. The division has been ratcheting up in the last couple decades.

    trump didn’t drain the swamp. He made is own separate swamp that was deeper than the first.

    I would say our last truly great president was Eisenhower. He tried to warn us of the monstrous special interests that were poised to take over politics (the MIC). It’s been rather mediocre since then, and the last 2 have been atrocious.

    Not that important. That said, he is about to be disposed in court where his silver tounge won't be much use. Whatever his fortune is today, it will be far less after court.

    Trump didn't make a separate swamp deeper than the last, thats laughable.

    Because you refuse an outsider like Trump you are doomed to a lifetime of leaders like Bush and Biden.

    Looks like he is still number one in the minds of many. He appreciates those paying attention to his assets. It can be said that people have their heads up his assets.

    Balancing out his rental losses, he still gets to live rent free in the heads of many. He even has people keeping his name relevant and working for him free of charge. This is yuge and he thanks you bigly.

    But seriously, I am glad to see a politician leave office with less. That is rare!

    And how does that have anything to do with them entering politics?

    Call me crazy but I'm under the impression that 'entering politics' and 'stealing from charities' are not the same thing.

    So they should be easy to post again or at least say what post they were in.

    Either way, it's been written about by many publications that the only portion of his salary that's in question was the last 6 months.

    He didn't make a point to announce where he donated it or if he donated it so people are assuming he didn't.

    Sure

    Not only did he not brag about it — even his most ardent supporters can admit he is a raging narcissist so him not reporting it is near zero — sources were unable to find a single federal source that received the funds.

    He would have been applauded for donating his salary has he not diverted taxpayer funds towards his businesses worth dozens of times more.

    Fair enough, but you could say that about any sort of stealing as it's almost always coming from tax payers. I'm just pointing out that people with that kind of wealth don't go into politics for money as they do much better outside of politics.

    I voted for Trump in 2016. I gave him a chance. I supported him on here for a couple years, but he just got worse and worse, until I couldn’t in good conscience support him any longer.

    I will agree that Biden is even worse than Trump, but we definitely do not need Trump back in office.

    He took a downgrade last four years, most likely will hurt his bottom line for the remainder of his life...

    I bet he beats out everyone on this site monetarily ;)

    Yeah, cause that Chinese patent his daughter was after for years, suddenly being granted just days after his visit? Yeah, nothing to see here…..

    Personally, I think trump has done a LOT of shady business deals, and NO, I have no proof, just my gut feeling. But what I was eluding to in my previous post was that Trump doesn’t want people to see his real finances because I dont think he has 1/4 of the wealth he wants people to think he has. I think his “fortune” is build on smoke and mirrors.

    This thread is about trump falling off the Forbes list of the richest.
    The one claiming his entire presidency was to enrich himself is not considered a lefty.
    And trump wealth went down. So he failed at using the office to enrich himself.
