even if he loses the 2020 election he still will come out a winner the amount of money he will make from his library, his version of history and so on. He will step back in his businesses and make more money
Gee, I thought at first that bag contained all the lies he told at his re-election rally in Orlando the other day, but then I realized it couldn’t be because it sure wasn’t big enough!
Again I recall and repeat my Uncle Ezra’s comment on politics, or rather on politicians (expressed in his Hoosier patois): “Now ‘em-air pol-teeshns is only a-goin’ up-air t’ Warsht’n t’ git t’er britchiz filt-up! Ef’n they wudn’t crookid when they wint in, by Gawd, thayze crookid when they git out!” The money bag above symbolizes his notion of the “britchiz” cargo when “filt-up”.
KAG on the hat for ‘Keep America Great’? I’m afraid you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole, Ms. Benson. The hat should read CACCA for what Donny’s doing to the nation.
The official presidential library is built with private funds by the nonprofit created during FDR’s time in office for the sole purpose of raising funds and managing the construction and transition. Once built the library is administered by the National Archives, and all fees or donations go solely for the upkeep and management of the facility. The president for who the library is built gets nothing.
On the other hand, all recent presidents have written some type of autobiography and other books, articles, and are usually in demand for healthy speaking fees. Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford made millions on the speaker circuit.
And, yes, he has his business interests should he decide not to just retire. Your point?
Keep in mind that he’s been raising money since the first day he was elected for this, and the Democrats are splitting their money 24 ways right now. We’ll see that money pile difference change dramatically as we get closer to the election. (Also, how much of that money is going directly into the pockets of Trump and his family?)
I will admit that I have begun to despise those who can’t think for themselves. But that’s exactly what this president wants; us being divided. The zombie trump supporters are the downfall of this country. The rest of the world watches us, lumps us all together, and we are the laughing stalk of the planet. The reputation of this country has forever been tarnished.
This is the payback for the 2017 tax cut which saved businesses $91 billion while greatly expanding the deficit. The companies used the money to buy back stock, initiate mergers and automate which DECREASES jobs. Then companies rewarded execs with bonuses because they met their contracted “goals” that DON’T improve the companies’ health in the long term, but now there’s money to be paid back for the tax cut so they can prevent Dems from implementing a more fair tax system.
Astounded that an apparently real person (at least there’s a history of comments) such as Noah Boddie is actually proud to have helped enrich the Orange Maroon’s filthy bag o’ lucre. Can he say “emoluments”? But according to him, the liberals are worse, because TANSTAAFL (failing to understand that liberals would prefer to spend the money on stuff that’s actually good for the nation instead of on further enriching the obscenely wealthy and the military).
Not astounded that Lisa has drawn a cartoon praising the idea that money is the most important part of politics and that her guy has so damn much of it.

Yes, the Rump is walking away with billions of American dollars. Does Lisa think China is paying for the tariffs?

Because money is all that counts in government; it is how you get there, it is why you stay there.

This cartoon says it all. Lisa thinks it is fine that huge campaign contributions decide who gets elected.

Lisa, bless your heart, how is this a good thing?
A wealthy presidential candidate, backed by other wealthy candidates? Is this what we really want?
Only if you are a wealthy American yourself. I’m not. Neither are you.

Got it. Evil has lots of money. I figured that out from people I know who call themselves Christians who clearly love money more than the son of God.
