First President since Kennedy not to take a salary IIRC. Maybe you guys should stop being so mean to him and recognize he gave up a lot to Make America Great Again.

Also, anyone know if he and his family are actually 'enriching' themselves off the office, or is that fake news?

yes

when he was president elect he made a bunch of deals with people that would be illegal if he was president at the time but its cool because he claims jared kushner and co are going to run that poo poo for him the moment it becomes illegal and that he would do a big conference explaining why hes not breaking the law. the conference was indefinitely postponed and the news stories were buried by all the other poo poo that happened.

the president is yelling at nordstrom on twitter so theyll undo their decision to get rid of ivanka trumps clothing line after they noticed in january its sales had decreased by 26% for some reason. so hes only using the office to avoid un-enrichment for someone who is not him. unfortunately kellyanne conway broke the law when she went on network tv and literally said hi im doing a commercial for ivanka im gonna buy her clothing go buy it, twice.

It's funny Trump's trying to enrich himself like a penny-ante con-man but no one wants his poo poo anyway. Every building with his name is desperately trying to rebrand if they're allowed, and his apartments are bleeding residents.

Trump Tower is going to a ghost town as leases end and no one's renewing.

yes, Trump will make America great again, bring high paying jobs back to the rust belt, bring law and order to our burning inner cities, has divested himself of all financial interests, plans to protect the lgbtq community, while protecting us from terror attacks through the force of his solid military leadership as commander in chief, all while protecting Medicaid, Medicare, and the best parts of the Affordable Care Act

Mexico will pay for the wall, the Muslim ban is actually a travel ban that protects us from terrorists and only potential terrorists have been harmed or deported during it's institution, all of Trump's cabinet picks are the best of the best and thoroughly represent the interests of the little guy

yes, it's true OP, Trump is the best president we have seen since John F. Kennedy

I mean, he's costing us millions of dollars in added protection costs because he and his family refuse to move into the White House, but hey, at least he isn't taking a four hundred thousand dollar salary.

Incidentally, apparently the last two weeks of vacationing at Mar-a-lago have been trashing palm beach businesses. If it looks like this is going to be a regular thing, I wonder if they'll ask him to stop coming.

his first loving move was to double membership fees at his club to a cool 200 thousand american dollars

then he started asking his club buddies for advice on cabinet appointments

i'd say charging people for access to control of the us gov isn't "fake news"

Nah, whoever's got that stake is trying to use an alternative energy = racism tact. Can't see Trump trying to convince people to oppose things by saying they're racist.
