Almost as repulsive as Trump’s unprecedented use of the presidency to enrich himself, he raked in at least two point two billion dollars since taking over in January of twenty twenty five, and he’s cut other deals with foreign governments and other nefarious sources to ⁓ keep the money spigot flowing in the future.
But almost as repulsive is the lies he spins to justify his corruption. He says everyone is getting richer because of the great economy he’s created. Actually, the last 17 months of the Biden presidency generated a stronger economy and more jobs, and inflation was the same. He says, well, everybody’s cashing in now. I’m just cashing in because I’ve got a lot of lot more money than most. Well, try telling that to the welder in Chillicothe, Ohio, whose real wages have barely stayed ab above water the last 17 months. Or to the nurse in Augusta, Georgia, who hasn’t seen a ring increase in real wages at all during this Trump presidency.
As for the claim, this is normal for presidents. All presidents come to the White House to enrich themselves. Jefferson died in debt. Ulysses S. Grant had to write his memos his ⁓ his memoirs while suffering from a painful throat cancer to make sure his family would be okay.
And they say, well, how about Obama? Look, he’s gotten rich. Well, Obama’s major growth in his worth during his presidency, but profits from an earlier autobiography, which he wrote himself. That’s not an option that that Trump has. Trump and his family view the presidency primarily as a rip off vehicle thanks to clueless taxpayers.
I tell you, people are wising up to this corruption and he’s gonna get in real trouble.
