Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHe is the president of the United States and nobody knows where he is making his money.
He says he has lost from $3 - 5 billion dollars by being the President?
Those that have studied him over the years have never estimated his wealth to be that much?
Is he making money off the Presidency?
This is obscene.
He says his people looked around and they concluded that his golf club in Miami would be the best place for the next G-7 meeting. He says he would make no money off the event. But everybody knows that is a lie. Once more, he is pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people. Shame on them!
Shame on the Congress! For letting him get away with this thievery. He is robbing this country blind and nobody knows anything about how he is doing it?
It's a disgrace!

Yes, it is a disgrace that Congress continues to play along with the notion that he is legitimate in any way.

That would be so weird... the President of the United States going on camera and lying. Surely not.

(67,088 posts)presidency. Too ban so many in America are still so F'en dumb as to not grasp what is going on. The country is full of suckers. Hopefully, 2020 will show otherwise and he gets booted out on his ass along with his sycophant staff and his dreadful family.

(33,252 posts)He probably got that 3 - 5 billion number from some toady at a marketing company in terms of "potential" value. Or it was 1 billion and he inflated it because he's a con artist pathological liar.
The entire company could go tits-up before he dies. It certainly will shortly thereafter, when his spawn dump the assets as quickly as possible.
The Trump name will come off those buildings so fast it will make your head spin.

(36,674 posts)"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trump started his time in office by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.
He swore to uphold the Constitution and immediately broke that oath.

(4,341 posts)I believe it is going to be difficult to prove anything because these will not reflect the reality of the transactions. It is not mystery why it is taking so long for the country to obtain the tax returns, they will be available when they are done massaging the information.

(4,341 posts)I have seen this picture before in other countries, people never talk about what is going behind the scenes because "it is happening behind the scenes", but it is very ugly.
All the deals that are being cooked in the background will make us all cringe. I just hope that they get caught before they go to hell, and they spend sometime paying their dues in orange suits.

Still though, they can see each transaction on each date and who bought and who sold and if they see patterns there, the SEC would typically investigate. Though the SEC is now run by Trump, but you know, under normal circumstances...
