Donald Trump's Gullible Supporters

It is crazy that there are people who think Donald Trump lost money while President of the United States. A few days ago I saw a tweet that listed most of the recent President's, their net worth coming into office, and their net worth leaving office. All of the former President listed, except Donald Trump, were said to have left office wealthier than when they came into office. Donald Trump was said to have lost about a billion dollars while President.

I assume the beliefs of these people are based on where they get their news, but it is crazy that Donald Trump's supporters are so gullible. It is obvious that Trump actually made money while in the White House. He raised the price of admission to his Florida country club and he made the Secret Service pay rental fees at all of the golf courses he owned and stayed at during his time in office. He also made money off of his Washington, D.C. hotel because many Republican and international groups booked hotel rooms and held their conferences at Trump's hotel. It is very likely that many of the people who booked hotel rooms and events at Trump's hotel would not have done so if he had not been President.

...and yeah, he monetized the office for himself and his family of pigs, to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars.

How is that not obvious to anyone with even half a brain?

Of course, that would exclude the MAGATs.

6. It would be interesting to see the sales prospectus and anticipated cash flow for his DC hotel.

Seems to me this is proof that he is not a successful businessman.
Hell, he isn't a successful human.
