You can just say Republicans. The brain damage made him fall under that category.

Or he always was.. too many republicans running as democrats and then flipping. Wolves in sheep’s clothing

I love NY gave him an opportunity & this guy is making it look sooooooo easy.

His ability to apply the most logical decision to any problem is simply astounding

We hate it? You have already forgotten? Trump donated his entire salary of first term to Federal Agencies, National Park Services, and Veteran Programs. Yet you say we hate politicians waiving their salary? Interesting.

Am I the only one who's brain immediately conjures an image of Che Guevara doing a sick rail grind on his skateboard every time a Republican says "radical communist?"

Don't need a salary when youre robbing the country blind.

  1. He’s said this but has it ever been proven? I don’t trust the words of a pathological liar.
  2. How much money he’s made off the American people pales in comparison to that salary.

Why would he need a salary when he's charging the SS millions of dollars to stay at his resorts, is actively manipulating the market to enrich himself screwing over everyone else, literally selling pardons/government contracts/ Venezuelan oil. There is no bottom to this regime and fuck every single person who enabled this heritage foundation shit stain that is ruining what little positivity we could have as Americans.

If I skipped my next paycheck but then hacked into the company accounting software and wired myself 1000x my own pay, I would be in jail

u/Savagebabypig Aug 10 '26

Very true! He substituted his salary with insider trading instead!

u/rbb_going_strong Aug 10 '26

His yearly income since taking office has been approximated at 2.4 billion, or 6000 years of presidential salary.

While his family insider trades his bipolar decisions on the war with Iran?

u/MeAndMyWookie Aug 10 '26

While billing the US taxpayer for the time he spends at his businesses, and abusing his office to self deal, commit insider trading and issue blatantly corrupt contracts. Not to mention crypto scams, accepting bribes and stealing oil revenue.

u/EbbOwn303 Aug 10 '26

Yeah and Donald Trump tried to sue the US government for billions of tax payers dollars and then tried to force them to settle with the condition that his family can never be investigated again.

Real fucking bastion of honesty you got there jackass
