Android17:How? I will tell you. To first understand anything at all, you must answer the question, why would anyone at all deliberately publicly announce an increase in their net worth by a factor of over 100% (Trump $9bn, Forbes $4bn)? The answer lies in that person's attitude to money. Simple. Most times, such a person seeks aggrandisement of some nature. To deny this is to continue with dishonestly in this debate. In January 2021, The Supreme Court struck two cases (Trump v. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington........ and Trump v. District of Columbia) - from the US Courts of Appeal 2nd and 4th Circuits respectively, on the grounds that cases were moot, seeing as DJT was no longer President. SCOTUS did not engage the actual technicalities of the cases themselves. The actual contents of the case are related to how Donald broke the emolument provisions of the constitution. Trump as P45, charged the Secret Service, many times, over 400% room rate at the Trump properties. This is no conspiracy. Receipts of these purchases were made available at the request over a FOI act, as well as his accountants, Mazars, releasing documents under a subpoena. In many instances, Trump was charging the government for his own stay at his own properties, and listen to this, ....... even for days when he was not at the properties. But you are asking me .....How would a rational person say Trump used that position to enrich himself? The actual question should be, how can a rational person not? As a matter of fact, the extent of the grift was and probably will never be wholly known because, 1. Republicans regained control of the House and discontinued all subpoenas, and further disclosures of documents..... 2. Mazars stonewalled - releasing only 20% of requested docs till date 3. Secret Service never released the total number of rooms acquired at each Trump property, on each visit through P45 tenure, due to such data being classified. Naturally. Therefore till date, we don't know the total amount Trump stole from his own government. The estimation from the few docs obtained via FOI act and subpoena already put this at millions. But Eric Trump said the SS always stayed for free. A big lie that DJT himself never sought to correct. ----'------------- In other cases, P45 was being sued for received payments to his companies from different countries totalling about $8m from the limited documents obtained. The total amounts are assumed to higher but because of the same reasons above, further docs could not be obtained. We also had Republicans all running to book rooms at Mar a lago and other properties of his during this first tenure. I cannot list the extent of clear cases of fraud due to brevity. But you are asking me .....How would a rational person say Trump used that position to enrich himself? Really? If you want to be honest, you would realise you were making these statements out of sheer ignorance of what really happened.

PART 2 @Android17 To bring this back home to the actual topic ......how can you then in good faith, knowing what I know, continue to argue those points? You can see that this is just a fraudulent guy from head to toe. How can you take for gospel anything he says about money? You say, he didn't receive salary for 4 years. But the constitution requires that he gets paid by the Treasury. He got paid. FACTS! He then announced through the White House that he gave "gifts" to certain agencies. But did those agencies receive those payments? There is no documentation ever shown to prove this fact. Matter of fact, for the last one year of his presidency he stopped announcing any gifts. But remember your own words, "he didn't receive a single penny". That is a flat out lie. By the guy who said it, and all the people who parrot the same point. It's just not true. Furthermore, this whole I didn't receive $400k salary thing, was a major distraction from the major grifts that were happening. Dude was acting in public like he gave all his 400k away, but stealing way more money from taxpayers and his own government in hotel room rates. And to Forbes..... How can Forbes accurately determine all Trump really made during his Presidency when all earnings and deals were shrouded in secrecy? His accountants, Mazars, refused to share documents, and he refused to release Tax returns for his entire Presidency. Most of Trump's wealth at the time was from Real Estate and everyone's real estate devalued in 2021 due to COVID, and so, his publicly known were marked down. This is not to say that Trump did not profit from his Presidency, did not try to, or that Forbes lied. See it as the same way Forbes cannot put Putin on the top 10 wealthiest Billionaires, even though most Russians see Putin this way. If it's not official, Forbes cannot report it. This does not mean it doesn't exist. And that is why I tell you it all comes down to why he lied about his valuation in the first place. If a man will deliberately up his valuation by over 100% for a certain purpose, he can hide his actual valuation for another purpose! Meanwhile, my original point on the topic was that it is all about the money. If he did all that in his first term, what would he do, now that he has full control of the government? |

Android17:The never-do-wrong saintly democrats and their goons murdered this man in his first term. Everything he said was always purposefully misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. Glad he is never giving them that chance anymore. He has indeed learned the hard way. |

Another epic liberal failure. Ivanpah solar power plant has always failed to live up to it's reputation. 175,000 mirrors concentrates sunlight energy to a tower height boiler which heats water and turns it into steam to run a turbine. Wasteful process . This alien like thing fries thousands of birds every other day. Environmentalists don't care. To make it worse the darn plant uses natural gas to start it up in the morning. Each mirror has a control motor to allow tilt it towards the sun at right angle in order to generate reflect maximum energy. It uses the same energy it generates to turn the double sided mirrors after being kickstarted in the morning . This was the future of clean energy according to Obama who pumped $1.6 billion into this white elephant. Shovel ready jobs my foot. It's closing down in a years time, too expensive to run it CNN says it's closing down because panels have become cheap. The whole idea was just absurd and an experiment that someone pocketed enough $$$ while preaching to the adherents of the climate change sect. Humongous, the mirrors spread on 3500 acres of land.

Nateevs2:So how much was it in total. If I'm right the total cost paid to Trump was around 3-4 times his 4 years salary that he donated to charities. Biden spent 40% of his time on vacation, was he housing the tens of secret service agents or they were being put up in a $50 a night hotel ? Hunter Biden rented a $20K a month mansion, secret service rented $30k monthly nearby to protect him. This was at tax payer expenses. You never complained about this, forever hold your peace I'm told TDS meaning has been changed to mean those who support Trump thanks to our resident idiot.

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by nateevs(m): 10:45am On Feb 14, 2025 |
basilico:There is an obvious problem with you guys. I, do not like Biden and by extension I do not care for Hunter Biden. If you want to go ahead and prosecute both under the law for excesses they had in government, be my guest. I do not give a phucking care in this world. I am consistent. But to say that because they had excesses, then it's okay for Trump to steal money from the government to the tune of millions, then it's fine, is the mother of all insanity. Look at how you started out ..... almost like with the tone of "ehn how much be de money sef wey you dey shout" ..... don't you see it makes a mockery of this whole DOGE nonsense going on. That everybody is in on it, but they are making the loudest noises? And no, you are not right. It was never 3 x 4 times his salary. I highlighted the various reasons why the extent of the fraud could not be brought to light. Don't you worry that if he blocked all documentation in his first term from proving the extent of this fraud, then he's doing his best with this DOGE nonsense to make sure every bit of evidence gets wiped out? Don't you worry that if they got away with this fraud first time around, then this time, he's already doing it again..... this time around with Secret Service protection for Musk as well at his and Trump's own properties? Is this the America you want? They did it, so we can do worse? |

nateevs:Trump vacations in his hotels Where are the SS agents supposed to stay? If he didn't stay in his hotels where you want him to stay? At Jeff Bezos mansion? Or Epstein's? Democrat witch-hunt started when they took over the house. This is not news that had you running naked to the living room shouting eureka. https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/oversight-democrats-new-report-proves-trump-used-his-dc-hotel-take There is a video of Donald Trump Jr saying they charged at cost for accomodations of the presidential entourage.Ill dig it up and cc you It would be a blot on SS if anyone deemed sensitive to require it's protection is not provided for. The total figure from CREW ( check whether they get USAID funds,) was just above $2 million. That's causing you a toothache to someone who donated his entire $400K salary to charities. The Secret Service has spent at least $1.75 million staying at Trump properties to protect the former president and his family, according to newly available government records........ Before becoming president, Biden charged the Secret Service $2,200 a month to stay in a cottage on his property. In total, Biden received $171,600 between 2011 and 2017.... In other words you are regurgitating nonsense. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by nateevs(m): 11:33am On Feb 14, 2025 |
basilico:MAGAnut. No they should come and stay at my house. Is that the bone of contention, or that he was charging up to $1100 per night per room to the SS, same rooms that were selling at $248 dollars on the same nights? You want to bring a video? Hehehehe. The video is for you. These receipts are public records. Will you also bring the video where Eric Trump said SS was Infact staying for free? You are embracing and excusing unprecedented corruption with your hands and feet, but shouting Elon Musk over the place.....Hypocritical is a nice word I swear. |

nateevs . Here is the link . https://www.foxnews.com/media/eric-trump-secret-service-charges-washington-post-report We could go out and sell a room for $1,500 a night," Eric Trump went on. "There's very limited rooms, Mar-a-Lago's the hottest place in the world. We charge them cost, effectively housekeeping cost -- and they go out and say we charge $650 for a room, which was [actually] many rooms." Eric also remarked that the organization has lost "a fortune" on rooms occupied by government employees and reiterated that he makes "zero profit on anything government-related I've got a very good memory if you didn't know |

When we say he defrauded the government, there is a reason for it. When we say he lied over 4000 times in 4 years, there's a reason for it. When we say he created a meme coin and defrauded his supporters, there's a reason for it. When say he received more more than $10m from the Turkish government, there is a reason for it. When we say he received over $8m to his various businesses, there's a reason for it. There is reason he didn't declared his tax returns. There's is reason he over valued his net worth by over 100% ... The list goes on. There is always a reason for it. It's not fraudulent practice. It's the Art of the Deal. |

raumdeuter:The problem is this, if you hate someone, even if he greets you good morning in the morning, you will still misinterpret it as good afternoon or good evening. I have never seen this much hatred like the way these people hate this man. He was once their friend. The problem was how could he run for the presidency. They only need his funds. That's all. And they unleashed the jackals and hyenas on him. Have been a fan of Trump for years. He says it like he sees and thinks it. I will be elated if Nigerian govt spending will be opened to the public this way. Come and defend yourself. |

descarado:That is it. Their aim is to keep power for themselves, They are used to taking his money for campaign donations, but the moment he decided to contest, he became the devil. All the people who were friends with him suddenly became enemies I have known Trump since the 90s promoting boxing, supporting black athletes, No one called him a racist until he decided to contest. He said "There are good people on both sides I am not talking about white nationalists and Nazis as those deserve to be condemned", they claimed he said Nazis were good people He said people like Liz Cheney like to send people to war while they sit in their offices, I will like to see her given a rifle and face 9 guns in a warfront to see if she still supports it. They turned it that he wants Liz Cheney shot Ask yourself, why will any genuine tax paying citizen be angry that they are exposing fraud in how his money is being spent. Their anger is that its Elon Musk or a 20yr old? Its like 7yr old tell you descerado, there is a robber in your house? Will you ask "Who gave you the right to tell me? or you are too young/inexperienced? Trump speaks like the regular American and people find him relatable. How many people do you know that say "unburdened by what has been " in daily conversations Someone was saying he has been divorced or cheats on his wife so he is not fit to be President, when over 50% of American marriages end in Divorce due to cheating and those not divorced, half of them are cheating |

All of the people voting Republican against their own interests and crying online because they thought they would be exempt are the exact definition of the trees voting for the axe. Voting against Their Medicare, Their fraud protection agencies,Their farms etc. Everything that helps them they vote against because the billionaires who need their money are telling them they’re one of them. You need to take it easy on the projection. |

None has been as vile and disgusting as he is. Most people never even cared about politics until he came along. Because we could all agree that politicians are generally not awesome and we don’t concern ourselves too much with them as long things are going well. He’s an actual evil person whose meddling in politics has woken everyone up as to how things can go from meh to extremely terrible if you stand idly by and let anyone take office.
