Whatever it was a political hit job like the whole Russian collusion fiasco .


Based on what? I ask this question to you because as I recall you posted here some time ago that all news media is suspect. If that is the case what do you base your opinion on? Do you have personal knowledge of the parties involved?

He's got FOX and that is about the size of it.

Does Trump forfeit his entire salary? He may get the taxpayers' money in other ways. :)


On indeed, Trump IS being paid, just donates his salary as a "LOOK OVER THERE" tactic that his clappers in the dark fall for while he rakes in tax payers dollars to his business every time he steps on one of his privately owned golf resorts. It's laughable that they can't see that his "charity" is nothing but a diversion.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckj...cost-taxpayers-over-340-million/#1bd27df328aa

So far Trump’s golf trips have cost at least $105 million (the linked article is from about a year ago so this number has grown)

Trump’s trips to his golf courses are very expensive and much more than Obama’s since Trump’s have been more frequent and usually requires Air Force One and all the accompanying security arraignments.

From a combination of an analysis from the HuffPost, the GAO or General Accounting Office, Politico and the Washington Post using costs from both Obama and Trump golf trips the estimated cost of Trump’s visits so far come to a range of $105 to $108 million. When you extrapolate the $105 million estimate to eight years, assuming Trump is re-elected, the total cost is over $340 million.

The GAO report estimated that just four of Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago cost:

-$13.6 million
-Do not “capture all of the total expenditures by the government”
-Do not “include certain classified cost information”
-$60,000 in expenses paid to Mar-a-Lago (there have been 24 so far)
-Were not able to identify meals and incidental expenses, if any, that may have been incurred at the Mar-a-Lago club

To put $340 million into perspective it is:

-106 times Trump’s $400,000 salary over 8 years combined (which he is donating back to the government)
-Almost twice the $190 million annual cost for the Peace Corps
-$25 million more than the $315 million annual cost for the General Accounting Office
-About 10 times the approximately $35 million cost of the Mueller investigation
-But in reality Mueller’s team brought in more than it spent due to acquiring enough of Manafort’s assets to more than
pay the full cost


And there is likely more. So yeah. Trump is getting paid.

Based on the fact that the whole Russian Collusion investigation was a false flag . A bunch of B.S. and I surely hope the perpetrators face jail time .

Yup and Barrick Obama was a poor community organizer prior to his election . All Presidents in my memory have ended up richer then they started . Let’s make an example of Trump , but remember what is good for the goose is good for the gander .

Where are Hunter Biden’s tax returns ?

What fact? Where are your facts coming from? What is your source if all news media is suspect? Do you not recall making this statement? If all news media is suspect wouldn't then the narrative that the Russia investigation was a false flag and a bunch of BS, also be suspect?

Trump wanted to sell Puerto Rico. And buy Greenland. And thinks folks are going to tear down the Washington Monument. And thought people should inject Clorox into their veins. And he is president. No. Really. Dude should be finger painting under a doctor's supervision somewhere.


First pgs giving me a great laugh thinking that George Conway played the Tim Conway character Dorf, and now this. You win the post of the night award.

Okay miss mock bird does not get sarcasm . Tim Conway was an extremely funny comedian who would be pilloried in today’s politically correct society .

No one cares about Kelly Anne Conway or her husband .
