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.

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.

Except he never said people should inject Clorox. That is what the lefty media claimed he said.

We are quite a bit less than that in Canada! I think 1% is pretty close here.

I'm going to amend that statement, Canada is quite a bit higher than I thought- overall probably in the vicinity of 7%, although most of the deaths have occurred in Long term care homes in Quebec and Ontario (albeit some of them very poorly run)

You left out the ing in my name just saying.

Was it sarcasm? Was it really?

I think people care about Kellyanne Conway, certainly those in the Trump administration, and his supporters likely care as well. And George Conway has a strong voice in opposition of Trump with over a million followers on Twitter, so I think as least some care about him, or at least his opinions, wouldn't you agree?

Tim Conway certainly was funny, always was a favourite of mine.

I think you meant to say that you couldn't give two shits, it's a common mistake like when people say I could care less, the proper usage is to say I couldn't care less. By stating that you could give two shits implies that you have shits to give, that you do indeed, care.

Again... couldn't care less is the proper way to use that expression but I digress. The point I was making was that there are a number of people who care what he has to say. And very clever on the followers comment, now we're having fun! Well done.

Isn't it amazing how many people get that wrong, even though there is no way of making sense out of it?

It is amazing and it's actually one of my pet peeves. And yes the sense of it can be confusing to some, but if one really concentrates and breaks it down it becomes quite obvious.

But I guess that's not the worst, some people screw up "then" and "than" if you can imagine! :)
