(2,227 posts)Bette helps us to stay grounded. Too bad our politicians don't follow her lead.
All anyone has to do is compare Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, you know, the assistance REAL salt of the earth people get, to all the "emoluments" he has received while pResident... WITH dollar amounts...
golfing
tax payer funded trips abroad for the turd's entire Klan, though NONE of them do any work
staying at the turd's properties, which require his entire entourage, plus all the Secret Service agents to pay up to $650 A NIGHT, which goes straight from the tax payers pockets, to HIS pockets
all the corrupt republican gatherings, fund raisers, at his Trump Hotel in DC, which goes directly into the turd's pockets (plus he vetoed a move of the FBI headquarters because a hotel would be built on the site, which would compete with his hotel)
all the foreign country dignataries staying at the turd's properties to garner favors, with those room rental $$$ going directly into his pockets
the turd instructing the military to stay at his resorts, so tax payer monies go directly into his pockets
But the American people are so stupid and ignorant that we can't wrap our little brains around "the emoluments clause", bless our hearts....
I call BULLSHIT.
Americans understand scams and con artists. And we HATE them. Once again we allow THEM to control the narrative.
The turd's run for presidency was nothing but a scam to MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE PRESIDENCY. You know, EXACTLY what the emoluments clause was to address.
He didn't expect to win, but immediately starting making money off of his run. Then he HIT THE JACKPOT.
But we can't understand it enough to toss his ass out of OUR White House? Again, I call bullshit.
