Most Presidents are there to 'serve'. They enter office to represent America, and make decisions to benefit the people.
Not Trump.
Trump became President to fill his pockets. And he has been really successful.
Last year he made more than a billion dollars from his cryptocurrency.
He gained $635 Million in royalties from his $Trump meme coin. He made more than $500m in from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm founded by his sons and the children of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
Trump also earned millions from real estate and Trump-themed items such as Bibles, watches, fragrances and guitars.
Of course he denied any conflict of interest.

He is still only rich on paper. That's why he is fighting the Carroll payout so hard. He would have to start selling stuff to pay her

@Ineeddentures There is a time limit on pressing charges that she did not meet. So no criminal trial. This was able to be filed as he started calling her a liar when she did come out about what happened. He was publicly trying to ruin her reputation and she was able to prove that.

Someone is going to have to explain to me why he isn't on jail for what he did to her
In every other law court on the planet they would have said he was guilty of tape, wouldn't they?

I was just reading this same thing. My biggest hope is that he is gone in 31/2 years and we don't have to put up with any more Trumps or Republicans for a while.

It's going to take more than just a change of president. The political system in America has clearly broken down, with blatant election rigging, constitutional violations now part of the routine, and none of the intended checks and balances operating as they should.
The system has to be changed, radically, and there have to be arrests and prosecutions of everyone who engaged in illegal activity as part of the current regime. Otherwise the door remains open for any gang of power-hungry dictators, whether they call themselves Republicans or Democrats.

Knew Jim would be here. he can only go as far as American people will take him. The constitution is really amazing. If you listen and understand it, it will show you worlds that could be true, if you deny it, its going to misery on us all.

@jaylar I understood some voting for him that time because of wanting change. But he proved then he is worse than anything in the past

@wolfgirl569 I feel if the Dems had run a white man against him he would have lost.

Oh my God. He's a smart businessman. For crying out loud, call out the guards and behead him. Now, go ask how much the Clinton's made. Or the Obama's. The Obama's came in almost broke. Now they are multi-millionaires many times over. I wonder how that happened?
As for lining his pockets, he didn't need to do that by becoming president, and in fact, he had to divest to do that. His kids run the company. He has also never accepted his salary while being in office and always donates it.
He was a multi-billionaire before he ever stepped into the White House, so you're entire statement is just...
Ignorant.

Trump is a business man..I knew him before he became president. It seems most Americans hate him..I may be wrong though but I'm saying that based on what I hear online users says. It's just sad that he is using that office to enrich himself..sounds like a typical African leader
