Trump made at least $9.6 million from the Middle East while president

[struth]

Donald Trump made at least $9.6 million from countries in the Middle East during his presidency, according to years of reporting and a CREW analysis of his tax returns. That means Trump pulled in at least six times his official presidential salary in side income from the Middle East alone during his time in office. The total is likely much higher, but public reporting only sheds light on the most high profile instances of profiteering, and he is only required to report certain types of income on his tax returns.

After Trump was elected president, he made the unprecedented decision not to divest from his business interests, and remained very much involved in the Trump Organization, creating an endless number of conflicts of interest by blurring the lines between the government and his businesses. The profiteering paid off, and Trump raked in tens of millions from international business interests during his time in office.

While he got patents for his dtr and made Kuskner a rich man, thanks to the Middle East.

So they paid their rent and hotel fees to the trump organization? Ok

Not sure your point

Also it was not unprecedented for a president not to divest their investments…no president has ever done that…that’s a lie

Just another deflection from the evidence Joey Xiden has sold his office for years to China

You're just too smart for me! That's for sure!

Everyone is too smart for you, Mac.

Everyone is too smart for you, Mac.

That's so true!

So, your point is that Trump made a few million from legitimate business dealings with others, while Joe Biden collected 50 million from hostile foreign governments for no conceivable service nor legitimate business practice that he can show, so had it all done surreptitiously through his son hiding the money in foreign banks?

And your point was?

 

[toobfreak]

That's so true!

Mac-- -- smartest guy who never says anything nor ever takes any definite position on anything other than how wrong everyone else is while he is so much smarter than the rest of the world!

That's Trump... Stable genius.

The Trump organization built things and met payrolls and offered good paying jobs. Whatever Trump made in the mid-east was related to his investments. He didn't even accept a salary as president. Biden never had a real job. His son made millions by selling access to old Joe.

 

[Mac1958]

any evidence of bribes or any malfeasance at all? Just making money is
not proof of misconduct

Well, the neat thing is that they no longer require solid evidence. All they need is a story. Then, when they can't prove the accusations, they say it's only because they're victims of corruption.

That's a pretty cool schtick right there!

If someone broke the law, especially the President, we need to know. But these clowns make a fucking mockery of everything they touch.

 

[The5thHorseman]

Exceeded by the corruption and criminality of the Bidens and Obamas, prior to and during their administrations. Both have acquired million$ on so-called "book royalties" and "speaking fees" while never selling enough books to actually cover paying those royalties nor having anything valuable enough to say to warrant speaking fees of hundred$ of thou$and$ per appearance.

You aren't paid royalties unless your sales exceed your contract amount.

 

[The5thHorseman]

So the fact that Trump never committed any such atrocities means he is guilty?

Biden accepted $50 million in bribes and you don't care.

You are truly a fucking moron.

It's gonna be great when he takes the stand and smites his enemies, under oath

Oh, I do love shoving lies down your throats! Here ya go!

Where does Mac1958 actually stand on the issues?

Try another one, rube! And keep 'em coming!

Apparently she believes taking a bribe is no different than earning an honest dollar. That's the Kool-Aid they have all been trying to sell lately.

 

[Godboy]

Maybe...

But it is why I am not as ignorant as you.

Youre dishonest. Youre trying to imply that because you took a course, you are now the authority on whether or not the Bidens were using shell companies to hide their bribery scheme. Surely you must know that isnt going to work on anyone, right?

Biden, take the stand? You must be joking.

Sounds like you don't know much about Trump's business practices. It's a small operation that cuts a lot of corners and commits bank fraud and tax fraud.

Why hasn't he been indicted for that then? You confuse prog gossip with actual facts.

He has been in NY State.

So everyone who has lived in NY is a criminal?

Nope. Trump has been indicted for fraudulent business practices. His accountant testified against him.
