Trump Pockets $1.1 Million in 2020 Campaign Donations

[georgephillip]

"On the day Donald Trump became president of the United States, while inauguration festivities were still in full swing, he officially launched his 2020 reelection campaign.

"Donations poured in from more than 50,000 people across the country.

"But according to the latest federal filings, Trump still has not donated a penny of his own, while his businesses continued to charge the campaign for hotels, food, rent and legal consulting.

"That means the richest president in American history has turned $1.1 million from donors across the country into revenue for himself."

How Donald Trump Shifted $1.1M Of Campaign-Donor Money Into His Business

Is Trump smart or just another con man?

Does the confidence heuristic explain why so many Americans still find him credible?

Don't think so. Putin isn't playing with the US anymore. He has better judgement these days.

Trump might not have to run again in 2020. He can do what needs to be done between now and the end of 2019

“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.”

Trump smarter than Hillary. She blew 1.2 billion on the election to take the mantle of the world's most expensive loser.

I just keep remembering the Clinton Defense fund and the Clinton Foundation pocketing billions.

Who cares? Just another lame attempt to turn Trump-supporters away from him and truthfully, you failed at it.

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father

"The manipulation of values to evade taxes was central to one of the most important financial events in Donald Trump’s life. In an episode never before revealed, Mr. Trump and his siblings gained ownership of most of their father’s empire on Nov. 22, 1997, a year and a half before Fred Trump’s death.

"Critical to the complex transaction was the value put on the real estate.

"The lower its value, the lower the gift taxes.

"The Trumps dodged hundreds of millions in gift taxes by submitting tax returns that grossly undervalued the properties, claiming they were worth just $41.4 million.

"The same set of buildings would be sold off over the next decade for more than 16 times that amount."

The real "suckers" in this country are those idiots who thought Bernie was the latest American Messiah, only to see him given the shaft and being stuck holding the bag with Hillary as the Democratic nominee.

You guys and girls are major clownshoes.

Just more lame self-validation and virtue-signalling that "Trump is de debbil."

You guys and girls really need a hobby.
