I believe Trump stated he would not take a pay check.

I remember the news media saying the same thing as they reported on the first five weeks Trump was in office golfing every weekend at a cost of $3.5 million a trip.
No need for a salary with those perks.

Why don't you understand that $150B was Iran's to begin with, that the promise was to unfreeze Iran's assets?

It is the 21st Century and Google works so Trumpsters especially can educate themselves. The US was holding Iran's money hostage. I bet if your neighbor was holding on to your money, you would use one of the many guns in your possession to retake it. Iran was given their money.

No, just..no.

I mentioned it was a nice gesture for Trump to do that. You, of course, go immediatly on the attack, making snide remarks about PR stunts and the like. Why cant you just accept it, instead of turning it into some partisan attack? He didnt have to do it, he could have kept the money, or donated to something only right wingers benefit from. Trump did the right thing, but you cannot see past your petty hatred.

Goody. Assuming he's actually going to do it, that donation will compensate for less than 25% of the cost of ONE of his weekend jaunts to (insert whichever Trump resort here). And so far he's gone on these weekend vacations at least 20 times.

Not all of us are as mindless as the cult.
He's a politician. Why would you think anything he does is not a PR stunt? Or any other politician, for that matter? Obama sat in a racist church for 20 years because it served him politically. That's the kind of things politicians do.

I think what Trump did is a nice gesture.

Some people still can't get over the fact that Hillary lost. No matter what Trump does, they're going to hate it. That's what TDS has done to so many.

And what did Obama do to compensate for all those expensive vacations that he and Michelle took?

You are such a good little cultist. You emulate your master perfectly.
It's true... no matter what he does good, right, fair... you all will berate him for it. You are obsessed to the point of being mental. It's really sad how the great divider worked his minions who (BTW) are the original political cultists.

I doubt you can find any Trumpsters with shrines and posters to him, unlike the ObabaBots. Stop being such hypocrites, if that's even possible.
