"Trump only cares if you pay him."

You people get more DESPERATE every day.

I doubt if you even know that Trump has offered to take NO SALARY while being President.

By ONLY paying attention to the LSM you will NOT be well informed and make complete fools of yourselves by making such claims.

Then you blame everything under the sun for why you lost 1,000 political seats since 2009.

But he's going to use his office to ensure his businesses make more money. Removing regulations, etc. The president's salary he turned down is a pittance compared to how much he's going to make.

I sure hope you DON'T vote.

I put company in QUOTES for a reason.

If you don't know what that reason is, I can't help you.

Maybe Trump can repeal the 1st Amendment by Executive Action too.

Exactly this. He turned down the salary because it is chump change to him. Meanwhile, he's making more off of fees charged in Mar-a-Largo, is seeing a boom in visitors to his hotels and will soon have thrice as many, and has used his office to ensure his stake in the Dakota Access pipeline will make him money, too - water security of the little people be d***ed. Oh! And the First Lady gets free advertising for her line of QVC jewelry on the Whitehouse website. Not bad!

"So you can state whatever you want here because you support trump,"

And you can state whatever yu want because you do NOT support trump.

"I'm more incolined to believe the people at the EPA saying what's happening"

Why?

Do you know them personally?

Do you know their party affiliation?

Do you know their opinions on the subjects at hand?

It has been PROVEN that most of what is is being claimed the Trump memo says on this subject is B.S.

Some federal employees, who have worked through several administrations, have written a letter stating what Trump did was NOTING DIFFERENT then what every other president has done.

Did you read that?

It is post #249

Wikileaks was revealing government information that was not intended to be public. And information that is more sensitive where national security is concerned than what some NPS employees posted on twitter about climate change.
"Wikileaks was revealing government information that was not intended to be public."

YOU have made claim has been made over and over and all I have asked is "show us".

YOU have NOT yet has provided it. WHY?

Maybe you can.

How?

And I want DETAILS, NOT just more "I said so".

I mean, it's not like Trump made his cabinet full of rich people that stand to profit or have their donors profit from his actions.

His treasury secretary is a Goldman Sachs veteran...

State secretary is an outgoing chairman of ExxonMobil...

Scott Pruitt, Attorney General, A climate change denier and director of the EPA.

Betsy DeVos, Education, you know, the billionaire that spent most of her life trying to destroy public education.

The Secretary of Labor is a former CEO of a fast food company. The guy who is going to protect workers rights.

Going even further is depressing. His entire cabinet is made up of massively rich, interest-conflicted, and people who are completely unqualified for their positions (either legally, or professionally).

Here's a bonus:

Mar-a-Lago membership fee doubles to $200,000

Quote:
Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach resort owned by the Trump Organization, doubled its initiation fee to $200,000 following the election of Donald Trump as president.
Quote:
A membership at Mar-a-Lago now includes a chance to mingle with the 45th president. Trump plans to use the resort as his occasional "Winter White House."
He definitely won't be influenced by the people who have enough money to pay $200,000 just to be a member at HIS resort.
