Now that face time with Hillary has no value to despot nations that want to buy our Uranium and advanced weapons systems, it seems the contributions to the Clinton foundation have declined to the point that the organization will cease operations.


If Clinton Foundation Was So Great, Why Aren't Dems Pushing Donations?


$153 million in Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking fees, documented - CNNPolitics.com




Care to take a guess what her new speaking fee will be?
It's really long past time to stop deflecting with Hillary - who is NOT President and will never be; and start addressing the CURRENT President who is currently busy lining his pockets whilst doing the people's business.


Hillary is gone. I never gave a dime to their foundation and never will.


NOW. Let's address Trump.

I know presidents cannot entirely avoid stuff like this, but this is so blatant as to be really creepy.

Kind of like Ivanka pushing her gold bracelet that she wore while in discussions with Japan over US government dealings while she had them targeted to expand her business.

Just completely inappropriate.
And Melania's jewelry collection being noted on the official WH website.

It's all about self-aggrandizement for the lot of them.
These people have no shame.

The website doesn't really promote it. It's touting Melania as an entrepreneur and businesswoman. I don't think the jewelry is even available any more except through E-bay and resale sites.

Trump's Mar-a-Lago doubles membership fee

How much more proof is needed to show how this is all about his branding schemes and using the office to enrich himself. He's so unabashedly greedy and self-serving.

And btw...what is that about the birther-in-chief not being an elitist...LMAO

I wonder how many of his fans on this forum will be joining his average American working guy's country club.
Right...
































You know that you're not required to join this club, right? (As opposed to Obamacare, where everybody is required to join, for reasons that have not been adequately justified.)

No matter...if you wish to avoid this exorbitant membership fee, my suggestion would be to avoid becoming a member of Mar-A-Lago.

There you go. Problem solved.

You're welcome.

Not sure what your point is. You do realize the Obama's earned most of these millions while he was President or running for President don't you?

Nowhere do I see the membership includes time to spend with the President.

So keep your lies and your fake insinuations to yourself as it is getting boring to see the left trying to throw whatever...in the air as everything falls right down and doesn't stick. Entire kitchens have been thrown after the kitchen sink didn't stick.
Why are you so quick to talk about what the "Capitalist system" allows yet so forgetful about the freedom of opinion the Constitution allows?

First we have a reality show that should be called ..."The White House Episodes" playing out and now they are turning the website into a shopper's channel.. Classy! How this so cheapens the office is pathetic!

Did you purposely avoid the point of the thread? Or were you just not quick enough on the uptake to grasp it?

And I must say that the false equivalency comparison of the dire necessity for healthcare for people in need and a golf resort membership makes me go with the not quick enough on the uptake choice...

Mar A Lago is a private resort
Whether or not dues are increased, legally under owners' contracts or illegally is not really a "political" controversy is it?
Thread might belong in the Miami FL board
Or the Real Estate board

Anyone who buys in a Trump resort has more money than sense IMO

Just as long as he doesn't put his feet on the desk the Trumpies will have no problems with him.
