In the past, we've had presidents who speak about freedom, about justice, about human rights. But Trump, all he ever thinks about is money and profit.

It's cringe-worthy to hear him rant so relentlessly about money in international talks. And of course his supporters, when trying to come up with something to praise him for, mostly focus on money. It's like they've all given up any sense of humanity or community.

He doesn't respond to community or humanity.
He only responds to issues surrounding money.

I know they (and I) can't wait til he is OUT of office.
He likely can't wait either...he can go back to his money-filled life.

What I don't get is he's been railing against NATO for years, thinking the US is getting shafted by its allies, yet he doesn't even understand how it works.

Socialism and communism deliver none of it and advocating for non citizens won't either.

What about the right to not have half of your income taxed away?

Traitor Trump is only interested in making money for himself and his greedy family.

He has a money-filled life RIGHT NOW. He's using the presidency to steer money into his family coffers to an extent that no one ever would have imagined.

What country are you speaking of? The U.S. does not tax 50% at present. Perhaps you've been listening to the way Trump lies about the tax rates?

While Trump is a YUGE pile of garbage, there is nothing...NOTHING wrong with being all about money. In fact, acquiring more of it should be a never-ending process.

Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than anything else in the history of mankind. Money is the ultimate goal of any successful person.

This is true. His quest for money knows no limits...and he'll take from anyone.
