Joe is not half as rich as Trump, so you can’t expect him to do it.

I mean even Trump’s in-laws are richer than Joe.

I agree. It's not like they don't all make a mint afterward from book deals, speaking engagements, etc. And since most of them (Trump being the obvious exception) have been in public office for years prior to becoming POTUS, they all stand to receive a cushy gov't pension, too...right? (If I am wrong, please provide some evidence.)

Did you just out yourself as "Joe's" personal accountant/CPA? You must be to have knowledge of this "fact". Anyway, see my comments above.

With Biden's 47+ years in public office, don't you think he's pretty much got it made financially? Since I am *not* his personal accountant, I can only guess, but based on his "work" history, I'd say it's more likely than not.

Who cares. Did we see his taxes? The man is a Yankee Manhattan con man that has nothing in common with the average white male.

So, you think that Joe and Hunter didn't get so much as one cent from Ukraine and China? Good grief! You must be living under a rock.

Due to all his ill gotten gains, Joe is far from poor?

Trump is the one who was always bragging, how rich he is and being a billionaire. Biden shouldn't donate if he doesn't want to, and presidents should get paid. The military gets paid and the president is the commander in chief, so he should get paid also, regardless if he needs it or not. Whatever he does with his money is his business.
