Trump has never been as wealthy as he claims. He couldn't have afforded it.

Hahahaha! No he didn’t.

He billed the RNC for everything.

The trusting one is you.

I suppose you have no problem with politicians capitalizing obscene profits from public service.

No other presidential candidate has had over $400 million handed to him by his father over the course of his life.

I can't stand Biden, but are you saying that former Presidents shouldn't be allowed/be able to write books and make paid speeches ?

I hear you over there screeching out the same bull ****, but I don't see how Biden isn't operating at a sub-Carter level right now.

Trump withdrew troops down to the thousands. He was the one who gave the Talian what they wanted.

Bush Jr, Obama, Trump, and Biden all screwed up. You can focus on Biden all you want, I'm pointing out that Trump is equally guilty and not the saint you guys are pretending he is.

Biden isn't a former president and he owes a lot of favors.

If he had sold some of his properties, he could have!

At least you're admitting the truth that all Administrations are marked with corruption, saying Trump's administration was the least corrupt. But yes, corrupt all the same!

As idyllic as it sounds to have a truly independent businessman at the helm, it would be an exercise in futility. Even if he wins the White House, he would be twiddling his thumbs for 4 years or just waiting to sign or veto whatever congress gives him. If he shuns the major parties, I can't see much effort to cooperate from their end.
