It has been clear from day one that Trump is different.

Uh, yeah, duh.

What do those people have to fall back on after achieving the highest office in the world? They're career politicians. They're not even writing those books, you know. They're worthless human beings who've made a life out of sucking the money and energy out of yours.

Trump was successful before entering politics. The idea that he's supposed to just sit back and publish a book or something is kind of dumb, and frankly, it's antithetical to what our country stands for. The entire idea of our country is that politicians are no different than the rest of us. But for some reason, a former president is treated differently?

Nah. It's not Trump that's doing something wrong here. It's people like the OP and the person who wrote that article.

And ones that are truly wealthy don't at all. I don't think Bush did, did he?



Selling Trump: A Profitable Post-Presidency Like No Other
Much as he did while in the White House, Donald Trump has thoroughly blurred the lines between his political ambitions and his business interests, with a wide-ranging set of moneymaking ventures.

Other past presidents have cashed in financially after leaving the White House. Barack and Michelle Obama reportedly sold a joint book deal for $65 million. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s speechmaking after leaving the White House was estimated to have netted them $153 million by the spring of 2015, when Mrs. Clinton announced her own run for president. George W. Bush has been a mainstay on the speaking circuit, too.
But no former president has been more determined to meld his business interests — from chocolate bars to real estate to a tech start-up — with a continuing political operation and capitalize on that for personal gain.

"Selling Trump: A Profitable Post-Presidency Like No Other"

Trump was a very SUCCESSFUL business man BEFORE he became president.

While president he LOST money.

He even DONATED his salary to charities.

He offered to use his OWN plane to save taxpayers money.

"on that for personal gain."

And why do you think ANY retired politician publishes books?

TDS is STILL ALIVE!

They don't WANT to talk about bidedn kamala and his admin people and what they have done, or NOT done, so they try to "move the target", as they say!

Obama and Michelle's deal with Netflix $65M, what's the difference?

LOL.

As long as Trump is staying within the law, the OP = sour grapes.
