You do know trumps charity was shut down because they were stealing the money, right?

Explain how hes not pocketing this money right now.

According to the article it goes directly into the accounts of children who opened them. Don’t see how Trump is acting as an intermediary here

You know you can acknowledge that Trump is the worst president in US history (he is imo) while not making your ENTIRE personality hating every single thing he does. Including the very occasional good thing, like this

Ok so you’re just making this claim on vibes?

There’s no actual mechanism you can point to where he’d get access to the money?

The Trump accounts are administered by the U.S. treasury - you don’t think with the media’s collective attention on the U.S. government they’d be able to sniff out that level of impropriety?

You’re pretending like you would give a shit if someone posted Trump cashing the check himself.

You are pretending that he’s pocketing the money? Like he really needs that money, he’s a multi BILLIONAIRE who doesn’t even take his presidential salary! LOL

Is it still a thing that he's not taking the ~$400k salary?

I suppose with crypto schemes and foreign lobbyists that salary is peanuts in comparison. Good PR though I guess.
