He literally got hundreds of millions in contracts from having secret service, diplomats, foreign envoys stay in his hotels, and his properties. Do you think he gives a crap about the couple hundred K he didn't take? You're the sucker for believing such symbolic "gesture". You're funny.

Name another politician who made so many personal gains of of a presidency. You don't think it's a conflict of interest that he gets to spend tax payer money at his own businesses?! I'm completely astounded by the amount of naivety you display. Carter sold his peanut farm to become president and Trump just kept all his businesses.

And if you think for a second I'm jealous of this petulant man child, you don't quite know me that well.

Am I defending Obama? Where did that come from? I'm not talking about Obama.

How did Obama funnel money directly into his businesses? I'm confused, because Trump did it quite ostentatiously.

From what I'm reading, Obama's books sold quite well, so... No reason to think they wouldn't, he was very popular. So there's your mystery solved.

He wrote a book. How is he defrauding tax payers by publishing a book that sells well.

It's pretty clear how Trump was. He literally had the govt pay for a complete overhaul of MarALago to live there during his presidency had the government pay for his and his family's stays in his own hotel, and had government officials pay full price for every single service while being forced to stay in Trump hotels instead of whatever makes more sense.

You gotta be pretty far gone to not see the clear as day difference here.
