Donald Trump only ran for President to make a lot of money and then get out.

[Jim Beard]

I have been thinking this for a very long time. He has been buttering up to the Russians for a very long time and has made good money from them. Yup, its all about making money, nothing about national pride.

As donald trump would say, SAD, Very Sad

1. I've always thought that, too.

Funny thing is, now that he's "won", he and his precious family think it's their time on the gravy train.

But, with the Deep State after him, I think it is more likely that he will end up disgraced, out of office and, soon enough, bankrupt.

Karma's a bitch.

2. yup. this is why his ethics comments make complete sense.

of course he could run his business and the country at the same time.

and of course there would be no conflict.

because they're both there for donnie to do with as he pleases and make as much money as he can with.

there is no conflict of interest because the only interest is donnie.

3. Yes, although...

I suspect he owes tons of money to the Russians, and hopes to provide services "in kind" to get out from under that. Not that the Russians would let him.

4. There has been a lot of high dollar real estrate trades.

That is what Trump is, a Real Estate Trader.

5. Rich Russians Have Been Super Interested in Buying U.S. Homes Since Donald Trumps Win

6. I've wondered if he ran so he could stiff everyone he owed money to if he won. nt

7. He wants to make the laws that favor him and pass that info on to his family before it happens or th

other way is ti suggest that something big is going to happen and ditch the assets. My last congressman damn near made billionaire doing that being chairman of the House Finance committee.

8. No doubt in my mind. Never was. With PEOTUS Goldenshower, it's always about the moolah

and nothing else.

9. I think he was so pissed off at Barack at that white house correspondents dinner......

that he was going to show him......didn't care how much it cost or who he'd have to be in bed with to get there. AND now, here we are, he won and HE's POTUS.

10. Are we on the hook now?

Will taxpayers be paying for all The Loser's legal bills?

Cause there will be bills, lots of bills.

11. Or free himself from their debt.

12. Doesn't he get.......

lifetime SS protection and pension just for being inaugurated?
