Painting the White House

Donald Trump wanted to repaint the White House, and received three quotes:

Chinese contractor: 3 million
German Contractor: 7 million
Russian Contractor: 10 million

So Trump asked the Chinese contractor: "Why did you bid 3 million"? The Chinese contractor said: "One million for paint, one million for labor, and one million is profit."

He then asked the German contractor why he was asking 7 million. The German replied: "3 million for high quality paint, 2 million for the specialized workforce, and 2 million is profit."

He then asked the Russian why he was asking 10 million. The Russian responded: "Donald Donald my friend, it's 4 million for you, 3 million for me, and with the 3 million left we hire the Chinese contractor!"

Trump is now taking bids for painting his wall.

We all know he always is thinking about how he can make money off of all his scams. What's his angle on the Wall? So this post isn't far from the truth.
