He said he was worth 10 billion.. we found out that's a lie.@@mikesamra9126

Is Trump the only President to declare "and when I come back in EIGHT years."? He assumed re-election was a formality.

During the four years that Donald Trump occupied the White House, the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China paid him an estimated $7 million to rent space in Trump Tower. Despite the extraordinary circumstances of the deal-involving the government of China, the president of the United States, and millions of dollars-the Trump family portrayed the agreement as a standard business transaction. Previously unreported documents call that characterization into question. -Forbes

Exactly. Why it's coming out now: House oversight committee investigation. Trump blocked the committee's subpoena to get this info from his accounting firm Mazars. They finally won in court and have info for the first two years he was in office.

Trevor McFadden.... remember that name. He's D3’s judge who stalled us getting the tax returns of the PAB for approx 3 years. Mc Fadden let the case sit on his desk w/out any consideration for 3 years.

[@JimmeShelter]

Then the swampers leaked Trump's tax docs to the media. They found out that his tax returns, prepared by CPAs and lawyers were correct. So what's your point? Maybe they'll leak your docs some day.

[@tracyhaverstick5672]

[@conniemazas]

The emoluments clause in Article 1, Section 9, states, “No person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.” This means that U.S. government officials cannot accept gifts or money from foreign officials or foreign countries. Congress, however, may vote to allow emoluments. He openly admits he is doing business with foreign countries and who he sold to....and yet, no one does a thing about it...nice, real nice.....

[@AndyLeatherBear]

[@naygirl334]

You and me both. I’m just so sick of everybody saying they’re shocked. When the man literally tweeted out or said everything he’s ever done. Dah🥸🤪

[@stratostatic]

There were a few people in congress and the press talking about his violating the Emoluments Act, then it all faded away when it was clear that a corrupt Atorney General would do nothing about it.

[@tonyjones1560]

When he claimed that he was going to donate his salary, I said, “Sure he will. He’s about to rake in millions under the table. $400,000 per year might as well be beer money. And he doesn’t drink…” Trump “invested” $1.6 million in order to make nearly $8 million and we can bet the entire collection of sweet bippy that Jared had to break off a nice chunk of that Saudi haul to him. Meanwhile, near as I can tell so far, Joe Biden is facing a formal impeachment inquiry for making a few car payments for Hunter and accepting the less than $5000 when it was paid back. FTR, I’d be gobsmacked if Trump actually donated his salary to another charity besides his favorite: himself.

[@chrislonsdale2953]

Naygirl, what did he tweet?

I went through the Capitol as a kid in 1964 and that was not tourists going through the Capitol. Come on Congress give the American People much more credit then that.

Some fun trivia surrounding the word "trumpery" : -Nonsense; twaddle. -Of little or no value; trifling, worthless; rubbishy; trashy. -Attractive articles of little value or use. -Practices or beliefs that are superficially or visually appealing but have little real value or worth. -Showy but worthless. -Delusive or shallow. "Trumpery derives from the Middle English trompery and ultimately from the Middle French tromper, meaning "to deceive." Trumpery first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase trump up means "to concoct with the intent to deceive"." - From the Merriam Webster Dictionary While the word "trump", means *fart* in English slang.
