He can’t prove any of his statements, either.
Trump was probably at the White House. No way to know if he was “tirelessly working” since nothing was accomplished and there were like 12 people total at the whitehouse.
Trump donates his salary, sure. But he’s made more than that from membership increases at his golf courses, foreign leaders staying at his hotels, charging the tax payers for golf cart rentals when he’s in Florida, etc.
It’s not a cop out. It’s not worth responding to someone already so cucked. Much like yourself I’m sure. But I did you the honor to shut you up.

1. Trump’s hotels
Trump hotel income jumped from $33.8 million in 2016 to $60.5 million in 2017.
According to financial disclosures, Trump hotel revenue soared over the past few years. In 2015, records show just $16.7 million in hotel and resort revenues. However, that amount doubled to $33.8 million during the campaign and election year. Since Trump began occupying the White House, hotel income jumped about 80%, reaching $60.8 million in 2017.
Various Trump properties banked at least $720,000 from Trump’s own campaign events.
The Center for Responsive Politics sorted the spending of political committees at Trump properties, and Trump’s own campaign events topped the list. In 2017 alone, Trump’s 2020 campaign spent $720,064 at buildings Trump owns. Right here is an example why U.S. presidents are expected to divest from their businesses. Since Trump still holds these properties, he and his family make bonus money every time he holds a fundraiser.
After Trump was elected, Mar-a-Lago doubled member fees to $200,000 before taxes.
This one was straightforward. After the election, Trump signaled he would spend a great deal of time at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. So the club simply doubled its membership fees to $200,000 before taxes. USA Today found that executives from 50 government contractors and 21 lobbyists hold memberships at Trump clubs.
In the first eight months of 2017, two-thirds of those executives and lobbyists played golf on days Trump was there. The swamp was never so convenient for doing business, and the president was never so obvious about how to find him before.
Secret Service golf-cart rentals alone cost taxpayers $137,000 in nine months. The payments go to Trump’s business.
Not only do Trump’s frequent golf trips burn taxpayer dollars; they also make the Trumps lots of money. The system is rather simple and, once you see how it works, you can see why Trump spent over 25% of his first year in office at his own golf clubs.
Overall, the easiest mark is the U.S. Secret Service tasked with the job of protecting Trump. As the law stands, the agency cannot receive payments from presidents. This law exists to limit potential conflicts of interest (irony alert). So the Secret Service paid $137,000 to Trump’s Florida and New Jersey properties for golf cart rentals in just the first nine months of 2017.
proved your statement about Trump most likely making more then his salary would have been.
point is dont fall into the same old tired shtick of "not an argument".
for the record, Trump is a leech, but I support the good things he has done, and I support the office of the President.

Bullchit. The entire "cult" term is made for simpletons like you because you cant understand people that dont think like you. Nobody would continue to be a Trump voter if his policies were SJW pandering bullchit or opening the border.
Get over it, if anything, youre projecting hard. I've never heard you say one good thing about Trump, what do you think that says about you? That screams partisan hack.USMC 0311

02-03-2019, 07:41 PM #54Trump is a very busy campaigner, no other President has campaigned so thoroughly and relentlessly through the entire course of their term. He tweets and spews sound-bites 27 hours a day, 8 days a week, promoting himself and lying and making **** up and taking credit for other peoples’ accomplishments and promoting himself, and that’s a lot of work for a person of his age, physical condition, and mental acuity. It is difficult to imagine just how exhausted, mentally and physically, he must be by the end of his day.While he also spends lots of time golfing at Mar-a-Lago, it’s unclear whether he actually spends more time in recreation than past Presidents, so much as the time he does spend is more conspicuous. To be fair, he’s an elderly man in poor physical shape, so he can’t be spending huge amounts of time golfing around, and he does need all the exercise he can get, so that’s more an emoluments issue and something to remind us of how he criticized Obama for spending a fraction as much time on the links, than a measurement of laziness.

this gives a good break down on how Obama made his money https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalex.../#d87e8cb5bf05
now if there was "other" deals in place, who knows.

There are plenty of legit reasons to slam Trump’s personal character, but his work ethic isn’t one of them. I also think it’s odd to say the 70 year old billionaire wanted to become president just to make a few million more dollars. Seems like he could’ve just rode out into the sunset and enjoy the last good decade(if he’s lucky) of his life, especially if he’s as selfish as lots of people claim.
