What do you expect from a habitual criminal and Thief in Chief??

[drewmcgrath]

The instant I heard he was not allowed to earn money from businesses while pres...I knew it was a grift in the winds.

[TooBadThatDidntKillMe]

At least the bedbugs come free of charge.

[craigsavarese]

I want to see a thorough report on the amount of grift he pocketed from his requiring military flights and personnel to stop over at his resort in Scotland and increased taxpayer costs to use a non military airport / fuel supply. I believe in the years before 2016 it was a property that consistently lost millions but miraculously turned it around once he got into office.

[ajayarya]

Trump will be known as the all time best grifter... he grifted his way to the presidency.

[catrashoo]

I laughed out loud when I heard that he was going to work for free and said to myself there's no a freaking way 😂

[vcatta]

Don’t know why this surprises anyone. That’s why he wasn’t taking a salary, he was making a lot more through the grift that continues today!!

[stockholm]

The GOP thinks raising issues like taxes and the price of gas is going to save them. These are age old, everyday problems. 🙄 There is *so much more* at stake.

[harumih.]

When they lied, their mouths were moving similarly... Wonder if it is because of family blood or because if liars' blood...

[jerryjerry]

sorta when they give you milage money for you to use your own car for work, and you charge a million miles the first day.

[Mister]

When he said he wouldn't take his Presidential salary, I said "of course he won't. He doesn't need it since he's gouging the US taxpayer for millions by forcing the Secret Service to pay to stay at his resorts and hotel when he's there EVERY weekend instead of going to Camp David and playing golf on government-owned military golf courses"

[FlyingFox]

I seem to recall this being first reported a few years ago now.

[christopherthomas]

Lets not forget that Trump and Kushner associated businesses were receiving PPP loans during 2020....because they absolutely needed them I'm sure....Jarod probably didn't notice though because he was busy working on his father's pardon that year (his own words).

[corkyvanderhaven]

Gotta make up for that “donated” salary. I mean come on

[carlriley]

It took congress two years after Trump left office to figure this out. Our government is broken.

[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Trump embodies, and is emblematic, of all our collective cultural flaws. Every issue we failed to rectify over the generations has come home to roost in the form of the orange chicken.

[katekelly]

it's disgusting they're allowed to get away with this. hustlers and shysters. obvious.

[o.b.]

*"Also on the ballot - though not explicitly mentioned: the future of American Democracy"*
People should be aware of that - if they aren't already _(and I fear, lots aren't)._

[rdbeckett]

Horrible I am not Jewish but highly offended

[bigmack]

We all kno he is a crook, so what did these people expect, his companys overcharge the goverment and everyone else they could, this is what grifters do
