Aren’t You Just Dying to Help Trump
Pay His Legal Fees for Countless Missdeads
Let me be honest, if memory serves me correctly, when Trump ran for president in 2016 he said he was wealthy enough to finance his campaign and not need money from donors. Oh, there it is, “I don’t need anybody’s money,” he said as he announced his candidacy in June. “I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich.” [Source] We have since learned Donald’s relationship with money has many side stories.
For one thing, Donald is not as fond of paying workers as he is receiving money. He has an extensive record of stiffing workers on his projects. He has also as president found many ways to make being President a profitable venture.
DONALD TRUMP CHARGED the Secret Service as much as five times the typical government rate to stay at his properties, records obtained by the House Oversight Committee reveal. The development is only the latest example of the former president using the office to enrich himself.
There was the deal with the old post office near the capital that he leased from the government to run as a high-class hotel and charged visiting dignitaries hamsonly to stay there. There is Trump property leased for specific official events in which he raked in bucks. He made money off his inauguration ceremony and still an enormous amount of the funds have never been accounted for.
