GREAT NEWS!!!!!

He won 2016. And you said not true now. And I wonder compared to what date as dmb said "running for office" which is ambiguous as to a specific date.

So you both could technically be correct depending how "running for office" is defined. That's all I am saying.
His net worth reportedly decreased during his first term, but that’s not the case this term. Junior and Eric are running the Trump business and they’re cashing in big time.

Ok. Interesting how you threw in the term "reportedly" in reference to his first term and left it out describing his second term. It's a back-handed way of discrediting the decline whe affirming rise. But you didn't link anything to prove one over the other.

Look, I don't give a crap on Trump's NW. But if you and dmb want to discuss, use the same start date and end date and link references. That is ALL I have been trying to say, again. My reply is nothing more than comparing equal time frames.

Both are reportedly, as in being reported. Dbm was clearly talking about the first term and ignoring the second. I don’t know why you seem to be confused.

Ok. I'll tap out. We are not on the same wavelength and I am just being clear or you aren't getting what I'm saying. Either way, let's move on. This is stupid and I am to blame. Catch you on another topic.

Trump is running a get rich(er) scheme. When you've lost Peggy Noonan.... You know it's obvious.



Our nation is in serious distress. Trump is the most obvious example of the Founder's fears

Your post deserved its own thread. Everyone should read Noonan’s piece, particularly MAGA.

So tired of the “but Biden” arguments. Hunter clearly cashed in on the family name but that’s nothing compared to what’s going on now. And Trump ran - - every time - - on “Vote for me because I’m already fabulously wealthy. I can’t be bought. I’m sacrificing so much additional wealth by serving as your president. My motives are purely altruistic and based solely on my eternal love for my country.” What a crock of shit. It is, was and always will be about personal enrichment for Trump. Power and money. Nothing else matters to him. Now he’s taking things to an unprecedented level and transitioning the country to an oligarchy if we’re not, in fact, already there.

We're more likely already a kleptocracy.

I have very little hope for this countries future.

How about the actual correct answer here…they’re all corrupt. And they’re all using their families connections and positions to profit. Does it matter any more? Is it worth caring about? Those are the actual questions.
It matters that their dealings are public. I don't disagree they're all corrupt, depending on your definition.
 
They weren't legitimate business deals. And the deals never would have materialized without daddy being president.
lmao You think if they weren't legitimate the Biden DoJ wouldn't have prosecuted them.

You've already proven you're not very smart. No need to continue to prove it.

He's so corrupt that his net worth has declined since running for office. You people don't have a clue how ridiculous you sound.
They do, they just think if they double down on stupid, they'll get others to believe it.
 
2024 election. I thought that was clear. Trump lost the 2020 election.
He also started a business that was worth billions as soon as it hit the market.

That's why his net worth has increased - not anything he's done since being elected in 2024.

No. Doesn’t include Truth Social. Do some research first.
 
His net worth doesn't include Truth Social?
You’re doing it and I’m not going along. There is reporting on a couple billion the Trump organization has made since his election and where it came from. Trump says it’s OK because Junior and Eric are running the business. You could look this up yourself and I’m not playing your million question game.

Doing what? Of course Trump's net worth includes Truth Social. Why would you say it doesn't? (that's not a question for you to answer - it's rhetorical)
 

I HATED him having to travel on our shitty plane. This is wonderful 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pure corruption! He should never take it. What did this idiot give to Qatar? This plane was not for free. Also, it will cost taxpayers $1B to survey every inch of this plane and bring to security level. Trump would love to charge the taxpayers on his own behalf.
 
Well Trump, after much careful consideration, has decided to go ahead and accept the plane!!!!!!! He will accept this gracious and very personal gift. I'm glad to see this all worked out and am looking forward to him posting pics

Looks like we are officially going to be accepting this "gift".

If sources are correct that it is going to be 700M to 1 billion in taxes to get it up and running, that pretty much kills any argument going forward about how Trump is trying to cut costs for this country.

You do know that federal spending has increased this year from last year, right?

...and that was before we just added another billion dollars for this "gift to the country" that will likely not be finished until Trump's term is up, at which point he is taking possession of it.

Congrats suckers! Donald just swindled you out of more of your money for his personal gain.

And before you give us a "whattabout Biden", remind yourselves of the scale of this. Even if all the rumors are true and the Bidens accepted 100 million dollars in bribes, this is costing us 10x that.

..and we're not even 6 months into this travesty yet.

It's not cute- it's the truth.
We've done deals with Kushner.

Him raising $1B or whatever from Saudi's for a RE Equity hedge fund is completely plausible without any Trump connection. Zeke's assertation that Kushner's business prowess is equal to Hunter's is a joke. She needs to keep her thoughtful commentary to reality shows.

From Wiki on his RE dealings alone:

Kushner was an active real estate investor during his college years, and increased the Kushner Companies' presence throughout the New York City real estate market.[24]

Kushner Companies purchased 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007 for $1.8 billion, the most expensive single property purchase in US history at the time.[25]
Kushner Companies purchased the office building at 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007, for a then-record price of $1.8 billion, most of it borrowed.[25] He assumed the role of CEO in 2008.[26] Following the property crash that year, the cash flow generated by the property was insufficient to cover its debt service, and the Kushners were forced to sell a controlling stake in the retail footage to The Carlyle Group and Stanley Chera[27] and bring in Vornado Realty Trust as a 50% equity partner in the ownership of the building.[28] By that time, Kushner Companies had lost more than $90 million on its investment.[29] He was the face of the deal but his father Charles Kushner pushed him to do the deal.[30]

In 2011, Kushner purchased a 130,000 square foot office tower at 200 Lafayette Street in Manhattan for $50 million, selling it two years later for $150 million.[31][32] In 2013, his company led a transaction to purchase the Jehovah's Witnesses headquarters in Brooklyn Heights for $375 million and invested $100 million into the site, transforming it into a sprawling office park, and signing online retailer Etsy to a 10-year lease.[33][34] The same year, Kushner co-founded WiredScore, a global organization that provides a digital connectivity certification rating the quality and resilience of digital infrastructure in buildings.[35]

Throughout 2013 to 2014, Kushner and his company acquired more than 11,000 units throughout New York, New Jersey, and the Baltimore area.[36] In August 2014, Kushner acquired a three-building apartment portfolio in Middle River, Maryland, for $38 million with Aion Partners, later selling the complex for $68 million.[37] In May 2015, he acquired a 50.1% stake of the Times Square Building from Africa Israel Investments Ltd. for $295 million.[38]

In May 2015, Kushner purchased a majority stake of One Times Square for $295 million.[38]
In 2014, Kushner, with his brother Joshua and Ryan Williams, co-founded Cadre (now RealCadre LLC), an online real-estate investment platform. His business partners included Goldman Sachs and billionaire George Soros, a top Democratic Party donor.[39][40][41] In early 2015, Soros Fund Management financed the startup with a $250 million credit line.[39][42] Kushner did not identify these business relationships in his January 2017 government financial-disclosure form.[39][43] He did, however, disclose his ownership of BFPS Ventures, the company that housed his stake in Cadre.[39][44] In 2020, his ownership stake in Cadre was estimated at $25–50 million.

Claiming it will be transferred to his "library foundation" is the hilarious part. Anyone who thinks it won't become his own private personal jet is living in dream land.

It's really been weighing on him, as it would on any man who is so conscientious. I'm glad he can put this decision behind him and get to MAGA!
 
Well, his home/ golf course and a couple of his speaking events needed Seal teams to actually keep the dem's from shooting to kill him, so the jet escort seems legit. The left has openly said, AT ANY COST!
 
Are you saying it's illegal? You're concerned about Presidential offspring profiting after Hunter was raking in millions for selling influence and Biden lying about knowing his business partners? That's f'king hilarious!

I hope the Trump kids continue to make business deals and get insanely wealthy and drive you up a wall.
Everything you’ve said is exactly opposite of what I feel. People like you were apoplectic over Hunter Biden doing whatever he did or didn’t do for 4+ years but on January 21 of this year you didn’t care about the possibility of improper payments or benefits people connected to the president might receive.

I always maintained that Hunter Biden should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if he was ever convicted of anything. I really didn’t give much thought to him beyond that.

For what it’s worth, the Trump kids don’t really bother me either. I doubt they’re entirely above board, but regardless of whether they are or not it’s not going to change my life.

Much ado about nothing...

It's my understanding the plane is already in country.

The Air Force will tear that thing down to the rivets and make certain it's both secure and functional...

My take is that this move is intended to be a slap in the face to Boeing who's failed to fufill their contract to provide a new Air Force One over two administrations...

Maybe Boeing can get their shit together and do their damn job Before the Q plane is put out into service... Wouldn't That be a nice change of pace for that outfit...
