I have never liked this argument. Trump and his family have profited tremendously off of his presidency and his family will reap the financial benefits for years to come.


His net worth is lower now..

So? You can still profit on one venture and lose money on another.

'President for profit' is about as bad a theory as Obama being a kenyan muslim.
There's no scenario in which Trump becoming president is in his financial best interests. People at least could have argued it was in his interests to run for president for a 2nd time, to build up his brand. But actually becoming president is like putting his money in a swimming pool and lighting it on fire

Are you intentionally missing the point or are you really this dumb?

um.. look at how much Ivanka and Kushner have changed their net worth since being in office. Its not just them its ALL politicians senators triple their net worth etc.
It's all a money game. For tRump to pretend that he went into office on some "charity act from jesus" is fucking ridiculous.. But you have ghot & enldless that buy the complete bs story.
along with millions of other cult followers, its like if billy graham was pres. All his cult would do everything he says.

Nobody becomes president for charity. The insinuation however that Trump became president specifically to increase his net worth is ridiculous. You would have to be a stupendously dumb person to believe that.

No there is not any statement that say "he's running for charity" but people thinking its some big sacrifice for him. During his entire campaign of "i won't even take a salary" is pennies to people with money and so many of his supporters look at that as a good faith move and showing charity and giving to the US.. its laughable.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner made up to $135 million while working for free. Unpaid presidential advisers Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner earned between $82 million and $135.1 million last year in outside income, newly released financial disclosures reveal.

Trump reported a yearly income of $362 million for 2014 and $611 million from January 2015 to May 2016. Trump and his family reported more than $500 million of income in mid-2018 financial disclosure forms.

If you were actually meaning hes doing it to increase his wealth then that's pretty dumb.
