It doesn't actually mean that, and you're deliberately missing the point. It's akin to saying "see officer, I couldn't have robbed that bank, here's my bank statement." Even if he lost money overall, that doesn't mean he isn't enriching himself off of his office. According to Forbes, the biggest drop was due to his real estate holdings losing value, and at $600 million, it's likely to overwhelm any unearned gains from graft. Also, Forbes wouldn't even have had access to things like his bank accounts, which could tell a very different story.
Obama's wealth largely comes from his work as a writer. He's done well, and yes he gets paid for it. And both he and Clinton pull huge speaking fees, because people want to know what they have to say. You could loosely say that's connected to their political activities, but it's not directly the result of their performance of official duties, and there's nothing scandalous about it apart from your resentment.
And your image of Trump as some above-all-that-noise saint, uninterested in money is ludicrous. This is a man who ran a fake university to bilk poor people.
"I'd". It's missing the word "I'd". And no, I'm clearly not saying they don't have websites. But that's not what they're known for.
Of course. You consider him exempt from scrutiny, even the basic level of it that all others have subjected themselves to in recent decades.
Could you miss the point any more deliberately? None of that is the relevant question. We want to know where he got his money. His tax returns would give a huge indication of that.
No. But his corruption does.
I won't be supporting Oprah regardless, unless she wins the primary, but I have no problem supporting a rich candidate, as long as they come by their wealth honestly.
That's because that's all you're looking for. Your deliberate blindness not my problem.
Let's look at what you say. You say it is the lack of being able to access Trump's bank accounts that throws suspicion on the estimates of Trump's wealth. Are you serious? Who has access to the Obama bank accounts, or the Clinton bank accounts? Who has direct access to anyone else's bank account? And to you that breeds suspicion....
You also keep on claiming corruption being a source of Trump's wealth. Where is the evidence? If it was true the IRS would have busted him years ago. Or is it your determination that it's corruption on the part of a business owner to conduct his business in accordance with the laws that politicians create? In that case then every left wing businessman in existence is corrupt too. Your definitions are completely arbitrary in how you define them and who you apply them to.
Obama's and the Clinton's money making is only "loosely" related to their political activities? Are you serious? Who would have ever heard of them if not for their years in politics and their political power? Bill Clinton gets $500,000 for a 20 minute speech to a bank involved in Uranium One and there's nothing suspicious to you at all. Trump runs his business according to US law and that is suspicious and corrupt. LOL.
And what does the fact that Forbes and WAPO aren't, at least in your eyes, known for their internet presence have to do with anything? That's a major non sequitor. It's completely irrelevant to the topic. That's why I asked you to explain your typo. I wanted to see just exactly what you meant. And what you meant actually means nothing at all.
As to party politics, well, that's mainly what Republicans play too. They are just as bad as the Democrats. I'm sick of party politics. They are killing our nation and our form of government. We were told this at the beginning of this nation. And hardly anyone has listened yet even though the evidence is right out in the open and is accumulating every day. And because I point out the behavior of your side of the political sickness I'm willfully blind. LOL. No, it's you that's willfully blind. I'm seeing it on all sides. I'm the one who has my eyes open to what is going on.
Trump isn't playing the party politics game and that is why the established politicians in both parties oppose him. That's why the mockingbird media opposes him and slanders him at every turn. He's the first rogue presidential officeholder we've had in way more than a century. And I like him because of it. He isn't being controlled by his minders. I say, Yippee, to that. You see that as terrible. You see anything outside the status quo as something terrible. You ought to be rejoicing that we have someone in office who is rogue and cannot be subverted by the corruption in D.C and the mockingbird media.
BTW, did you know that David Cameron says Obama is a complete narcissist? It's true. Do a search for it.
