The Derangement is Real.

So when did Trump release his tax returns so we can verify this? And why are you jealous of the Obama and Clinton successes? Are you a socialist?

And who thinks Trump is trying to steal his or her money?

You're right - the Derangement is real. The person who made that meme is deranged.
 
The thought of Trump being paid to speak is absurd. He is not an orator.
 
I can spot the crook. It's the one on the left. This game is easy.

I've seen this meme and it's really pathetic.

Let's take Trump for starters. Where did you get his net worth figures? On what basis does anyone believe it's gone DOWN by 33% since he took office, what with the expanding global economy, stock markets, etc?

And Trump has a history of blatantly lying about his net worth. Under oath, he said it's what he says it is, and in a lawsuit didn't even attempt to tie it to anything like appraisals - just what Trump thought it was that day, which might be different tomorrow. This is what he testified to under oath - his net worth was what his gut told him.

So there's no basis for Trump's net worth. It's a made up figure, fabricated from thin air from what I can see.

Other than that, excellent point.

Look at it this way. Let's assume the meme is accurate. Every politician on the planet increases their wealth while in office, but not Trump. Shows what a ****ing loser he is.

Yeah, w wants to be a billionaire POTUS with supermodel wife when you can have anonymous forum guy success.
 
Yep, I believe that's why he's having a hissy fit about his tax returns. He doesn't want everybody to see how his tremendous wealth is all in his wittle head. (Talk your way out of THIS one, Orange man.) :)

He might be the most unhappy and least pleasant person I have ever seen.

You seem to be applying ideas that I did not reference.

Trump had the cash before the office.

The other two had the cash only AFTER the office.

Truman was an honest politician who was starving after he left office. His successors learned the lesson and how to cash in.

Out of curiosity, why comment only on Trump? There were two others pictured.

I focused on Trump because the made up, fabricated, dishonest assertion that his net worth has dropped by 1/3 while in office is central to the lie of the meme. What is Trump's net worth didn't by down by $1.5 billion but went up by that much? That is FAR more likely to be the direction.

Furthermore, if you want to see how/why Obama or the Clinton's net worth went up, that's easy because while in office and for years before, we can go online right now and see all their tax returns. For Hillary, a couple decades worth running through 2016. Same thing with Obama. So they've been TRANSPARENT about how they made money. I've criticized Hillary for cashing in on the speaking tour about 1,000 times on here, so you know my feelings about it, but at least she was transparent about how she and bill cashed in - the information is in the tax returns.

Trump, as you know, has released 0 tax returns, before or during office.
