Trump does not care about you

[LostMarbels]

$340,000,000 of taxpayer money on his golfing when he'd promised while campaigning that if he won he wouldn't play golf.

$34,000,000 is 0.0096% of 3,520,000,000,000 ($3.5 trillion, the federal tax revenue of America). He has almost use a penny in relative terms. One would also have to consider the net surplus of $68,000,000,000 ($68 billion) in income from tariffs. Trump has used only 0.5% of that income that is derived from other individuals than the american taxpayer.

This is such an insignificant amount of money to the American economy, its effect would not be felt as a surplus, nor a deficit. This is no more than pocket change, and some lint.

 

[LostMarbels]

No, of taxpayers money. Said money goes straight into his pockets since he never divested himself of his business interests when he became president.

And?

Do you suppose we force presidents to go completely broke for 4 years in office? President Trump's resorts are not his political office. It is his industry he has been involved in before even getting elected. Welcome to capitalism my friend.

If Trump uses the office of his presidency for personal gain let me know.

There is more:
13 The angel of the Lord answered, “Your wife must do all that I have told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.”

It seems to be a ritual thing. Avoiding grapes. I'm sure fetal alcohol syndrome was an easy observation for people to make.

I'm not so sure. One of the difficulties is that some babies are perfectly normal even if the mother is a drinker. So making the connection is not so straightforward.

That wouldn't negate the problem kids.

Ever heard of the emoluments clause my friend? Jimmy Carter put a small peanut farm is a trust to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Trump is laughing at all the taxpayer dollars flowing into his coffers. $140 million in golfing trips in just 3 years. From someone who stated he wouldn't have time to golf and who routinely criticized Obama for going golfing.

If Trump uses the office of his presidency for personal gain let me know.

Every time Trump goes to Mar-A-Lago the taxpayers put money in his pocket outside of his Presidential salary. That is the very definition of using the presidency for his personal gain. Don't you remember when he suggested using Trump Doral as the meeting site for the next G7 conference? Someone actually got through to him how bad that might look and he backed off the idea.

While toxic chemicals are a real issue, there is a worse problem that women can control completely. It is foetal alcohol syndrome. When the angel announced to Mary that she was to bear the Lord Jesus, he warned her not to allow a drop of alcohol into her system. If women were to follow that advice, there would be a lot fewer disabled children. I know a woman whose child has cerebral palsy and is severely disabled. She blames God. Of course. Who wants to take responsibility for their own behaviour these days?

Typical response: change the subject when you cannot rationally defend Trump's actions

 

[Robin Mauro]

On the face of it, I decided to look up who exactly is making the article you linked to so I could validate it's veracity.

'Journalism' is the production and distribution of reports on events. 'Storytelling' describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Please note, nowhere in their description do they claim to be reporting. It's a legal thing. They call it storytelling, and their articles are called stories. That way if they get called out, they can say they told everyone they were telling stories, not reporting. Play on words here.

Really? Where, because I don't see them .

Interesting to see they claim to have been nominated for Pulitzers. When their parent company is an ad agency:

[Robin Mauro]

Neither do the democratic candidates.

Are you capable of addressing the subject at hand, or only blame shifting?

 

[Robin Mauro]

Here we go... get out the popcorn.. .Anti Trump.. but lets not talk about Bernie's socialist agenda.. or Biden's blackmail of the Ukraine.... and his son doing absolutely nothing for millions of dollars a month in a job he knows nothing about...

"Trump hate" is an awful condition.

So, just make a random statement.. and then what?

That is just not a fair assumption to make without substantiation.

 

[LostMarbels]

Ever heard of the emoluments clause my friend?

Yes, and that was attempted to be brought against Trump for years now. He has done nothing wrong.

 

[Robin Mauro]

They did not receive the love of the truth!

...you mean like this:

he has 111 pants on fire's and 269 falses's.

Are you speaking of the truth? Or whatsoever you believe as truth? I definitely do hope you are not conflating the Truth of the Lord, with what you subjectively define as truth concerning politics.

To put it bluntly, I am not at odds with the truth of Christ, just because I believe something you do not approve of concerning politics.

 

[LostMarbels]

you mean like this:

No, not at all. An individual that has committed as many atrocities as is claimed about Trump, would have at some point been caught in something concerning 4 years of none stop investigation, suspicion, and derogatory news coverage.

Trump has never been charged for anything.

No collusion was found.

No legalities concerning emoluments have been found.

He has already been sued over all of these topics multiple times over his administration. Never once, has any court found any crimes, illegalities, or incorrect actions. It seem, people just want something to talk about.

 

[tulc]

Well...

In truth, he's done LOTS wrong, he just hasn't been brought up on charges for those ones, yet. Probably won't be either until he's finally out of office.

The truth is the truth is the truth, whether it be about God or politics. And they actually cannot be separated. To love your neighbor as yourself you must care if they are being poisoned

(snip) Trump has never been charged for anything. (snip)

uhmmm...still a little unclear on what impeached means huh? That his supporters in the Senate refused to convict doesn't change the fact he was impeached. That means he was charged.
tulc(just not convicted)

Then it is all talk and nothing more.

If Trump is so detrimental to society he was impeached.... I find it odd that people would sit on these supposed illegalities to remove him from office. I mean the sky is literally falling with every action this man takes.

Simple, there is nothing there, except trying to get into the people's conscience Trump is guilty of something. Even if we can't prove it just yet.

So why are you telling me that?
