Yeah. I just stopped talking about it in his first term.
The ‘I’m not taking a salary’ was such a great marketing move on his part, because as a thought-terminating cliche’ it became the default response any time one would specify the extent to which he was making the Federal Government buy from his businesses at an insane markup.
My favorites were when he sold the Resolute Desk for ad space to Goya and when he made Mike Pence and his detail and handlers travel 100 miles out of the way in order to stay at his hotel in the UK.
To the point of the title post though, it’s true. Democrats are in on the grift too, as we saw with COVID when we learned both parties were exploiting classified info for stock trades, which has now become even easier with the advent of prediction markets. They all sell favors “speeches” for exorbitant amounts of money. They all make sure insider trading for them stays legal and pocket your contributions legally by loaning their campaigns money at 20% interest.
They’re all motherfuckers, though I’m enjoying Mamdani’s departure from SOP and hope that Platner will do the same if elected.
