I remember they had 1.8 million when entering the White House. At the end of the 1st term, they were worth 8 million. Now it’s 100 mill? How does this happen?

Could be hard work and clean living.












Ok, it's corruption.

Maybe corruption.  More likely just cashing in on the name of the president.  Sort of like the Clintons getting hundreds of thousands for a speaking engagement.  It could be corruption or just selling influence.  Hard to tell sometimes and the line becomes hazy.

If the line seems hazy. It’s corruption. Someone famous once said you don’t get rich in public services unless you’re a thief.

Hypocrisy shining through the blah blah blah.

There are a lot of things that have been said by "someone" famous.  Some are true.  Some are simply words.

I don't approve of leftists whose assumptions are fueled by hatred rather than logic.  I don't approve of rightists who do the same thing.  You and I will never be elected to high office so we'll not have to deal with being highly paid for our names and influence.

"Never say never" (I don't know if the author was famous) "Keep hope alive" (I think more infamous)

I was close. Essentially the same meaning.

there are many versions since it's not exactly what he wrote, but it was him.

A number of memes and blogs claimed United States President Harry S. Truman said “you can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook.” That quote appeared to be — at best — a paraphrase of a 1954 diary entry, in which Truman wrote that an “honest public servant can’t become rich in politics.” As additional context, Truman wrote those words 65 years before they appeared on Facebook in late 2018, in a political landscape far different than the one in which the quote attained newfound popularity.

I only read a portion of her talk.  found it interesting that she mentioned that these poor folks were out there "picking corn" for us.   Man is she out of date, machinal corn pickers have been used since I was knee high to my old man, and that was 7 decades ago.  Yeah there are some crops that need to be hand picked but most are done by machinery.  

I agree with what was said above, sell your big homes and give the money to food banks and shelters to help in wealth distribution, but their idea is do as I say not as I do.

I'm curious to find out just how much of their wealth they have redistributed over the years and to whom or what it was redistributed to.

They just bought a summer vacation cottage on one of the east coast islands [ Martha's Vineyard maybe] for I believe 7 million.  Must be they are not too concerned about sea level rise after-al.

Once a con man,,,,,,

They might have bought a house in Rancho Mirage CA as well.


I wonder how many poor homeless they are sheltering in their various homes. Hypocrites as usual.

That makes them even more of hypocrites to me.

I have friends that still think he was the best president we have ever had and ever will have. They just adore his wife too.

Typical Lib sentiment, redistribute everyones wealth, except mine.
