I asked a lib friend the same.

His response "it's from the books he wrote and speaking engagements".

I think one of the reasons that Trump was elected was because he does not need to make his empire  through lobbyists and special interest groups while screwing the American taxpayer.

We have tried putting modest people (by wealthy people standards) into the office and we have all seen how that worked. Hopefully putting a wealthy man in there will be the answer. Time will tell!

When a politician gets rich while in office they are corrupt..no exceptions.  None..  We live in a world where corruption is so common we don't even bat an eye at it anymore....unless it's a low level flunkie, then we freak out and lock them under the jail for life.  If you have power the world is your oyster and you can cheat and steal as much as you like.

The reports I've read put his wealth at 10-12 million. He has made 10 million off his 3 books. I thought conservatives were for Free Enterprise ? Or is that only in the case of someone filing bankruptcy and screwing the subcontractors ?

maybe i misjudged half the population but i doubt it. Seems to me the half i seem to misjudge, misjudged the other half over the election. and now all they all want to do is wine and cry, protest, and cry some more.

There have been misjudgments by both sides. But to categorize all as whining, crying protesters is mistaken. (No wine involved)

he and her will continue to do speeches for $$$$$ and push the UN globalist agenda.

read/listen to his speech yesterday, everything he said he will do the complete opposite. He is a muslim and they believe in world domination over all none muslims.

We do have one example of having more money after being in office, Hillary and the Clinton slush fund, oh sorry the Clinton Foundation.

Remember that Clinton herself said that there were no secret emails, that she never had a personal server and she always did good from the foundation. What is said and what was truth was so far off.

I think that the POUSA should not be about to keep money made from books written while being in office or speaking engagements that money should go into the US treasury.  The POUSA is a paid position.

I have no problem with anyone in any position making money from their side work. If I write a book and it actually sells, should I have to give the money to my employer? (assuming I don't write the book as one of the duties of my job)

If someone is a mechanic by trade and works on folks bikes in their off time, should they have to give any income from that to their employer?

I'm all for draining the swamp, but let's not get carried away...

I wasn't implying ANYTHING.

I was simply pointing out that the bulk of their money is projected to come from honorariums from making speeches instead of royalties from books.

Which is what the article from the link stated.
