Didn’t Trump draw a Dollar as salary? That would be skinflint indeed, if that is how much he gave to said charity…
But it misses the point:
By not scrounging as much money out of that Government office as humany possible - Trump has set a new standard that a politician should be SELF Funded rather than be paid for by the public ■■■■■…
In this country - wouldn’t we think it nice and appropriate for billionaire Sunak to waive his own PM salary, and encourage other “Millionaire” members of the house ALL parties - to do likewise hmm?
Trump’s popularity among the Maga Population - is more about how much of their money he didn’t waste, how many of their service personnel he didn’t send to their deaths in new foreign wars, and how much of their taxes he didn’t waste on his own expenses…
It is a breath of fresh air, compared to the usual political class behaviour where incumbents simply line their pockets, disappear until the next election, face no pressure whatseover from a friendly media in behaving thus, and expect to sign away (via inflation) the public’s assets with impunity once the borrowed magic money tree withers and dies on the vine…
Western Policy to make pariahs out of the more autocratic states on this planet - has backfired enough now, that we all stand to be worse off than at any time since the 1930’s. THIS time though? - We cannot have another World War to “Get us out of it”…
We’re supposed to think that China are behind Covid, when in fact as Covid was a HOAX - all the West has done, is bear false witness against China, which they’ve since retaliated with by turning off the 1% interest taps for the forseeable future…
We’re supposed to think that Putin is 100% to blame for “Ukraine”, when in fact the UN being able to be Vetoed - is to blame for a “Peaceful” solution “not being found” to the Biolabs prescence in SouthWestern Ukraine (Multiple International Treaty Violations there…) forced Putin’s hand, and permitted Ukraine to be nothing but a Money Laundering outfit channeling that money back to politicans on-the-take-worldwide.
Are there any “Clean” politicians left? Those who simply WON’T take the bribes and the “Offers that cannot be refused”?
Boris Johnson going to Ukraine - scrubbed me off his “vote for” list, that’s for sure, plus all the other Tories that have been over to this place “not in ukraine” for “their cut” as well…
I say “not in ukraine” as do you really think any Western Leader would land in a war zone under air attack?
EIther the “Air Attack” wasn’t real - or the place the western leaders were visiting - wasn’t Kiev!
