NOTE: We remember during the 2016 campaign and during the Trump transition, how Mr. Trump spoke of how the businesses were being turned over to his sons to run and that he wouldn’t know what was happening there. Sounds like that’s not happening, doesn’t it? Anyone surprised?
Trump seems to think being president should work just like investing in real estate.
Trump described the office of the presidency itself like a real estate deal, calling it a “loser” because he claims he has been unable to make money from his position.
“I lost massive amounts of money doing this job,” Trump whined to the New York Times in a Thursday interview. “This is not the money. This is one of the great losers of all time. You know, fortunately, I don’t need money. This is one of the great losers of all time. But they’ll say that somebody from some country stayed at a hotel. And I’ll say, ‘Yeah.’ But I lose, I mean, the numbers are incredible.”
Trump’s comments aren’t just distasteful; they’re also false. He squeezes money out of the Oval Office and into his own pockets on a regular basis.
