Oh Radiance,

You posted 11 points. Every one of them are only false hoods punched out by right wing blogs.. Plain old lies or huge exaggerations..

As for Trump and his $1 in salary. It would have been much more inspiring and useful if he had done as some other Presidents have done and give his full salary to some charity s...


That's not exactly true. It depends on the message being sent. President Trump ran on the issue of the economy and US debt. By taking a low salary, he was stating that he would fight the debt we're placing on our future generations as well as showing his intent to be a servant of the public. I find this a very honorable thing. Why is doing a good thing never good enough for you?

Sorry, bud. You're wrong on that! He divested. Hillary was definitely corrupt and now that the election is over, it's incredibly obvious! The Clinton Foundation is corrupt to the core.

Can you try to.be coherent? I know you are trying to make a point but you make no sense.

What do you mean by saying,

"Trump already wasn't 35 million in one month alone that not counting nothing else".

I have no.idea what that means.

Slow down so I can understand what.you are saying. Take your time.


He's referring to the $35 million it cost to have security cover him and his family. The problem with Chris' info is he got it off Mainstream News which makes mountains off of ant hills!

Hatred of what? Which lies? I'm not saying I disagree with you though, if you're referring to promises he hasn't fulfilled or broken, that's every single president we've had for the past 50 years. What you're saying is simply too vague for me to agree or disagree with you. For all I know, you're saying Trump ran on nothing but hatred of evil and Democratic lies. You have to be more specific

Trump donates 2019 salary to USDA, surgeon general
By Sophie Austin on Monday, August 19th, 2019 at 3:29 p.m.

President Donald Trump continues to maintain his campaign promise to donate his $400,000 annual White House salary with U.S. government agencies.

In August, a White House spokesman announced that Trump donated $100,000, his second-quarter salary, to the U.S. Surgeon General's office.

"I donate 100% of my President's salary, $400,000, back to our Country, and feel very good about it!" Trump tweeted Aug. 16.

His first-quarter salary in 2019 went to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Trump donated his third quarter salary for 2018 to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Trump's older brother Fred Jr. died after struggling from alcoholism in 1981.

The president donated his 2018 fourth quarter salary to the Department of Homeland Security and has donated to various federal entities during his time in office, including the National Park Service, the Department of Education and the Veterans Administration.

This pledge remains Promise Kept.

The elites and the media can play Americans like a fiddle.

The press can distract Americans with irrelevant stories about bread and circuses, music, sports, movies, Cosby, or Cecil the Lion.

The ruling class can exaggerate and use fear-mongering and brainwashing to scare Americans to fear Russia or Ebola.

Globalists can ignore or underreport important news about war, debt, or tyranny.

The news can distract and divide Americans with stories about immigration, homosexuals, or abortion.

Reporters can outright lie or slander or discredit or ridicule or slant or twist biased facts or use anonymous sources, rumors, polls, scientific studies, or experts to manipulate Americans to agree to anything.

Where do you get your info? This is entirely untrue!

From Wikipedia: In June 2016, in response to criticism, Trump asserted publicly that he had given approximately $102 million to charitable causes from 2009 through 2015[44] and released a 93-page list of the beneficiaries of the money.[45] Subsequent reporting by the Post and other news organizations found that many of the donations Trump claimed as having made personally over these five years were made by the Trump Foundation, which by 2009, no longer held any money donated by Trump.

- So, from 2009-2016, the Trump Foundation donated $102 million to charitable causes. Your other statement about proper divestment is ignorant, at best, disingenuous, at worst. Trump tried to divest himself from the Trump foundation but was prevented from doing so by the New York Attorney General who happens to be a Democrat.

Trump Lied! He Is Taking A Presidential Salary
by Adam Campbell

When billionaire Trump ran for the president of the United States, he said he wouldn’t take a salary, but he lied.

Donald Trump isn’t taking the full salary of $400,000 offered to the president each year, but instead he is being paid a single dollar per year.

He is taking a salary, but not really.

Federal law says that Trump must be paid as president so he has to be paid a dollar a year.

Trump made the announcement during his interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday.

Trump hasn’t even started, but he has already found a way to cut $1,599,996 from the budget over the next four years. That is a good start.

This is a very symbolic move and sets a great tone for his transition team. It says that Trump is here for business and not to make money.

Hopefully other presidents will continue to only take a dollar. It will be hard for future presidents to say they would like a salary after Trump refused it. This might be an ongoing thing.

The move is also a symbolic move to the rest of Washington. He is telling them, they are not here to make money either. He is saying that they are all in Washington for the American people.

It was a bold move, and it could be a good sign of what’s to come.

Meanwhile how many foreign diplomats and business people have forked over $200k to join Mar A Lago for the face time, the Saudi's booked a whole floor of a struggling hotel for an extended time, they weren't even using the rooms. Kushner got hundreds of millions in loans from Qatar when nobody else would make a loan because the project was a horrible investment. This presidential salary is chump change considering what Trump is making back.

He did not contribute anything to his foundation, he "gave away" people's money who had contributed to it. And it remains to be seen what charges come from his personal misuse of foundation funds, it's pending.

He also claimed he would give the profits from foreign money coming into trump properties, but that went out the window because it was too complicated to figure profit versus gross receipts, and it could be anything he says it is anyway.

I admire and respect president Trump for donating his services free to the people of this country. Fact of the matter is, he does not really have to work. He has everything to enjoy his life. But witnessing that our country was going down the drain, after Obama's treacherous destruction, he run for president and he won. The opposite party, the socialist DEMS want to take away his victory using all the federal powerful agencies as the weapon against him. DEMS did not succeed. The Deep State hoax were all fabricated lies as means to removing the president therefore disenfranchise the 65 million who voted for the president, and violate the XV Amendment of their right to vote. The socialist DEMS are fraud and crooks.

The president has proven his several accomplishments just over 2.5 years. He is the best president we ever have. He restored our country, financially, our national security, and preserves our faith in God. United States is again the number one country in the world in all these matters. He is the first president to confront the abuses of China, and now, he is fixing it. Our country leads, and as long as president Trump is our president, we will prevail.

The socialist DEMS in Congress continue to pull him down, so he could not do his jobs serving us. But this brave and brilliant president stands firm and continue doing the great works for our country and for all Americans.

May God bless him. He will continue and win the 2020 presidential re-election. May God bless the GOP and take over Congress in 2020 so that they will be able to work together in faith and prosperity for our country and continue moving forward.

The socialist-DEMS are traitors. They are paid so much with our money by destroying our country for their own evil desires of taking power illegally. They have no morals.
