>President Donald Trump and his family have made a staggering $3.4 billion off the presidency
I-I'm h-happy for you, Mr. President...

>>82205716 (OP)
I wish my president made all these money, but unfortunately he's poor

>>82205716 (OP)
Not to be that guy but no shit, he ran on running the country as a corporation, the boss gets the bigger cut, can't really act surprised.
Hope he remembers that holidays bonuses are a thing.

>>82205716 (OP)
How much did Bidens cut end up being?

>Unironic fox news posting outside of pol
I love what the zoomers have done to this board, truly fascinating stuff.

>>82205792
Your bonus is being you replaced by an h1b. Don't forget to tip.

Can anyone in this thread name a direct, quantifiable benefit to their lives as a result of trump's actions as president? Owning the libs and deporting Jose doesn't count.

My dad is a rich fag and I'm a neet so technically because my dad is doing better my future inheritance does too?

>>82205836
white women are now safe from immigrants and can fuck Tyrone without feeling unsafe

>>82205856
How is your dad doing better?

>>82205794
Probably a few million. Peanuts compared to Trump. But for all this talk of liberals controlling Hollywood and the mainstream media, everyone seems to parrot Republican talking points all the time, it's weird.

>>82205873
Let's just say that the people on the know always know to go all in on orange

>>82205890
So you have no idea and there has been no quantifiable benefit. Gotcha

>>82205812
Fox News is as biased as the Washington Post or New York Times.

>>82205836
Well I am benefitting from the changes which remove taxes on tips and taxes on overtime

>>82205716 (OP)
Stop bitching, commie. Hard work and innovation deserve to be rewarded. You could have made money off his success to if you just bought Trumpcoin.

>>82205905
I'm inclined to believe him, the rich tend to get richer either way and Republican tax cuts accelerate the process. Plus he probably means that his dad speculated on the sudden stockmarket changes brought on by the tarrifs. A lot of rich people made a ton of money like that, especially those around Trump or in congress. And now they're REEEEing when they get called out on it.

>>82206041
Those exemptions are slated to end in 2028, it's a carrot on a stick to keep stupid poor people happy for a bit. what will not end will be the increased cost of living you will experience as a direct result of trump's tariffs

>>82206045
It's not even about the crypto rugpulls, although that's part of it. It's the fact that a ton of foreigners are rushing in to bribe the Trumps, they're getting rich Arabs to invest billions and negotiating Trump Towers and stuff all over the world using tariffs as leverage. I don't know how it could get any more dystopian.

>>82206083
What is the point of taxing rich people? Is it to make money or punish the rich?
If it's to raise revenue you should look at Arthur Laffer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve
Cutting taxes can result in revenue rising, giving the government more money to work with

>>82205873
Nta, but my parent's stock portfolios are doing great under orange man. I don't know if I will get inheritance tho. I'm semi NEET new grad

>>82206157
Your parents' stock portfolios did even better under sleepy joe

>>82206016
Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. The other 2 you mentioned are owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Both those guys kiss Trump's ass all the time. Fox News was founded after watergate so no Republican president would have to resign in disgrace again. It worked so well, you guys are worshipping a pedophile now

>>82206151
The only thing that trickles down is the piss in your face

>>82206189
They, did. But they'll likely benefit from whichever tax cuts richfags get

Whenever republican tax bills are slated to expire you have figures like Ted Cruz reaching out across the aisle to make middle class tax cuts permanents. Bernie Sanders or AoC don't want to work with him to make those tax cuts permanent "for some reason"

>>82206191
Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain are friends. WW2 was a hoax. The pictures prove it.

>>82205792
that's actually the exact opposite what a president should be doing idiot. they're supposed to serve the people not his own self interest. that's like the unspoken rule that every president

its fucking ridiculous how you just grovel and suck on the turds this guy shits because he's racist like you.

>>82206226
Would you want to work with Ted Cruz?

>>82206205
What does that have to do with the Laffer curve and taxes on income?

>>82206244
>Everyone's as stupid as me if I keep arguing in bad faith
You're a coward and blindly loyal to a pedophile

>>82206151
It's been critcized by countless economists and even tested to catastrophic results in Kansas from what I remember. It's not that there's no truth to it, but it's way overstated. Either way, there are efforts at a global corporate tax rate coming from the EU, but from what I've heard the Trump administration wants to block it.

Just to put it in a broader context, I don't think the system as it is set up will last much longer regardless, unless there's some AI AGI breakthrough that completely transforms labor. Demographics being one significant reason. Of course what comes next could be much worse.

>>82206249
How was the public served by Biden sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine?

>>82206266
Why would 2 besties go to war? It doesn't make sense. Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler would never go to war

>>82206287
One, they weren't being sent barrels full of money like you describe it
Two, the main thing America america makes is bombs and ammo. Sending more there creates more jobs because they need more people to make more.

>>82206287
You could ask that about every foreign policy decision ever, it still wouldn't justify personal corruption.

>>82206226
Because the cuts proposed by republicans are largely regressive taxes that disproportionately benefit the most wealthy people while providing no avenue of revenue to offset the costs, meaning the government just gets less money at the expense of making the rich happy and so the government has less money to spend on social programs that actually help people. If republicans offered legislation that would maintain middle class tax cuts using gains made from increasing taxes on the rich, Bernie would be all for it. I advise you to actually research this stuff with an open mind instead of getting your info from grifting right wingers on Elon's echo chamber website, there you will only get half truths intended to mislead you.

>>82206296
>I lie to myself, so that means everyone shares the same fabricated reality built entirely on bad faith
Fucking grow up. Jesus, dude

>>82205792
Didn't you faggots piss your panties when Biden made a few million. Meanwhile Trump has literally swindled BILLIONS

>>82205794
>case in point

But now that the Orange Jew on team red is plundering the country suddenly it's OK?
