ROFL, you are just so pissed at everything.

"herp derp he might be donating his salary but he is spending his own money on himself! how dare he!"

Since Trump is doing it, do you now hate it when people live off of their own means?

Trump is president. Why do you think this comparison is valid? Is this patented simple-thinking?

Which is 100% completely legal. He could be running it himself, directly, and it would still be within the law. This is the stupidest thing to complain about.

It's "within the law." I'm sure you would be cool if Hillary were president and her name was still on the Clinton foundation--oh Wait! NONE OF YOU were cool with that when she was running! :D

amateurs.

Either you are really fucking stupid, and wrote that without realizing that it has already happened, or you are incredibly dishonest and was hoping I was just unaware.

Either way, you win the douche-bag of the day award.

Bill Clinton
42nd President of the United States
In office

January 20, 1993 – January 20, 2001

Clinton Foundation
Founded 1997; 20 years ago[1]

1997 occurred before 2001, didn't it?

lol, I'm not sure if you are illiterate or have a memory that lasts about 3 months before resetting, but are you trying to claim that Repubs and like-minded retards weren't frothing about the Clinton Foundation, influence, and Hillary?

:D I have to pause a bit, because your ignorance is astounding.

He's trying to compare the Clinton Foundation in 1997, which from his own link existed to help set up Clinton's library (like most presidents do), and tried to compare it to the Clinton Foundation of 2016.

He's either really stupid or he's hoping the rest of us are.

That is one really fucking expensive library.

It's the same foundation. How do you think it grew?

Hint: Clinton was president while it existed. Weird coincidences occurred, such as massive donations from certain groups immediately before Clinton met with those exact same groups. Some might think that there was some pay to play going on.

Actually really glad you pointed this out. So you are saying it was a lie from it's very inception? You would agree that the Clinton Foundation has done a lot more than set up a library, wouldn't you?

Where is your outrage about this gross lie?

What are you ranting about now? Foundations change in scope over time, how do you not know this? You're just randomly and wildly throwing out accusations about the Clintons because you can't defend Trump's corruption.

I'm glad to see you've run away from the '100% verified' claim though, hahaha. Seriously how did you not even bother to read your own link?

Meanwhile, Trump is a grossly unethical douchebag and President.

Even if the legal team of Perry Mason, Clarence Darrow and my Uncle Two Fingers Vinny were to defend Trump, they'd all have to concede this point without objection.

So you agree that CNN is fake news? Otherwise I don't see how you could deny that Clinton made millions in speeches.

This is all very entertaining, and you will never know why.

I don't even know what you're trying to argue anymore. The Clintons made millions in speeches WHILE NOT IN ANY PUBLIC OFFICE.

Also, it's pretty funny that you would declare CNN as 'fake news' and then link to them when they say something you like. Thanks for so transparently showing that your standard for the accuracy of news is if it tells you what you want to hear.

LOL at certain posters trying to duhvert to Clinton in a Trump thread. The election was 5 months ago. Trump owns his own shit now.

To be fair, I triggered the trumphadist snowflake by first mentioning the evil 6 letter "H" word to remind him of his gross hypocrisy, and well, here we are. :oops:

I liked your post, but I have to question this part. Since when has Trump owned up to anything like an adult is expected to?

He doesn't act like an adult. But I think it is fair to safe we can say he owns his actions and decisions at this point. Unlike the folks who keep trying to point the finger at Hillary every time Trump is an unethical douche bag.

Ah, when you say "own" you mean "is responsible for", rather than a more modern use of it being when someone owns something, it's basically short for "owns up to".

First of all that is false. Hillary Clinton was secretary of state while making many of her paid speeches.

Second of all, how is that even relevant? I thought the argument was that using the presidential position to make personal wealth was unethical. It doesn't matter if you make the speeches after your term is up, the fact is those speeches only paid what they did because of his former presidential position, he absolutely used his public office to enrich himself.

You are assuming he does the things he does accidentally. Lets dispel this illusion that Trump is stumbling and bumbling around, he knows exactly what he is doing and most of his errors, "failures", or mistakes are 100% intentional and strategic.
