'Should a sitting President make $2billion in a year through his Presidential Power?"

that's what every right-wing rag outfit (starting with Fox) would be asking every single day until the viewers started asking it.

"not words like enrich or benefit - simple, straight questions - doesn't even have to be the right number"

and while we are better than them, they keep winning elections because of their approach to the average or below average voter.

I think it is obviously corrupt. I will never understand, as long as I live, what anyone would find honorable about DJT.

I think a lot of Republicans would answer, "Absolutely, but only if it's Trump or me."
