Villain posted...I care because he's directly profiting off the tax payers since his vacations are at his properties. What a complete joke. Why don't you look at the numbers for like 30 seconds and appreciate how small a contribution his quarterly salary would be to his wealth. I'll break it down for you. Have you ever decided not to bend over and pick up a quarter, because it was on the other side of the pavement and not really worth the 10 seconds of your time to get your hands covered in dirt? This is what it's like when a multi-billionaire decides to turn down a couple hundred grand. Regardless, none of this has anything to do with the complete conflict of interest of a public servant using your tax payer dollars to fund his private business, no matter how small the contribution may be.

If that is occurring, which there doesn't seem to be any concrete evidence--- it's probably saving tax payer dollars due to logistics. And you're right---the amount is very small---meaningless to him (both the donations and the alleged profit he's making). What is meaningful are the stocks that he sold in order to prevent him from owning shares in businesses where laws could affect profit. He's giving up millions and millions in profit. And it's not even required for him to do so. Either way, no one can call him some scheming presidential profiteer. He's losing money by being the President.

So the argument is that "just because one area of government is bloated and costs too much, that justifies adding additional expenses to government that are bloated and cost way too much."
Doesn't sound like a very convincing one.

Ignoring the obvious cronyism that will come about when the president owns the same business resort he conducts state business in, you're conflating different things here. The president turning down the salary is a gracious but technically unnecessary thing. The president collecting dollars is an unethical and absolutely wrong thing. The amount doesn't actually matter. It's the principle (or lack thereof) that is being shown. What is meaningful are the stocks that he sold in order to prevent him from owning shares in businesses where laws could affect profit. He's giving up millions and millions in profit. And it's not even required for him to do so. Everyone can call him a scheming profiteer. When you have billions of dollars, losing a few millions is absolute chickens***, especially when you can affect legislation that will give you and your buddies long term tax breaks and industry deregulation. Like, you know that there's a thousand million in a billion, right? Just checking.

So the argument is that "just because one area of government is bloated and costs too much, that justifies adding additional expenses to government that are bloated and cost way too much." I'd say the argument is more "President Trump painted the trans issue as an unforturnate but necessary streamlining of government budget, as if the overarching goal here is to gut unnecessary government spending even if they might be a good thing for some people. That sentiment loses its legitimacy when the president spends several times that budget alone on superfluous trips to his holiday resort." It's a bit like when the director of the company has to make a few team members redundant on Friday, and then comes into the office on Monday and shows everyone the new Ferrari he bought. No one is going to be happy about that, even if the books are balanced.

Even if it's all true, it's not against the law and he's already done more than is required of him to do. Except it's not enough for some liberals apparently--they wouldn't be happy unless he sold his entire business, which could take years (Meaning in order to sell it immediately/quickly he would lose a tremendous amount of wealth). And it's not just a few million. It's likely millions and millions, which could easily turn out to be hundreds of millions during his presidency if the market continues to perform well. The bottom line, though, is no one really gives a ****. The American people, through their votes, put him into office knowing full and well what his business circumstances were.

The government shouldn't pay for trans surgeries, anyway. Right, but that seems like a slightly separate issue. The statement wasn't "the government will no longer be covering medical transitions for trans people". It was a pretty clear "trans people will not be allowed to serve in the military in any capacity".

Except it's not enough for some liberals apparently--they wouldn't be happy unless he sold his entire business, which could take years (Meaning in order to sell it immediately/quickly he would lose a tremendous amount of wealth). "Not against the law" when you're talking about the actions of the president becomes a complicated constitutional debate that neither you or I can answer on a message board. Also, "not against the law" is not the same thing as "ethically sound". It's not against the law for a president to pardon himself of his own crimes, apparently. Are you happy with that arrangement, though? Again, hundreds of millions is still chicken s*** when you have a few billion. I think you're still really underselling just how wealth the guy is. If you lost 5% of your net worth in the effort to make a whole lot more money in the long run, I wouldn't feel bad for you either. This is of course a distraction. However much he loses is not the point, and was never the point. Stop trying to make him sound like a freakin' martyr when he has everything to gain here and very little to lose. The American people were split right down the line. And lots of people clearly give a s***, don't even argue that. It's weird to me that you don't seem to care how the president spends tax dollars though.

I see you ignored my point about how expecting him to sell his business is ludicrous and completely unrealistic to ask of someone. I'm sure laws will help some of his "friends", maybe even his business, but they will also help everyday Americans and other businesses he has nothing to do with. And I'm not sure if you are fully grasping how much hundreds of millions of dollars is or percentages. It could easily be more than 5% of his wealth. $300 million would be 10%. $600 would be 20%. You're getting into some big money pretty fast. Another thing you haven't painted yet is exactly how much he's going to make from his presidency and how is he going to make it? Are the laws specifically only going to affect him and his friends? What are you basing this on? How is he going to make all of this money after already losing a **** ton and/or giving up potential gains? And yes, during the final stretch---the American people had a choice of one or the other. But leading up to that stretch, people voted for Trump to win the Republican nomination. Republicans had 16 other people to choose and they chose Trump.

His hotels can be expensive, but his basic rooms are $300-$400/night. Sometimes less depending on the night and location. Two/three agents per room doesn't amount to a massive profit and certainly giving away 400k each year would put a major dent in it, if not outright erode profit altogether.
