Oh, on topic, he didn't take a salary for being president.

Then where is his current salary coming from exactly, perhaps a source to confirm this would be appropriate.

He's a billionaire. He doesnt need a salary.

Well, for ONE, I imagine the interest on his bank accounts, ALONE, would choke a horse. As for a source: It's common knowledge----Google it.....

Why is it that the butthurt SJW's don't mention things like that? I mean if they are so "objective" and "accepting" then why don't they bother mention some of the positives about Trump!?

Cuz that would take the focus off of their belly-aching----they want the only thing that people hear, to be "WAAAAAAAH, Trump is soooooo HORRIBLE!!"----and, talking about him saving jobs, doesn't help their case.

And the worst part about thit is that they usually resort to terrorism! Is it just me or did ISIS brainwashed them?

He said that, but it would seem he wasn't able to turn it down

he's said he will donate the money, but haven't heard if he actually has done so yet, though not sure what sort of causes he'd be donating the money to.

From your own article:

NBC News wrote:

The Constitution, however, requires that the president receive a salary, and that it not be reduced during his term.

So, I was wrong for thinking he wasn't taking a salary.

As for him not divulging to whom he's donated his salary----or, IF he has donated: Unless there's a law that says he MUST divulge, he hasn't done anything wrong, IMO.

Not to derail this thread, but are you serious?

I'm genuinely interested to know what you find inspiring about her.

As far as I can see, Clinton is a politician in the worst sense of the word.

And if you'll read the article I linked to in my thread about "understanding obama-trump voters" you'll see that there is some compelling research to suggest that the dems will never regain power if they cling to Clinton style policies.

Wow I can't believe a lot of people here got upset when Walrus said that Hilary was "ispriational". It feels good to know that I am not the only one who felt suspicious about Hilary's motives.

See, we can find common ground when we try!! !

See, he didn't really save those jobs.

I did industrial automation for 20 years before I went back to school to become a professional SJW.

Here's what's gonna happen.... Since they cannot move those jobs, they'll just automate them out of existence. I've seen it and helped do it many times.

It's like those textile mill jobs you occasionally hear about coming back to American. Those mills that got off-shored in the 90's employed hundreds of people. The new mills that are coming back are fully automated and employ a few dozen techs--people with at least an Associates of Science degree.

The days of good blue collar jobs for high school grads are over and they are NEVER coming back.

... I've got nothing. He withdrew from TPP but basically wants to do all the same things, just while not calling it the TPP.

Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing. One of the goals of TPP was to block China from dominating Asia economically. That still needs to happen one way or another.

True, however if he does not divulge then there is no way of knowing if he's really donating it, or if that was a lie just to make him look good to his supporters. Might not be 'wrong' not to divulge, but if he wants people to be certain he is in fact donating the money it would probably be in his best interest to prove it.

That's a good point...bring back the factories, give the jobs to automated robots then smile and wave at all the supporters who actually believe you have brought jobs back for them and are some kind of job hero.

I don't get it why is that our business...unless china is doing something terribly internationally illegal to do it that somehow binds us to take action due to international agreements. I mean what is the concern if China dominates Asia economically exactly?

As I stated in another thread, the Chinese are anti-democratic, authoritarian, and have a terrible record on human rights. A strong China is bad for everyone including us in the long run. Also, all things being equal, even if china was run by benevolent unicorns, I'd rather see wealth from Asian trade come to America.

Global trade is not bad, it is the uneven distribution of wealth that is hurting most Americans, and than is a matter of public policy that can be changed.

He put a stop to the illegal societal security administration gun ban and appointed a good replacement Supreme Court judge.

Well how would blocking them gaining more economic success help with any of that? And what exactly can the U.S do to even accomplish that anyways?...funnel money into other asian countries in an effort to help them catch up? ban any good from china coming to the U.S until they quit improving their economy? neither of those seem like very good ideas in the long run.

At least North Korea isn't economically dominating Asia....
