Gaetz won’t need a pardon. When he was nominated for AG he left his congressional seat and the GOP hid away the congressional investigation on him. They said since he wasn’t a Congressman anymore there’d be no point in punishing him for being a sex trafficker. Just regular GOP covering for rapists.

It's funny how Obama, who hasn't been president for over 10 years, lives in the MAGA head, rent free. They keep bringing him up out of nowhere, to make idiotic comparisons with OrangeBoy.
Here, we get this idiotic Matt Gaetz post.
And a couple days ago, Sarah Palin posted that idiotic "Name one thing that Obama did better than Trump" post, again, bringing Obama up out of nowhere.
The fact is that when it comes to Obama, MAGA is extremely insecure, for they know, deep down, that OrangeBoy will never measure up to Obama. (Hell, OrangeBoy doesn't even measure up to the likes of John Tyler, for that matter.). And the idea of the head of MAGA not even coming close to measuring up to a black man, is something that they just can't stand. So they keep bringing Obama up, in lame attempts to say, "See, trump really IS better than that black guy!!! He's better, he's better he's better!!!"

The exact thing the post is falsely claiming trump does. All one has to do is look at the number of crimes and the amount of grifting between the two. And they have no idea how much Obama donates, that's not publicly known. You can donate completely anonymously. Also, the primary source of income for Obama was the salary.
What they are talking about here is who claims to donate more, and even if it's taken at face value that trump donates the whole $400k that is a drop in the bucket compared to what he has directly taken or stolen, using his position. Obama had investments and two books. Trump pulled multiple crypto scams, forces the secret service to use his airline and hotels when traveling, takes bribes at least as high as $400m (which cost about the same to retrofit to turn it into turd force one), and nonstop shills his garbage merchandise, and that of his family, friends, and donors. Not to mention market manipulation, which accounts for 90% of his faux waffling on issues publicly.
The entire claim by the (other) child trafficker is just laughable, but people are dumb.
His kids literally sell access to cabinet members in their $500k/year club membership.

Trump has made $2 billion peddling merchandise out of the oval office and making illicit deals with foreign countries.
Every time Trump runs off to play golf Donnie goes to one of his own resorts and all the money paid for rooms, food or on anything else spent at the resort goes straight into Trump‘s pockets. Whenever he meets with foreign dignitaries and they go to one of his resorts he charges the government at a higher rate than his other clientele.
Of course, all the money spent for these trips comes straight out of the taxpayers pockets and straight into his.

The Obama's had one set of secret service for Barack and one for his family.
The Trumps have one secret service details for Donald, one for Melania, one for Barron, one for Eric, one for Don Jr., one for Tiffany, one for Ivana, and each one of them gets secret service agents for their children and spouses.

Where's the proof he's donated his salary? To what charity? His never seen tax returns? I wouldn't be surprised if he has donated any salary, it's to an organization under his control..

The Obamas were both still paying off their combined $80K in student loans in 2004. They were maintaining multiple residences (DC & Chicago) on their own time at the start of the presidency, too. Had to pay for their kids’ tuition and reimburse the government for all private travel, too. They didn’t inherit wealth like the Bushes or Trumps or have decades of lobbyist’s paying them big bucks like Reagan. Clinton was in a similar position when he took office, but without the burden of dual residences or student loans.
And Michelle actually showed up every day and worked on effective programs. They can fuck right off with this nonsense.

Trump has already stolen 4 billion through bitcoin schemes and pay for plays. All probably illegal if actually enforced. Stock trading who knows how much more than that. Fucker is the most corrupt president ever.

Every trip to his stupid golf courses transfers more than his annual salary from our tax dollars that pay for it into his bank account. And the many other corrupt ways that he enriches himself via holding that office makes the taxpayer costs of the golf trips pale in comparison.
You know who didn't do any of that bullshit? Barack Obama, who is a far better man and was a far better president by every single measure.

Donating 400k when your enriching yourself by millions isn't really a great comparison for someone who took his salary.

"Donating" his salary while grifting billions off the position isnt a flex. Keeping the salary because youre gonna use it to pay bills seems more honest to me. The presidency comes with a salary for that reason

Trump refuses to give up his massive holdings in companies that deal directly with the US government and openly bragged about insider trading. He also made sure his son profited off drones right before the iran war.
He doesn't need the paltry salary because he is raking it in through pure, uncut 100% corruption

Trump and family are fleecing our country like no administration before. Huge crime wave.

What is wrong with these people, he never showed proof he donated one dollar let alone his whole salary. But we know for a fact he ran the national debt up trillions of dollars…

Maybe that's because Mrs. Obama did her actual fucking job of First Lady, and was an extremely busy one at that, whereas Melania sits around and does fuck all. In fact we have zero information about where she is or what she does. This is unheard of. Her staff of 4 (if true, which it most likely is not), makes me believe she's way overstaffed. She doesn't even have a cause. Is it still Be Best?🤪 Because it's been almost a fucking year and we haven't heard shit about it. Maybe she can lecture us more about anti-bullying while her husband attempts to humiliate journalists and Democrats, and spread lies about them (and much more!!!) on Truth Social, or at rallys (where he also makes fun of and abuses citizens that he deems out of line, ie protesting him, our constitutional right), or on the loud ass, inconsiderate as fuck helicopter pad where he takes questions, or just wherever the fuck he feels like running his mouth, usually when his fragile ego is nicked. But that trashy Slovenian, who lied to get into the country, don't do N U T H I N N N N! Good Lord she is lazy. Neither does dump truck obviously, except occasionally wake up from one of his little naps👶🏼 to make decisions that run our country further into the ground, half asleep.
But keep hate-jerking to the Obamas, republicuntz. They are a good looking duo lol, and Obama is #7 on the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project rankings😊 (most recent) Whereas Trump is #45! ROFLMAO!!! Even Biden is #14 🤣🤣🤣 These rankings were decided by scholars from multiple disciplines. So just know that no matter what, Obama will always, ALWAYS be more successful and more liked than trump BY FAR. Trump, the demented loser, and his lying, fraud committing, useless, illegally-immigrated wife, plus his anchor babies, will FOREVER be outshined by Mrs. Obama and their beautiful, upstanding children. Those young women have actual class instead of a grifter's instinct.
Here is the page with the poll if you're curious: Presidential Rankings 2024

Trump donates 400 thousand dollars while he and his family steal billions. Pretty good deal for Trump.

Trump has stolen more than a presidents salary in just playing golf while his country collapses.
And that's not about the openly rampant corrupt pumping and dumping of his stock portfolio equivalent to 80 trades a day.

One made billions off abusing his position corruptly, the other one didn’t.
There’s no solid evidence that Trump donated his salary and it came out that he lied about doing so in his first term anyway.
