However, I bet Trump doesn’t fiddle his expenses and blatantly rip off the tax payers due to pure greed...

why would he do that when he has his own charity to syphon money off?

No I mean like Trump - his foundation is the one being sued he is the one being openly accused of using money from his charitable foundation to effectively pay some of his bills. I understand that there were issues raised over the transparency of the Clinton Foundation but no actual court action naming them personally of taking money out that was put in. As well as this don't forget Trump gets reward for being President - gets security cover - and spends an unbelievable amount of time playing golf at his own golf resort. I bet the US taxpayer has stumped up plenty $$$ to upgrade security there - will that be taken out when he is no longer POTUS?

I love how desperate Trump supporters are that when faced with something like this they don't even try to deny it just plunge into whataboutisms over the Clintons - that was years ago - they have been investigated - charges if any were laid and actions taken - this is now and Trump is a crook and a con-man but his supporters are too scared to admit they were hoodwinked.

No, he just claims that he's giving to charity and then squirrels the money away to pay for personal items, personal business expenses and legal bills. Apparently claimed he gave $1M dollars of his own money to a veterans charity (no wonder he got their votes). Needles to say the veterans charity hasn't seen the money.

It's actually worse than that because he personally gives very little to the Trump Foundation (zero in the last 10 years), but he uses money from it that has been given by other donors for the things you listed. You also forgot to mention the $10k self portraint paid for by it.

Self portrait you say? $10k? Did he use orange chubby crayon? ;-)

I saw somewhere yesterday an image of a handwritten note/invoice, signed by Trump paying a personal expense direct from Trump Foundation funds. I'm not sure if it was legit, but if it is then it's hard evidence of financial irregularities, in direct contravention of Federal Law.

This is exactly what he is doing... He refers to the 'southern white house' - his resort / club where he charges extortionate fee's for access to the president. Which is know as pay to play and is illegal.

He also charges the government fees for using his property. Mar A Largo cost the US Tax payer $6.6m in 2017 and that is just the air fare for him and the entourage, each trip is estimated at around $4m all in and a big portion of that goes to himself. There is no precedent for this. No other US president has done anything like this.

Absolute con job!

Give me a break!
 
He says so much every day that is outrageous people become immune. I dont think he has any understanding of the human rights issues in North Korea. If he does and he still says that then it's even worse!

He has also today claimed a report on the FBI handaling of the Hillary emails issue exonerates him from Russia - it has nothing in it related to Russia. Another straight up lie that just gets washed over as he has moved on to some other outrageous comment or political move (see china trade war escalation - also today).

That’s just silly though, give discredit where it’s due and credit where it’s due.

You can make an overall opinion on someone but to dismiss positive acts doesn’t help.

I don’t like him at all but if he cures world hunger I’ll give him credit for it.

It’s about being honest and objective.

First of all he'd never cure world hunger. Even if he had the ability to do it (he doesn't) he wouldn't do it because he'd be afraid it might help somebody who has been critical of him.

Secondly, it's not okay to "give credit where it's due" to a white supremacist piece of shit because you'd be normalizing them. It'd be like living in Germany in the late 1930s and saying "Man I really like Hitler's plan to improve our infrastructure and he sure is doing a great job with our school system". You can't gloss over the Holocaust. Saying Dumb Donald does anything well will lead to more people accepting the atrocities he commits.
