Perhaps you would be happier if it was held on Great St. James Island?

@sunsporter1649 The USVI is a territory of the United States and by this time next year, the US government will probably take possession of that real estate so that might be a viable option. At least Trump won’t be profiting from it.

@SimplyTracie Are you insinuating that a politician would use his position to enhance his wealth, like Barry Milhouse Obama has done?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@sunsporter1649 I’m sure those who are greedy and unscrupulous will do anything for a few dollars. And yes, I believe Trump would do that.
Did Obama do that? Maybe he’s a degenerate just like Trump.

@SimplyTracie You are not the least bit curious how barry big ears gets $15 Million to buy a house on Martha's Vineyard on his retirement check from the government?

@sunsporter1649 How and when did Obama do that?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@sunsporter1649 Ohhh you think he was bought? I have no idea where he miraculously got $15 million but it does sound a bit unethical. 😠

@SimplyTracie And that after buying a house in Washington for $8 Million. Pretty good gig if you can get it. 3 more mansions and they can catch up with the Clintons, who also claimed to be poor when they left the White House

@sunsporter1649 He's no longer president. What's the problem? Barack Obama is worth $40 million. He published two books before he was president which are both still earning him handsome royalties. In 2017, the Obamas signed a $65 million book deal. Michelle published a mega best-seller that she wrote after they left the White House (as all first ladies do).
Barack's pension as a former president is $200,000/year which starts immediately upon leaving office. His speaking fees are as much as $400,000 per event. Michelle's speaking fees are also hefty although I don't know what they are. They both have law degrees from Harvard University. They owned several million dollars in investments before he took office which are worth much more now.
Barack and Michelle are both very, very smart and accomplished. They are both excellent writers and speakers. They deserve all they make.
All modern presidents are worth several million dollars. It is nothing new or unusual.

@sunsporter1649 Dang Obama! $15 plus $8 million. Dats a lot of dollars.

@quitwhendone And you bitch about President Trump having money? Wonder why
quitwhendone · M
@sunsporter1649 I have never bitched about him having money.
