Expand I think there are a lot of senators and congressmen/women that are obviously in politics for the money/kickbacks. You don't think there are way easier ways to make money than be president of the US under constant scrutiny and getting shot at?

If he hadn't done that, I don't think he becomes a force in politics.
Scouts Honor Posted March 26 Posted March 26 lol, one example. now do all the examples of people who became millionaires AFTER election 1
Scouts Honor Posted March 26 Posted March 26 He worked by day and toiled at night. He gave up play and much delight. Dry books he read, new things to learn. And forged head, success to earn. He plodded on, with faith and pitch. And when he won, trimp called it born rich

He's not a Trump foe in any way at all. People like you (and Trump) really need to stop misdirecting Trump discussion to a past president or foe. Don't bring up Hilary, don't bring up Bush, don't bring up Obama, focus on what is in front of us and forward. Living in the past doesn't help anyone.
