The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

WiltonKnight: He could have done that as your Ruling Class has always done.

If he didn't do that, he could've sold all the classified stuff to Russia or China or Saudi, pocketed the money and had luxurious exile in a city that isn't a rat's nest sh*tty hole like New York.

But he didn't.


First, how do you know Trump didn't share those classified documents with foreign interests? I mean, he gave the Russians classified information right there in the White House. Do you actually believe the Saudis gave Jared Kushner, who never managed an investment fund in his life and made dreadful investments in real life, gave him $2 billion for his investment skills?

Forbes estimates that Trump made $2.4 billion as president.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics estimates that Trump made $160 million from foreign countries as president.

Ivanka and Jared made between between $172 million and $640 million while working in the White House.

As noted, Jared got $2 billion from the Saudis.

Trump will make millions more from the Saudi's LIV Golf.

Trump took in a few hundred million dollars in fundraising and his PAC paid $40 million of it for Trump-related legal bills.

For a guy whose income tax returns showed he lost nearly one billion dollars in business in a single year, that sure sounds like Trump and the Trump family profited off the presidency.

B-u-u-u-u-t Hunter made $10 million!!!!
