Trump refuses to provide proof salary donated as promised

[HomerJS]

So we are all shocked and surprised Trump lies about donating his money. This was the pattern when he managed Trump foundation. Remember when he made promises to donate money to vets. Turns out he didn't until the press found out and forced him to do so.

The obvious retort, who cares. I will ask, can you trust anything that comes out of this guys mouth? And if you still do why?

I can't put this in my Donald J Trump bullshit thread because he made promise before I started it.

Trump is Mr. Krabs

Not just his salary:

Salary donations are not the only area where Trump's pledges to donate revenue are lacking transparency.

During the transition, Trump also unveiled a plan to "donate all profits from foreign governments' patronage of his hotels and similar businesses" to the Treasury Department. The plan was released by Trump's private law firm, Morgan Lewis, but no system or accounting has been released for how or when such donations will be processed or disclosed.

Well, next year we can easily figure out whether he did by taking a look at his tax ret-oh.. right.

Apologies to Pauly Shore to put his name in a Trump thread

He said he'd release them after the audit right? We can trust him.

Lol.

 

[Jhhnn]

He didn't say when. Maybe he meant in his last will & testament...

If not, it can def be said that he lied.

 

[trenchfoot]

Hey, it's the thought that counts right?

 

[fskimospy]

Not just his salary:

At this point when he makes a claim about money a rational person should just assume he is lying.

You would also think that a rational person would extrapolate that a person who can't be trusted about anything related to money is not fit for office, but that's a whole different thing.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Who said he had to donate it as soon as he got it? A donation can be made on an annual basis or at the end of his 8 years in office.

Either way, he wins.

 

[soundforbjt]

He probably gives it to Baron for his allowance.

 

[pcgeek11]

So just because you don't see a receipt for it means he lied?

What evidence do you have that he didn't or isn't going to donate it. Or is this some more fake news. I don't know or care what he does with HIS Salary. After all it is his to do with as he pleases. Even giving it to Baron for an allowance.

What it means when a person lies with the frequency he does the public deserves verification. Have your standards gotten so low you accept POTUS lying on a regular basis even about small stuff?

How are you able to trust ANYTHING he says?

 

[pcgeek11]

You have your panties in a wad over something that is a non-issue. It is his money to do with as he pleases as long as he doesn't break any law.

Odd assumption that conservatives are the least bit bothered by pathological lying among their own.

 

[Double Trouble]

Since when does declining to offer proof of something mean it didn't happen? If you choose to think he lied and won't be donating his salary, that's up to you but this is a complete non-story. More noise that drowns out rational discussion.

Considering they are liars themselves, I don't find it odd at all that they aren't bothered by a psychological liar. Hell, their whole world is built upon lies, they have a whole industry that feeds lies to them.

Can you show me an issue where you think you were having a rational discussion about trump?

Good point that if complete degenerates aren't bothered by his kenyan muslim birtherism they probably won't be bothered by this.

Why is it a non-story when the president lies about his own personal charity to burnish his public image again?

As for lack of proof meaning something didn't happen - considering the number of times he has lied about his charitable giving in the past it seems only rational to assume he is lying without proof to the contrary, no?

See, there it is.

Easy, every time I read or hear his name I think 'Hillary' or '0bama'. Every time I hear him speak I think the same. You would be a happier person if you did it too. Pretend he's a member of your team and your troubles will just slip away.

 

[mrjminer]

I don't doubt that he will donate the equivalent of the salary to charity. He's a billionaire. I don't think he gives a fuck about the paltry sum he gets from his salary when weighed against the "public image" thing. Then again, most of the lunatics here and on the Democrats give him nothing in return for being charitable, as if it is expected of him anyways; it's only used as a tool to continue to be overly critical and attempt to undermine his presidency if he doesn't. To the people that bitch about it, there is no benefit to him donating it, most of the democrats will be advocating for the destruction of the country either way.

If this amount of money means nothing to him then why did he lie so many times in the past about donations of similar or even smaller sums? Is he just a pathological liar who can't help himself?

I mean in case you need a refresher on how often he has lied about his charitable giving:
