Trump: "Democrats are trying to build a case that I enrich myself by being President."

They failed on the Mueller Report, they failed on Robert Mueller’s testimony, they failed on everything else, so now the Democrats are trying to build a case that I enrich myself by being President. Good idea, except I will, and have always expected to, lose BILLIONS of DOLLARS..

....for the privilege of being your President - and doing the best job that has been done in many decades. I am far beyond somebody paying for a hotel room for the evening, or filling up a gas tank at an airport I do not own. These Radical Left Democrats are CRAZY! Obama Netflix?

House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller Report, sadly for them after two years and $40,000,000 spent - ZERO COLLUSION, ZERO OBSTRUCTION. So they say, OK, lets look at everything else, and all of the deals that “Trump” has done over his lifetime. But it doesn’t....

....work that way. I have a better idea. Look at the Obama Book Deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the “Congressional Slush Fund,” and lastly the IG Reports. Take a look at them. Those investigations would be over FAST!

1. He just wishes he were Clarence Darrow

5. Maybe, but this thing about former presidents striking business deals is gonna blow wide open!

Twitter is having all kinds of fun informing him that Obama's deals don't fall under the emoluments clause.

[underpants]

2. Go outside and yell at people on the lawn

Or just DO SOMETHING

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Trump is PROJECTING once again.....

Of course he is enriching himself while President and he knows it.

Just release the Tax Returns just to prove he IS NOT profiting off the Office and all will be settled. But NO! Trump refuses to do that.

6. This!!

4. "I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it."

7. "I will, and have always expected to, lose BILLIONS of DOLLARS.."

...meanwhile, his "biographers" regularly appear on MSNBC and build the case for his never having been a "billionaire."

As Muddy Waters sang, you can't lose what you never had.

13. That's the first truthful statement EVER! n/t

[tblue37]

8. One of his aides helped him on this one. Trump doesn't have that many

different words.

9. Why the sarcastic...

“Trump”?

[Miles Archer]

15. Self-pity, playing the victim, showing how he's set up to be the "villain."

He does it all the time. Referring to himself in 3rd person and putting it in quotes is supposed to demonstrate that the evil liberal portrayal of his "presidency" is fake, manufactured, unfair...

...this boy is a few slices shy of a loaf. Watch "Caine Mutiny" and you'll see it all. Trump is "Old Yellowstain" (will make sense only if you'be seen the movie).

[Zorro]

10. So show us your taxes

if you're losing so much money.

[Zoonart]

11. So wait... you can loot the treasury because you are not free

Launder money for the Russians, er... I mean make billions of dollars as a private citizen?

So RESIGN.

Make your billions and take your circus with you.

[Gothmog]

12. It is trump who is building the case

[machoneman]

14. Totally-Going-Nuts, the name of his new book! Say, we are really on to something here....

and we need to push more of this narrative 24/7/365 until Election Day. This is not to say he wasn't nuts before. Tut-tut!

It now seems that the convergence of a lot of bad news for Trumpyboy has further unhinged him. The looming recession, more Democratically lead new investigations, the failure of all his deals and his self-inflicted wounds from constant and high-level staff turnover. Heck, he's even got Kellyskank Spinway to say, inadvertently I'm sure, that Trumpenfueher doesn't even think but always acts on instinct, instinct that by the way caused all those casino, airline, steak, wine and other endeavors to fail miserably.

If he thinks the long knives are out for him, he'd be right....for a change!

16. Besides just being wrong, Trump sgain obscures the actual point

Even were he right about losing "Billions of dollars" (which would be an amazing feat since by even generous estimates he is only worth several billion dollars to begin with and most of that is in property holdings), whether he is making money off the presidency isn't the salient point. What matters most is that he makes himself susceptible to bribery to influence foreign policy through his international business dealings.

In fact if Trump were losing money as a result of the presidency, that could make him more eager to mitigate his losses via "sweet offers" from abroad.

17. Present yourself.

It’s time for you to stop hiding on twitter.

Come out from behind that curtain, and let us get a good long look at you. Maybe you could explain your directives, and make your case to the American people.

It’s what we’re actually paying you to do.

[maryellen99]

18. I'd rather be a "crazy radical left Democrat"

Than a gullible ignorant trump supporter.

[leftstreet]

19. Oh. So THAT will be the reason when it's revealed he's broke

I WAS a billionaire, but I lost it all...(checks notes) being your POTUS

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. He may be right. Now the Trump name is mud.

No one wants anything to do with anyone in that God awful family.

(Except for a few sycophants who are trying to make as much as they can before the whole house if cards folds up). And the Saudis.
