trump's sticky fingers speak of his ego and entitlement

[butters]

• House Democrats this month said Trump failed to report over 100 gifts from foreign leaders.
• Listed among the gifts that were missing was a large portrait of Trump from El Salvador's president.
• After a reader tip, a New York Times reporter found it in an obscure room at a Trump Hotel in Miami.

Under US law, any gifts a president or federal official receives from foreign governments that are valued at more than $415 must be reported to the State Department. If an official would like to keep one of the gifts when leaving office, they are required to pay for it.

The report from House Democrats said, "the Trump Administration's failure to disclose more than one hundred foreign gifts President Trump and his family received raises new questions about whether these and other gifts may have been used by foreign governments to influence US policy under President Trump."

An El Salvador official notified the White House and the State Department that the portrait was being sent, but the National Archives, which tracks foreign gifts to presidents, had no record of it. The painting was missing — but the report said "certain records suggest the portrait may have been moved to Florida as 'property of the former President' in July 2021."

interesting to see if there's a paper trail for the payment for this "missing" portrait. trump seems to believe things belong to him that don't. if he didn't pay for the portrait, then he stole it.

did the unreported gifts equate to bribes from foreign officials? who knows. will they ever be fully accounted for? that's another big question mark.

is it jam hands? Sticky fingers are better than butter fingers.

A portrait of Trump isn't going to be worth more than $415. He can keep that bit of landfill.

But butters will never once question how lunch bucket Joe rose from such humble origins to become a multi-millionaire on a public servant's salary...

And Trump's the crook. :nods:

Biden is a leader. Trump only did what Michael Flynn, Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation told him to do.

Butter's fingers are probably sticky as well.

So if there are piles of criminal evidence in those tax forms how come the IRS didn't find them?

Trump’s businesses were convicted of seventeen counts of criminal tax fraud.

He couldn't keep some of them open despite skipping taxes and not paying employees and vendors. He's a lousy businessman.

The only successful business that Trump ever had was selling red hats to rubes.

When no US bank will deal with him and he has to go to Moscow for a bank account, he's not a great businessman.

Here's the truth about Trump's banks, friends, investors, how he's better off now than when he was President, and has totally mitigated his formed debt problem.

By using his presidency to overcharge foreign dignitaries who wish to carry favor as well as triple charging government workers tasked with following him around.

Yes, he grifted his previous job well
