A daily reminder that Trump, his family, and their cronies continue to profit off of the Presidency.

If that in and of itself is not grounds for impeachment....

1. I don't know of any politician

who became poor as a result of federal elective office (President, VP, Senators, Congress Representatives).
Many became more wealthy by orders of magnitude at end of a long political career in DC.

2. It's been a while, hasn't it? I heard Harry Truman never got rich...

The difference is that Trump and his family aren’t waiting for the end. They’re enriching themselves now, while Trump is President and his daughter and son-in-law are “senior advisers” in the White House. That’s new, at least in recent memory...

5. But how did they become wealthy?

Obama is now wealthy, due to his many well written books. Absolutely no corruption there.
A big distinction should be drawn between those that became wealthy due to corruption, not talent in a different field.

10. Never implied corruption, just cashing in with the fame

and position of power and authority.

Main point I was making remains, which is, I can't think of any federal elected politician to have sacrificed his/her regular job/business, went to serve in congress or presidency and came out suffering financial setback. Many like Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman did not cash in, but still did not end up any worse off than when they first got elected. But I am not Google encyclopedia so there might be 1% of politicians who actually became financially poorer after serving in congress or presidency. But most are far richer than when first elected.

6. Jimmy Carter never cashed in on the presidency, nor has Joe Biden.

8. Jimmy Carter for sure! Most decent human being as president!

But I don't think he left White House any poorer than when he entered.
He probably stayed even. I don't know much about Biden or his son's wealth situation.
Very seldom there is much talk about any Vice President and his wealth.
Have we ever had a female VP?

9. William Natcher wouldn't even use his postage allotment

He didn't take campaign contributions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Natcher

He was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1953 from the Kentucky's 2nd congressional district. He cast 18,401 consecutive roll-call votes between 1953 and 1994, never missing a single roll call vote over his forty-one-year Congressional career until his last days in office, the all-time record for both the House of Representatives and Congress as a whole.[3] Natcher refused to accept campaign contributions. He was also chairman of the House Appropriations Committee from 1993 to 1994. His knowledge of House rules in debate led House Speaker Tip O'Neill to employ him as presiding officer during crucial debates.

On March 4, 1994, Natcher was presented with the Presidential Citizens Medal by President of the United States Bill Clinton.[4] He continued to serve in Congress until his death on March 29, 1994, in Bethesda, Maryland.

11. Very unusual, highly commendable and

worth noticing ONLY because it is probably a rare exception.
