Now, I can't say for certain that it's every day, but I was walking doggie this morning and saw the sunrise.
Maybe it's from the east on the first Wednesday in August, or something!

He was donating it to government departments for his pet projects like the wall, wasn’t he?

He is the Republican family-values role model for a whole generation of republican youngsters. God help America.

… and all the presidency did was give him an opportunity to appear wealthy while living off the government dole in terms of flights, travel, and gave him the ability to bilk government entities for his services.

But as it got down close to the end—and let’s face it: he knew he was losing, he started scooping/hoarding whatever he could because the gravy train was ending.

I mean, he STILL hasn’t had his dilapidated, branded 757 sitting out on the tarmac upstate rehabilitated, and those repairs we’re estimated it being around… How much? About a million? Can’t swing that? And the money that he’s accumulated thus far via donations is basically “robbing Peter to pay Paul“ money. It’s to service debt. Add in that the in-flow of his money is under dramatically enhanced scrutiny these days (from foreign sources) and ALL he has to sell worth a damn is privileged, deeply classified information, so scrutiny from intelligence services on him is ramped up too.

He’s been sealed off.

This dude is BROKE.
