13. "He is not even accepting pay for being president"???

Seriously? You're not joking? Don the Con has spent the last few weeks calling up foreign leaders and setting up business deals! He doesn't need no stinkin' presidential pay check; he's setting himself up to reap BILLIONS off this new con!

And you're actually falling for this "look at me, turning down 400k a year to be your wonderful president" schtick? I'm sure he netted 10X that amount through his influence peddling phone calls just since the election.

If he has his way he will leave the White House in 4 years vastly richer then when he arrived.

...and you wonder why people want to see his tax returns?

(On edit: he SAYS he won't accept pay, but he lies about everything. It's his nature. I'd give 50/50 odds he will renege on that pledge.)
