If this would be anyone else than trump i may be impressed, but from him i'm just hearing: "I'm gonna get more than that in other ways"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

If someone says they are going to do crazy stuff, and then that person becomes president, I'd say that's a pretty damn good reason to freak out.

Enforcing illegal immigration laws? Securing borders? Oh no, those really are crazy stuff.

I didn't actually say anything about immigration laws.  Don't make strawmen arguments.

Lets wait and see. Democrats tax/rob the poor, the penalty fees for not having health insurance is going to impact people already struggling financially.

I don't think Obamacare is going away completely, but it should become less of disaster that's being exploited.

Both parties rob the poor. It's very obvious that, while they are generally considered by most to be bitter enemies, they are actually pretty amicable towards each other, as they do whatever they can to ensure that a third party is unable to succeed.

I dont think there is need for a 3rd party because the dems and republicans change with the people.

For example, dems are REALLY pushing socialism and social justice now. Which is why I'm personally turned off by them.

Republicans are becoming more moderate in my opinion.

A third party isnt pushing anything the masses seem to care about or agree with.

The MSM is beyond moronic this election.

Heck you should see the amount of time and complaining they did just recently because Trump went to dinner with his family without telling the press.

So, you made no argument then? You just made an absolutely useless post? I guess you did.

Going back to my original point, to the extent that a wall stops movement, it does so in both directions. 

But you're wrong. You're free to leave without a valid visa.

U.S. Customs may not stop you at the gate, but Mexican customs might.  Illegal immigrants don't necessarily have their paperwork demonstrating their Mexican citizenship.

Drumpf does not want a salary, and the SJWs are going insane. America is bananas.

While in places like Brazil it is tradition for millionaires and bilionaires to donate their public office salaries to charity , the USA are going crazy with the decision from the Don of refusing monetary compensation for serving as President.

The first president of the US, George Washington, also refused salary cause he was just too rich.

JFK never cashed his check either, he donate the whole thing.

(confirmed by Snopes, http://www.snopes.com/jfk-presidential-salary/)

But the SJW and the MSM are screaming bloody murder over this...

What is wrong with these people, this is just insane. Is there nothing left of the greatness America once had? 

I seriously have to ask based on your posts, do you uncritically accept whatever you see on some poorly edited youtube video that cherry picks quotes to make a dishonest argument?  Do you actually look into these things?

The article that he's quoting in the video does not show anyone "screaming bloody murder".  The article explains why there is a tradition of the president accepting his salary.  The reason for that is simply because they don't want to set the precedent.  The concept of the president receiving a salary is to ensure that he has enough money that he can't be easily tempted or bribed, and also to symbolically show he is an employee of the people.  Obviously, this isn't a big issue for Trump, and it hasn't been for pretty much any recent president.  

However, this might be an issue for a future president who is not already rich.  For that reason, they don't want it to become a tradition for the president to refuse his salary.  If it becomes a tradition, then there may be pressure on future presidents to also refuse the salary, which might discourage non-rich people from taking the office.

Nobody is really going crazy over this... except for you.  A few news sources have posted articles explaining in a reasonably sober manner why Trump should take a salary, and donate it to charity if he wishes".  Nobody is "screaming bloody murder" or saying ridiculous things like "is there nothing left of the greatness America once had".  The only one really overreacting is you.

Thank you for leaving a well educated post, explaining the situation and actually providing a summery of the video and link in OP.

Because I'm certainly not clicking on any video that has a flaming constitution in the backround of the thumbnail. :P
