    Imagine if the president and his administration were so rich, he wouldn't need to take a bribe.

    For some, $100M+ isn't enough. They need to go give speeches to wall street banks and funnel bribes through a "charity" or outrageous fees and salaries paid to a spouse.

    Right. Rich people never lust after additional money.

    The famous never want more fame. The powerful never want more power.

    I think Greed is probably a more powerful addiction than heroin...Trump has probably had little contact with actual money...his life has been a bar tab he signs for. I doubt if he's pushed his own elevator button

    If he wanted more money, he wouldn't want to be president.

    I think he lives for the deal. As president, the deals don't get any bigger. His ego is such that he wants every deal to be a win.

    I don't think he's ever known how to be greedy for money...he's greedy for praise and adulation...power probably shakes him up a bit..the guy likes the sound of his own voice from what I see...and I'm afraid he's lacking substance

    I agree, but he's deluded himself into claiming his real losses into wins..denial...not a good trait for the job he just got

    There's a long list of $billionaires that are charitable.

    Gates isn't the exception to any rule, though. When he was in charge of Micro$oft, he was all about making more and more money. The company was sued by the US government for practices that helped make him richer.

    At some point, he had enough money and wanted to do something else with his life. This is true for plenty of other $billionaires. Bloomberg wanted to serve his city. John Kerry's wife is a $billionaire.

    If Trump wants to make more money, he'd not want to be president to do so. He'd just take that $2B deal with Dubai. If anything, the presidency is obviously going to get in the way of his making as much money as possible. By definition: $400K salary and all his time spent vs. what he'd make running his business.

    Lock her up!

    Then, last Sunday evening, during the NFL playoff game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, the FBI posted on its website more than 300 emails that Clinton had sent to an unnamed colleague not in the government -- no doubt her adviser Sid Blumenthal -- that had fallen into the hands of foreign powers. It turns out -- and the Sunday night release proves this -- that Blumenthal was hacked by intelligence agents from at least three foreign governments and that they obtained the emails Clinton had sent to him that contained state secrets.

    Now you're really showing your youth and naivety. Folks of a certain age don't have the luxury of your smugness and glibness. You didn't grow up hunkering under desks, wondering if it REALLY was a drill this time. Nuclear terror as a child is not conducive to the current older generation trusting the Russians. Or much of anything really. Make all the fun you want of guys like me. But you didn't live through that shit in any way shape or form. It formed and hardened our opinions and fears. Smart money says to keep them at arms length and under a microscope at all times.....their government is NOT our friend....and never will be. But keep on laughing.......
