   @LegalAmerican your quote below (the bolded part) is pure unadulterated BS, way too many words and syllables for a Trump sound bite, I'd be really surprised if he EVER mentioned the Constitution during his campaign.

Quote
Trump has always said; These are his plans and WORKING WITH CONGRESS AND WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION..he hopes to achieve his agenda.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I know.  HE is not taking any salary for himself.  Most went back to government. Our parks service. Our school system.  Then I stopped paying attention, where it went.  To Veterans.

So the assertion that "We the American people have saved a million dollars on that alone" is absurd.

The American people...the American taxpayers weren't  given any kind of savings because of the donations of Trumps salary.

That money was still spent...it wasn't returned to the people that allow his salary to be paid.  There was no savings anywhere.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

@Bigun

There was no way Trump or anyone else was going to make that happen since the entire DNC and their financial backers would have to be named as co-conspirators. Trump would have better luck flapping his arms and flying to the moon.

There is also no way you didn't understand that all along.

What *I* would like would be to see her,Bubba,and a whole BUNCH of other political creatures from both parties indicted,imprisoned,and in some cases,backed against a wall and shot for committing treason and selling their offices to the highest bidders.

Ain't going to happen though,no matter how hard I wish,so I am just going to have to be happy with any gains we can make to "Re-Americanize" America.

If that's true then we might as well turn out the lights and lock the door because the USA wee knew is dead and gone foreer.

It's true. Anybody that doesn't think so believes Cinderella was a documentary.

Do YOU seriously think the political leadership of the Dim Party OR the alleged Republican Party is going to ever allow senior members to be investigated and brought up on corruption charges? Slick Willie is the closest we ever came,and the Senators refused to even go to the room to look at the evidence.

I guess I'm just having trouble coming to grips with the idea that my country is dead.

I ain't  happy about it either,but anyone that takes a cold,unemotional look at what has been going on for the last 20 years or so HAS to come to the conclusion that America is nothing more than an illusion anymore,kept in place because certain people invested a lot of time and money into taking it over.

It is POSSIBLE for us to still get it back,but will we? I'd like to think so,but it's not something  I would bet on.

I hear you.  I'm having trouble as well.  You fought much longer and harder than I did.  People failed to listen and to understand.  I don't know if most people even realize that our country is lost and sadly, do they even care?

Anything is possible, but short of a miracle and Divine intervention, I see it as highly unlikely.

Depends how you choose to frame things. DID ANY OF YOU PAY FOR PARKS SERVICE. NO.  Give money to VETERANS?   NO.  YOU didn't spend YOUR MONEY...IT SAVED TAXPAYERS MONEY, NOT TO PAY FOR THOSE ITEMS.

Bigun.  Mitt Romney is helping destroy America. He violates ARTICLE 12 in ARTICLE OF FAITH.  LDS also support bringing in muslims, ILLEGALS.  So, lets all sing 'kum by ya".   LDS has compound in Mexico. Mitts dad was born there. Many still visit yearly on vacation.  ALL GLOBALISTS.

Not trying to butt in, butt your post makes me very curious. What is Article 12 in Article of Faith??  My husband grew up in Utah and for a period of time I worked with members of the LDS church up in Alaska.  I was always under the assumption that the LDS pretty much stuck together and was exclusionary.  Why would they allow Muslims and illegals??

Nope. Lets try this, and I said ALMOST one million. His salary yearly is 400 K plus 'perks.  So, lets say HE POCKETED his 800 K, and  still funded the Veterans , Parks Service, School system. etc.  We would have PAID again from government those amounts.   You and YOUR ABSURD POSTS.  lol

We did not fund, Parks service , Veterans, School with more government funds, So we "saved" paying that extra money.

You just refuse to give President TRUMP any credit.  800 thousand put in his pocket and OR  funding government AGAIN with that same amount,  We saved 800 K....does not matter how it was spent.

  IF IT WENT INTO HIS POCKET...YOU WOULD HAVE PAID FOR ALL THE REST.   It would have been double expense.

800 K for his salary,  (gone into his pocket so forget about that 800 K )  ADDITIONAL 800 K. funding those government agency's.   800 K salary expense. 800 K government agency expense.
