One Shocking Thing Between Obama And Trump Just Came Out That Nobody Knew – This Is
INSANE!
When President Trump put his name in the hat to run for President, there were a lot of
accusations as to what he would possibly want that job for.
No one wanted to believe that he was doing it to make the country better, and they were
even less willing to consider that he didn't plan to have a direct financial gain from
his time in office.
Given, there are few people more synonymous with wealth than Donald Trump, however, it's
possible that he became wealthy due to his actual business sense and hard work, not by
back ally deals and greasing palms, the way many in Washington today do it.
The comparisons between our former Commander-in-Chief, Barry Obama, and his humble beginnings abounded.
Liberal America wanted to know that not a dime would go into a Republican's pocket,
however, they neglected to look at what was going into their precious Obama's pockets.
The comparison between the effect that being President had on the pocketbook of 44 and
45 tells a compelling story.
CNN Money reports that the Forbs Billionaire List is out, and not only has Trump not increased
in net worth he's decreased by over 200 spots, and his net worth has dropped by millions
of dollars since taking office:
"The Forbes 2018 Billionaires List is out — and it's bad news for President Trump.The
president has dropped more than 200 spots since last year to No. 766 on the list, where
he's tied with more than 20 others.
The magazine estimates his net worth at $3.1 billion, down from $3.5 billion last year.
Forbes said that Trump's fortune fell in part due to declining Manhattan real estate
values, as well as lower revenues at several Trump golf properties.
Amazon (AMZN) founder and CEO Jeff Bezos topped the list for the first time this year, according
to Forbes.
He's currently worth an estimated $112 billion, up $39.2 billion from 2017.
Forbes said that jump amounts to the biggest one-year gain ever — and that he's the
first person to top the list with a net worth of more than $100 billion.Bezos, who currently
has a 16% stake in Amazon, has benefited from the company's ballooning stock.
Amazon shares are up 31% so far this year, according to FactSet data.
Also in his portfolio is space venture Blue Origin and The Washington Post, which Bezos
bought in 2013 for $250 million.
Bezos' rise knocked Microsoft founder Bill Gates to the No. 2 spot, after Gates spent
four straight years on top.
Gates is worth an estimated $90 billion, up from $86 billion last year, according to Forbes.
The Bezos bump also pushed Warren Buffett down to No. 3.
Buffett is worth an estimated $84 billion.
All together, the billionaires on the list are worth $9.1 trillion.
Forbes identified a record 2,208 billionaires around the world in 2018, up from 2,043 last
year."
However, it's not just the net worth of President Trump that is in question.
According to Newsweek, we need to be keeping an eye on the Obama family if we want to know
who is making money while in public service:
"There are valid reasons to be concerned by a president's earnings, including after
their tenure in the Oval Office.
Where a former commander-in-chief earns his or her income–and the company they choose
to keep after serving as the leader of the free world–could speak to their basic values
in a way policies and legislation cannot.
So when some Americans, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, saw former President
Barack Obama accepting $400,000 speeches from Wall Street, signing book deals worth $65
million and vacationing with billionaires off the coast of Tahiti in a $300 million
yacht, you can bet they were perplexed.
How could it be that Obama, the smooth-talking Democratic candidate in 2008 who slammed Wall
Street greed and resonated with the working class in a way his party has since been unable
to authentically recreate, is living his post-presidential life like an elitist one-percenter?
Obama will receive an annual pension of over $200,000, after vetoing a bill passed by Congress
in 2016 that would have capped each former president's pension to that threshold.
He raked in $400,000–the equivalent to his annual presidential salary–for a 90-minute
interview Thursday in midtown Manhattan, where he spoke with a presidential historian on
things like income inequality and civic engagement.
He's set to earn another $400,000 for a 60-minute speech during a conference hosted
by the investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald.
And he doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon: Harry Walker Agency, which represents
the former president and his wife along the speaking circuit, is scheduling new appointments
for the Obamas every single week.
The Clintons, as well as former President George W. Bush, earned millions following
their time in the peoples' house, receiving six-figure checks for Wall Street speeches
and book tours.
But the Obamas are set to earn an unprecedented post-presidency income, and its alarming his
critics, supporters and other Democrats alike.
'I was troubled by that,' Warren said when she learned Obama was charging $400,000
for his upcoming speech.
'The influence of money, I describe it as a snake that slithers through Washington.'
But don't take her word for it: Obama once told his supporters he wasn't tied up in
corporate interests or the snake-like stronghold bankers and investment firms seem to have
over many elected officials in the U.S.
'I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street,'
Obama said in 2009.
Maybe that Obama should have a talk with 2017 Obama."
According to Time, When Obama was sworn in as president, he was worth somewhere between
$1 million and $5.1 million.
Now, his net worth is upwards of $12 million.
You don't have to be a mathlete to know that he did pretty well for himself.
The mainstream media wants to make President Trump out to be a greedy green-eyed monster,
but in reality, every month he is in office, he loses more money than most of us make in
a year.
