[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Greed: like $60 million dollars for 2 books?

How does that make sense?[/quote]

I don't consider Obama's book deal "greed." He didn't make that money by denying anyone health care, or denying that air pollution is causing the earth's atmosphere to heat up.

Trump is the worst of the worst: A stingy rich person. He's constantly selling himself and looking for a way to make a buck. He's renting space in Trump Tower to the Federal Government, ie you and me, so the SS can protect him and his family. He's not donating the space. He charges the SS to stay at Mar A Lago and his other clubs while they are protecting him. He continues to profit every single day from expanding his brand.... This is old news.

OP is correct that it's all fueled by greed.

Trump is a salesman. He convinced the greedy stupid voters that they, too, can get rich, if they vote for him. They are too stupid to see how empty his promises are. They are greedy too, OP, all of them. They want jobs and good healthcare and their old lifestyles back, and Trump told them he'd bring back coal jobs and manufacturing jobs and ditch NAFTA, and, morons that they are, they believed him. They are greedy too.

The greedy smart voters knew Trump would help them screw the public by eliminating protections for consumers, lowering taxes for the rich, getting rid of regulations so corporations and rich folks can make more and more money. They knew what they were getting when they voted for Trump, and yes, it's all about greed. [/quote]

Seems to me several other celebrities/politicians have gotten hefty book advances into the 8 figure range - and Obama's prior two books had huge sales numbers well into the millions of copies, exceeding sales of most other celebrity/politician authors.  I have no issue with it.[/quote]
