  1. I bet that even the money he "actually donated" was made up for by the accounting office as reimbursement for expenses or something else vague and corrupt. If he were a real Billionaire he would live in his Palm Beach mansion they way the other Palm Beach Billionaires do. Instead he rents his place out as a "Club/Resort/Hotel". If you were a Billionaire would you rent out a spare bedroom as an AirBandB? Would you let hundreds strangers come over every day to use your pool and eat in your dining room to make a few bucks? When he bought it he wanted an impressive mansion, but he knew he couldn't afford to maintain the place. He tried to convert the place to houses/condos for sale but was turned down by the Town of Palm Beach, so he formed the Club to pay the expenses of owning the house. Not what any other Billionaire needs to do.

  2. I have been saying this for years. It made no sense that a man who gave zero to charity and put his entire family on the federal payroll would leave a single dime on the table ever. I am sure he got every penny he could grab while in office. I would like to see verification that the painting he "borrowed" from the Federal Gallery (to replace the painting that he took from the US Ambassador's residence in Paris, but later learned was a copy) was returned. I think it was a portrait of Ben Franklin. When he moverd out of the White House he may have taken it with him. I bet he kept the original but if caught will claim he "thought" he only had the copy.
