So it sounds doubtful that this will be going directly into his pocket.

Link?

As I said, I heard it speculated by a couple folks yesterday...I don't remember specifically who. And this speech is not for a couple months anyway...so I'm sure we'll here the details eventually if that's the case.

So it is pure speculation?

Pretty much like all the Trump stuff, yes. Speculation passes as news these days as well it seems.

Well...I did clearly say speculation. Which again is all we have because he has not given the speech yet nor received the money as far as anyone knows.

Did anyone actually expect a liberal to practice what they preach? Very, very few of them do what they what others to do. Bernie only pays 13% in taxes. Di Caprio and Gore fly via private jet. Hell, Trump's daughter flies commercial. I could go on.

Still? Which one?

There was a report early on of Ivanka doing this, but from what I remember she no longer does.

After some lefty attorney and his husband went after her verbally on her on a commercial flight with infant in tow and got tossed from the plane, you'd blame her?

She may not now since she's been verbally assaulted on a commercial plane, but she clearly flew commercial prior to that incident.

Right, not directly... It will go to his foundation and then to his pocket.

Look I'm fine with him doing this and making a mint. Being president is an absolutely hellish job. It's non stop stress and work that ages you terribly.

So if he wan'ts to make 400K speaking to wall street fat cats I don't care if it's to line his pocket, stroke his ego (library), or donate to orphans. It's his time.

But stop pretending this is anything different than the Clinton foundation footing the Bill for Chelsea's wedding.

I highly doubt he takes any salary or payment from his foundation.

And from what I've read, there is no proof at all that the foundation paid for Chelsea's wedding.

Is this naivety intentional? You don't think they will fly him around, provide him with trips and perks that costs 10's of thousands (if not more)..

There are emails where someone mentions it may come up as an audit finding...

No. If he's taking trips it would be on the business of the foundation...receiving contributions, or doing the work of the charity.

The foundation is a public charity...all the financials and tax return will be made public.

This notion that he's some money grubber are just sour grapes and really need to be shelved until there's a reason for them. And trust me, if he pockets this whole speaking fee or takes money directly from his foundation, I'll be outraged right along with you. If you're being honest, he deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point.
