For more than six years, the media have set out to destroy President Trump with lies. Now there's a report that Trump is profiting like no other president by getting paid for appearances. Really?

For more than six years, the media have set out to destroy President Trump with lies. Now I see a report that Trump is profiting like no other president by getting paid for appearances.

Here's the New York Times:

Selling Trump: A Profitable Post-Presidency Like No Other

In early December, Donald Trump put on a tuxedo and boarded the private jet of a scrap-metal magnate and crypto-miner for a short flight across Florida, touching down at an airport in Naples. There, a long red carpet marked the pathway into a Christmas-decorated hangar filled with supporters of Trump who had paid $10,000 to $30,000 for the privilege of attending a party and taking a photo with him.

But the money raised did not go to Trump's political operation. Instead, Trump's share of the evening's proceeds went straight into his pocket, according to a person familiar with the arrangement.

It's as if the journalists have never heard of the Clintons or the Obamas.

You answered your own question.... the deep state exists. It does not matter that liberals take their own news with a grain of salt, it does not matter that Joe Biden spent his entire campaign season hiding in his basement, it does not matter that the vast majority of the lefts lives were better under Trump than it had been in years...all that matters is theres an apparatus in place to overcome these conditions. This relies very little on the media anymore (have you seen the ratings?)...this is why youve seen the deep state more active than ever...the media is not pulling its weight. The DS is making up the difference.

Making a great living off being the former POTUS was pioneered by and perfected by, of all people, Jerry Ford.

These Propaganda Media outlets need to be fined and their korporate officers charged for every penny of their illegal political contributions-in-kind.

Wrong. The Clintons have no souls to sell.
