Politicians, many of them come into the money. They come into power. They're middle-class people. They don't have a lot of money. And they go out millionaires, multimillionaires, many of them. How do you explain that? Oh, no, there is graft. I mean, that characterizes, well, finally we have a guy in office who that does characterize. Who's that? Donald Trump. You may have heard of him.

He won the election again. Yeah, but he had money before he came into office. He didn't come into government to make money. Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me? No, he didn't. First of all, in his first term, we thought, oh, this is as bad as it can get with the graft because he did things that no president ever done, like kept all his assets. People were staying.

Foreign dignitaries and leaders were staying at his hotels. That's outrageous. And then he upped that. He put out a meme coin and made $58 billion the day before he took office. All right, but he was a billionaire when he went into office. Yeah, well, we don't even know that because he's such a liar that we have no idea what he was.

He certainly acted rich, and he certainly was rich by any people's sentence. He had his own plane, but we don't know. I mean, he wouldn't release his taxes. He was rich, and he likes getting richer, and he has no qualms about enriching himself in this office. I'm just saying this is new, but it's not newβ In many other countries in the world, they say Putin is probably worth $40 billion.

We only get that from literally robbing the Treasury, when the Treasury and your personal bank account are basically the same thing. And potentates have done this all over the world, Asia, Africa, the Americas. We certainly have not been that country in general. There has been Grefg, never on that scale. Because those are the kind of people he likes, or autocrats like that.

But I don't think, for example, Xi in China does that. He doesn't need to. Why would he need to? He's the leader of China. He has his own plane. He has his own palace. You can't get richer than being the president. You cannot, even if the salary was zero, because everything is provided for you. And if you want to go somewhere, you get there faster than any other person in the world.

All right, well, let me ask you the difference. He came in as a wealthy guy. We're not counting his money, but we knew he was wealthy. What about Obama? He didn't come in wealthy. He didn't leave with that kind of wealth. He's worth, from what I'm hearing now, he's worth $100 million. I doubt if he's worth $100 million. That's what I heard. That's what I heard. That's what Trump says. Yeah.
