Actually?
They ALL do after they leave office…
Of course the Trump family did it while Daddy was IN office and the Supreme’s said it’s ok….
The emolument’s clause in the Constitution ain’t worth shit…..
We’re gonna see the Donald and family show attempt to rake in YUGE ton’s of money….(Dumb people have kept donating money to rich gut that spent only eight grand on this years campaign and hasn’t taxes in years)
Donald is gonna need it…
He owe the feds and New York tax money and the bank’s I hear about a hall billion dollars….
Oh, he’s gonna be paying lawyer and women that he ‘s being sued by for hands problems….
Heck, he might have to pay his wife divorce settlement money also, eh?
President Trump will continue to draw huge crowds when he’s out of office — and can expect huge fees to speak to them.
The 45th President of the United States will easily receive $1 million, and likely more, for speeches in the US, TMZ reported. He could rake in even more overseas, the site maintained, citing bookers who help celebrities get such deals. The president can also expect first-class digs, and likely some golf trips thrown in. So far, it doesn’t appear that any talent agencies have signed any members of the family yet, but with the president staring down at least $400 million in personally guaranteed debt, he’ll welcome the cash flow. Trump and his family members claim the presidency cost the family “a fortune.”
Politicians frequently earn significant sums on the speaking circuit when they’re out of office. The millions Hillary Clinton took in from speeches to the likes of Goldman Sachs was a major issue during the 2016 campaign. That could raise concerns for Trump if he decides to run again in 2024.
The demand will extend to the first lady and the president’s kids, whose roles in the campaign and administration raised their profiles…

The word is “monetize” or “monetise” (depending on U.S. vs British spelling)
Yea DSD….
That IS how I spelled it first ….
But the Apple Safari spell check tend’s to crawl back to the British spelling….
Flavor turns into Flavour everytime….or Color to Colour
But your headline reads “moneyrise”
Thank you for your patience ….
Change made….
There will be pressure on the GOP to hold any and all events on Trump properties.
Yup Scott….
We’ll see how long….
I do not think it will be long though…
I predict being a “Trump Republican” will be a rally cry in GOP primaries for years to come.
As a joke Right Scott?
YEA! for the LOSER!….
Great campaign slogan!
CG (and perhaps Scott) would be far more able than I to expound on this, but my impression is that while Republican candidates and officials almost certainly benefitted within the G.O.P. party’s ranks (at least outside Rockefeller territory) from being identified as Goldwater Republicans, there was far less incentive to be thought of as a (Joe) McCarthy Republican or a Nixon Republican — even though much of the rank and file still quietly revered Tail-Gunner Joe and/or Tricky Dick.
I agree Scott. Even after Trump lost, Republicans still can’t bring themselves to say so. They just cannot break free of his ownership, and most haven’t even tried to do so. Just as most Republicans would struggle to win in 2016, 2018 and 2020 without embracing Trump, that will likely happen again in 2022 and perhaps 2024.
And there is a very real possibility that a Trump will be on the ticket again in 2024.
Good to hear from ya Z
I have long said that Trump would remain a major figure in the Republican Party even after a defeat.
Observing the pitiful obsequiousness of the Republicans in Congress and among the leadership of the party has simply reinforced my view.
