Eight years ago, Trump was railing against Hillary Clinton for giving high-paid speeches after leaving government.

The amount he pulled in from speaking blows her fees out of the water. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/14/trump-clinton-speaking-fees/

The staggering scale of Donald Trump’s speaking fees

The former president is making a lot of money giving speeches to allies at his own properties.

@pbump A million bucks to hear Trump talk about himself and complain about everyone else. Sounds like a lousy ROI there.

@Helchose @pbump these are paybacks for what he did while in office for them.

At this point in history we know that everything he and the rest of the #GOP accuse others of is basically telling us what they are doing in the full light of day.

@pbump Hypocrisy has been the hallmark of his years in the spotlight and I hope that gets pointed out over and over in the history books.

@pbump #BigMassiveDumps doesn't "speak". They has two settings: "bad standup routine" and "ranting lying lunatic".

@pbump A tyrant uses "fact" as tools to manipulate the emotions of their followers. A "neutral" observer who tries to use facts against the tyrant only fights shadows. It's the emotions and the reactions that matter. Please evaluate the tyrant based on those criteria.
