With all the focus on President Trump and his legal woes, the question arises: How did Trump get rich? And how did the Democrat elites persecuting him now get rich?

Let's start with the Clintons:

How did the Clintons get rich?

The Clintons took no risk, made no investments, and didn't borrow money. Nope, they just used Hillary's powerful position slurping from the public trough to sell access to all comers, for huge amounts of money. 
 

See here:

Clintons charge big fees to small groups

...and...

 

Clinton's cash for access diplomacy

Clinton ran a pay-to-play program at the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State.

 

The media and Justice Department didn't care about this corruption any more than they cared about her mishandling of classified documents, destroying documents and computers, obstructing justice, or perpetuating a massive fraud in the 2016 election with the Russian dossier. 

 

Now let's move on to the Obamas.

 

How did the Obamas get rich?

 

Without going through Congress, Obama used the FCC in 2015 to implement net neutrality which he claimed was meant to help the little guy but it saved the big users of bandwidth on the internet huge amounts of money because they didn't have to reimburse the internet providers for their investments. 

 

Network neutrality, often referred to as net neutrality, is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all Internet communications equally, offering users and online content providers consistent rates irrespective of content, websiteplatformapplication, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication (i.e., without price discrimination)

The biggest users of internet bandwidth are Google, Netflix, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, who consume more than 43% of the bandwidth, so those huge companies got huge savings because of Obama's actions. Trump got rid of net neutrality and Biden is trying to bring it back

 

Democrats love to pretend they write policies for the little guy but they essentially are puppets for big companies. Google essentially had an office at the White House during the Obama, Biden years.

Google’s Remarkably Close Relationship With the Obama White House

Over the past seven years, Google has created a remarkable partnership with the Obama White House, providing expertise, services, advice, and personnel for vital government projects.

Precisely how much influence this buys Google isn’t always clear. But consider that over in the European Union, Google is now facing two major antitrust charges for abusing its dominance in mobile operating systems and search. By contrast, in the U.S., a strong case to sanction Google was quashed by a presidentially appointed commission.

As soon as Obama was out of office, the Obamas were rewarded with a huge contract with Netflix, despite having no product and no experience.

Obama Netflix deal explained

After completing their two terms as president and first lady, Barack and Michelle Obama have signed up for some pretty lucrative projects.

The first, announced in February 2017, was a joint deal worth an estimated $65 million to publish their memoirs.

On a related note:
 
The media and prosecutors are now worried about who is paying Trump's legal bills on their multiple witch hunts.    
 

Trump PAC has spent more than $40 million on legal costs this year for himself, others

Donald Trump’s political group is financing legal work that has prompted questions from prosecutors about potential conflicts of interest

    
 
I bet the media and prosecutors aren't worried at all about where Hunter is getting his money to pay all his high-paid lawyers or any potential conflicts of interest since they don't seem to care about anything Joe or Hunter do.

Politics has a lot of similarities with college football. Nobody cares about THEIR team’s corruption. Only the other teams are corrupt.

A reporter asking good questions. Every politician needs to go thru this type of research. Voters need to know. Unfortunately America is suffering from a lack of inquisitive journalists.

Obama got rich by never having a job, being a “community organizer,” then being a Senator for 143 days, becoming President, and lending his and his wife’s wisdom to shows about home economics and historical documentaries for Netflix.

Easy peasy.

The plan is to ensure the next generation of Trumps are no longer rich. How many billions has DJT’s patriotism and sense of duty already cost him?

Key is: “How they MADE their money.” “Made” being the key word here. As opposed to being ‘gifted’. Just saying.

Holding a national elected office turns one into a money magnet. Cash, real estate and pricey hide always just magically appear in your name. They all do it so nobody talks about it. Trump made his fortune the old fashioned way; he worked for it before he was elected. As its working out, being president has cost him money.

Pecker puss Pelsoi was running the same scam. Paul Pelosi was hoovering money selling influence across the world. John F-ing Kerry too.

To quote a long dead Democrat President:
“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.”
― Harry Truman
I think President Truman, my favorite Democrat president answered that question very well.
Clinton, Obama & Biden have never ever been anything except politicians

Trump is the only one out of the group that actually did anything to earn his money. Trump was a businessman who actually created things and added value to the economy. The Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens all got their money as a corrupt perk of their government offices through the time honored manner of kickbacks and sweetheart deals like these ghost written “book deals” that the democrats love to use to launder money.

Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens not only get rich from their underhanded political schemes but they evade prosecution while Trump gets assaulted by government mafia. Equal justice under the law my ass!

And yet the article never mentions Gyorgy Schwartz or how he got rich, which was when he turned his fellow Jews over to the nazis during World War Two, along with manipulating currencies and almost bankrupting many countries.

Bilious Clintonus sold American MIRV technology and the tech for improving China’s space rocketry to China and China leapfrogged in development of ICBMs by 10 years instantly and set China on a faster continuing development course.
