WorldNetDaily’s Bob Unruh began a May 9 article with a rant about the previous president and a dubious comparison to the current one:
Congress already has investigated, and confirmed, that Joe Biden and his family took in tens of millions of dollars while he was vice president or president from what amounted to an influence peddling operation.
First Son Hunter Biden was part of the plans, and is described as repeatedly having sold access to his father to foreign interests.
Curiously, as that income pipeline no longer exists because the influence collapsed on Biden’s departure from the White House, there now are multiple reports that the family is looking for ways to start generating income.
President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has promised, like in his first term, to donate his presidential salary of $400,000 a year.
Unruh then got to his usual stenographic spin:
But none of that stopped reporters whose agenda was made clear at the White House from suggesting that Trump was profiting from his presidential term.
“I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service, not just once, but twice. And again, the American public re-elected him back to this White House because they trust he acts in the best interests of our country and putting the country first.
“This is a president who actually has lost money for being president of the United States.
“I don’t remember these same type of questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office.”
Unruh won’t report, however, that Leavitt is lying. Trump made $2.4 billion during his first term as president — and far surpassing the value of the salary he donated. That grifting has continued with his second term, with he and his family eager to cash in on his government actions and his selling access to the White House to people who buy his sketchy meme coin.
Looks like Trump is doing much better at profiting off the White House than the Bidens could have ever dreamed. But Unruh won’t tell you that because WND, like the Media Research Center, is Trump Regime Media.
