Haha fair point. But I guess that is politics, promise the world and then delivery a tiny percent of it once elected.
I think what makes him unusual is his personal grift off the office of the presidency. I wonder what people would think if there was an Obama coin or Bush coin that they released and pump/dumped onto their followers. Or if Obama or Bush took billions from foreign countries after their presidency.
I understand politicians often take financial advantage of their power, but this seems to be unusually brazen and half the country just doesn't seem to mind.

I love the pictures and can appreciate the sentiment.
It would be nice if we lived in a utopia where government didn't exist, everyone played fairly, countries/peoples didn't invade each other to steal resources, etc...
Maybe one day that world will exist, but I don't think I'll get to see it in my lifetime. I think the digital space gives some of us that freedom to operate without borders and without these governmental imposed restrictions, but in meat space most of us must adhere to rules or face the state monopoly on violence.
