So republican, profiting off of someone else's work.flock together!
What he should have is an award for losing money as a 'successful' business person.If his papa didn't give him a lot of money we would have never heard of him.
Tissue?WASHINGTON — As President Donald J. Trump’s tenure came to an end, the chief White House photographer, who had traveled the world with him and spent countless hours inside the White House snapping pictures, notified Mr. Trump’s aides that she intended to publish a book collecting some of her most memorable images.This was hardly a radical idea: Official photographers from every White House since President Ronald Reagan’s have published their own books. Barack Obama and George W. Bush were so supportive that they wrote forewords for them.But like so much else involving Mr. Trump, the plan by his chief photographer, Shealah Craighead, did not follow this bipartisan norm. First, aides to Mr. Trump asked her for a cut of her book advance payment, in exchange for his writing a foreword and helping promote the book, according to former associates of Mr. Trump. Then Mr. Trump’s team asked Ms. Craighead to hold off on her book project to allow the former president to take Ms. Craighead’s photos and those of other White House staff photographers and publish his own book, which is now selling for as much as $230 a copy.That the profits from Ms. Craighead’s labor are now going into Mr. Trump’s pocket . . . in dealing with Ms. Craighead, Mr. Trump appears to have become the first former president to try to make money from a book planned by a former White House photographer . . .

It's not illegal. They're in the public domain.* Just so pathetically low and tawdry. The hell is a guy who claimed he's worth north of $10,000,000,000 need to siphon off cash from her work? To cut in line to rip the first batch of profits?
There are a trillion reasons to vote against Trump, not the least being his attempt to overthrow American democracy and install himself as unelected leader. But sometimes the small stuff says just as much.
How can you look at things, even smaller things like this, and think "yeah, I want a lying cheating asshole to lead this country. That's how we should present ourselves to the world: work with us and we'll **** you as hard as we can"? Any time you look, he's doing something sleezy. Any time. They love him for it.

About what I expected from a trumper.Tissue?
Not to mention the $413 million he inherited.He had a "small" loan of $1,000,000 and there's no way it was repaid in anything but name.

You'd think people would get a clue.
Not to mention the $413 million he inherited.
Decades of Trump’s inheritance fail to explain how he’s funding mysterious cash purchases

If he'd remained a Democrat we'd never have heard of him either.If his papa didn't give him a lot of money we would have never heard of him.
Another point in favor of Democrats.If he'd remained a Democrat we'd never have heard of him either.
He is, however in the process of getting quite a bit of it back thanks to his supporters, you know, the ones that believe he actually gives a shit about them.This dude has lost more than $1 billion dollars ...........
