Making money with tax cuts is peanuts. 1% or 2% off a billion in profit is only in the tens of millions. Its something but not much. Cutting taxes is just a nice thing to do.

Trumps revenue increased by almost 500 million over the course of his presidential run. His business is dependent on his popularity and he became crazy popular.

Now the important thing is that he owns untapped billions in real estate. If he can fix the economy, people will start getting stable jobs. Once they start getting stable jobs they will start buying houses. When houses are back in demand he's going to make $ like no ones business.

And honestly I don't have a problem with that. If he used the election to get popular, good for him, rather a guy with like 140 IQ then lil Wayne the ape-like rapper. And if he's going to make money off housing because he fixed the economy then that's money damn well earned.

I don't have a problem with him making money. In fact I'm in favor of tax cuts as long as loop holes are eliminated.

What I'm saying here is that Trump refusing to take a salary is smoke and mirrors. It sounds like a generous thing to do, but he's doing it because he knows he's going to use his position to make even more money.

Sure, 1% or 2% is ONLY tens of millions (a year). but that's far, far more than the $400,000 he makes a year as president. I'm simply asking for some perspective here.
