QotD – Crooked Politicians
Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook. – Harry Truman
Harry Truman was an honest politician. He left the White House without a fortune and refused to profit off the Presidency by accepting positions on corporate boards. Presidents since then, especially Democrats? Not so much. The only President since Truman that left office poorer than when he entered it was Donald Trump. Whatever failing you may think Trump may have had, profiting from political office was not one of them.
