‘I’m cool with it if the American people are prospering, but…’
A prominent commentator who made his name in sports and now has branched out is openly wondering how presidents get so rich while in office, “serving” the American public.
It is Stephen A. Smith who is documented at Fox News for “offering criticism of the multi-million-dollar net worths of two recent former presidents.”
He charged that he has no problem with presidents getting rich while Americans are prospering.
He explained he also was addressing President Donald Trump, who already was worth billions before being elected.
“I don’t give a damn what money politicians slide into their own pockets from time to time,” Smith said on a podcast. “If the American people are prospering, get yours. It’s a capitalistic society.”
He explained “I’ll confess something to ya’ll. Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas. Grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell him and the Clinton Foundation is worth hundreds of millions of dollars beat me.”
Further, Smith, who says he’s been approached by Democrats about running for office, added, “Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the president of the United States and, last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000, if I remember correctly,” Smith said. “I got to double check that,” he added. “How the hell you depart from office worth over $200 million?”
