Taxpayers to possibly pay $10 billion to Trump

[Matted Joybeard]

Trump's lawyers and lawyers for the Department of Justice, which Trump oversees, are reportedly in talks settle Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury, both of which are also under the executive branch, for supposed damage due to an illegal leak of the president's confidential tax returns. Any settlement funds would be taxpayer funded. Trump claims he would donate the funds to charity. If that were to happen, it would in effect be a forcible donation by taxpayers to a charity of his choice. If not, it would be a transfer of wealth into Trump's (already a billionaire) pocket.

How do we feel about this?

There are no "negotiations," Trump is on both sides of the table. Just another instance of the most corrupt administration in American history robbing the taxpayers blind.

Republicans will cheer and remind everyone he deserves it.

Remember when their catchphrase was he is not taking any salary? The salary is nothing compared to what he has been legally stealing.

What exactly, in detail, is Trump "legally stealing?"

How exactly is Trump "robbing the taxpayers blind?" What about the roughly 50% of the population paying little to no taxes at all?

Look at how his wealth has increased in the past year, more specifically, look at how it increased.

Get busy and start Googling, son.

Whataboutism strikes again.

Dear Leader can do no wrong.

The One Big Shitty Bill's project of shrinking the tax base as much as possible does seem shortsighted now that you mention it.

I hope he gets the full 10 billion. Would never have happened but for democrat lawfare. More to come. Democrats are making him a very rich man and he deserves every nickel.

$10B? LOL.

Trump starting at the far high end again in negotiations.

The lawsuit, which stated that Trump was suing in his personal capacity and not as president, also named two of Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization as plaintiffs. The complaint alleged “reputational and financial harm” as well as “public embarrassment” from the leak, which led to The New York Times reporting that Trump had paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.

Is it a negotiation when you are on both sides of the negotiating table? Who is representing tax payers in this scenario? Definitely not the IRS which trump controls.

No, specifically, what has he stolen? You made the claim, you provide the evidence. If he "stole" something, did you inform the police/FBI?

He never keeps anything like that. Right back to veterans or children. He does a lot of good un-published.

He chould probably pull enough to cover his lawyer costs out of it but he won't. Harassed fo 10 years.

See? His graft and corruption has widespread support amongst the slobbering class.

LOL.

Naivete of an ignorant foreigner.

The drunk won't do anything about it, because Kash is a rodent grifter, too.

Trump should just cut to the chase and set up a Go Fund Me for this. I'm sure the Trumpsters could tithe $10B, given what an innocent victim he has been.
