Trump wants $230,000,000.00 from the US taxpayer.

[JLW]

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice Department.

***********************************************************************************
Given that the Trump Administration is an open sewer of corruption, it is no surprise that he wants 1/4 billion from us. Trump has his sycophants in place, so he will be paid what he wants. The Trump family which has made billions off his cryptocurrency scams also has an insatiable appetite for more money. The monetization of the presidency continues. Trump's greed has no bounds.

Let's face it. The US we knew is no longer. We live in a kleptocracy.

OF course you do! Don't worry it'll come out of your pocket. The only difference is, you're thrilled to hand over your money to Trump! Too bad it has to come out of the pockets of real hardworking Americans pockets as well.

What does this tell you. Democrat corruption has cost Trump AND the taxpayers who were FORCED to fund this lie. STFU, you reap what you sowed.

Grab your ankles, MAGAts!

You paid his legal fees. Now you get to pay twice!

There are hard workers in NY? Do tell?

If it were a lie, then Trump wouldn't have had to run for office to stay out of prison.

 

[Concerned American]

It already did come out of our pockets, Einstein---when the corrupt Biden admin exercised lawfare for four solid years.

I am more skeptical that he paid them to begin with.

 

[Concerned American]

Don't you ever stop bending over for Trump?

Don't you ever stop with the faux justification of the weaponization of the justice dept. for political purposes?

 

[JLW]

I am more skeptical that he paid them to begin with.

That is the thing. His attorney fees came from his donors. The donors don't get the refund; Trump does! What a scam!

 

[elektra]

Hahaha, look look look, Trump

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I am more skeptical that he paid them to begin with.

He didnt. He used campaign funds and RNC funds.

 

[JLW]

He didnt. He used campaign funds and RNC funds.

The question is, where does this $230,000,000.00 figure come from? It was most likely pulled out of his ass. Does it even matter? Trump could ask for a billion dollars, and he would most likely receive it, and his minions would say he deserves more.

Sadly it’s not uncommon for the govt to be sued and settle lawsuits

Trump filed these claims back in 2023 and 2024…xiden stonewalled justice

So you’re okay with the president having the government give him hundreds of millions of dollars.

Jesus, that’s corrupt.
