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

[martybegan]

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 paid what he wants. The Trump's family who have made billions off his cryptocurrency scams, 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.

meanwhile the left does the whole "We sue the government to get them do what we want" crap all the time, as well as "settling" with localities after they riot and break shit.

Where was your complaining then? ****-o?

 

[Concerned American]

I think I am literally going to be sick.

Please.

 

[struth]

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

Jesus, that’s corrupt.

The corruption was the fact he’s entitled to the money to begin with.

Why do you think the govt should be immune completely from civil liability? Very fascist of you

No more corrupt than the hundreds of millions of dollars that the democrats have wasted in the past eight years one their unhinged lawfare and scam impeachments and investigations into nothing resulting in nothing and NO EVIDENCE. The bill for their corruption is coming due.

 

[Mr Natural]

Grab your ankles, MAGAts!

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

The dumb ***** will be more than happy to turn over their money to their messiah.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Don't you ever stop bending over for Trump?

Somebody around here nailed it the other day...

 

[Harry Dresden]

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.

we hand our money over to whoever is in charge ever since taxes started...oh thats right this is about trump...sorry....

Depends on the political party of the plaintiff. Democrats preface all of their actions based on that.

I see no evidence that he has demanded this. He vaguely alluded to the lawsuit, but there was no evidence he demanded anything except from "sources familiar with the matter".

Well..technically, if he wins this...you also would have paid..twice..

 

[Concerned American]

Hmmm. IOW, no source. Thanks.

I see no evidence that he has demanded this.

Then you aren't looking. That doesn't make it everyone else's problem. it makes it your problem.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No, I didnt donate to the RNC or his campaign. I did not pay Trump's legal fees the first time.

No, doubt, you did.

Good.....that would be real justice

Hmmm. IOW, no source. Thanks.

Except for the public filings of his administrative complaints and Trump's own, public remarks.

Trump unilaterally deciding that he’s entitled to hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars is pretty ******* crazy.

He didn’t unilaterally decide he filed these claims in 2023 and 2024 you idiot

Thats less than a dollar per person. I will gladly pay that in order to make Trump whole again AND to piss off democrats. Id say its the best dollar of mine that the government has ever spent.
