Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout.

Justice Dept meanwhile has established the $1.7B slush fund to buy the pervert an army of 2028 election deniers to keep him out of prison. One thing about Trump, he’s good at spending other people’s money.

That’s all he got. No help with Iran, the opposite in fact. He was threatened to back off Taiwan, vague claims about buying Boeing planes, and was told the US is a declining nation, but he’s too stupid and arrogant to realize it was about him.

Slashing Climate, Weather and Ocean Research to Pay for 32 Hours of Iran War
While cuts to NOAA would substantially harm the agency’s work, the proposed “savings” of $1.6 billion is equivalent to the costs of 1.3 days of the war on Iran.

The orange felon’s $10B lawsuit against the IRS was already corrupt AF as it’s a scheme to steal from the US govt, but now he wants to settle that BS lawsuit by creating a nearly $2B slush fund to pay off his allies such as Jan 6 terrorists. He belongs in prison, not in the WH.

52% of voters believe the President started a war with Iran to change the subject from Epstein. Eighty-one percent of Democrats. Even half of independents. The posters in Washington have started calling it Operation Epstein Fury. A young man named Cody Khork died in it. The country has done the math
