Trump's ballroom donors include:

-Google, whose CEO thanked Trump for "resolution" of an antitrust case
-Palantir, which has lucrative contracts with ICE
-Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, who would profit from Trump's regulatory rollbacks for private equity

Pay-to-play.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

The Trump regime has an incredibly sophisticated and widespread propaganda machine behind it—from Fox News to techno-fascist owned social media—yet it’s still losing the messaging war, because no amount of propaganda will ever overcome the constant stream of lies and shit they’re spewing every day.

Would that be a charitable foundation like the ones he ran in NY where he used the money for himself? If his lips are moving, he’s lying.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

First he shook down schools, businesses, and his own supporters. Now he's demanding a $230 million apology from the literal Justice Department.

Report: Trump demands taxpayers hand him $230 million

Is it still "ridiculous that anyone would even suggest" that he's cashing in?

Without the authority to do so, he’s demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House. Every major Democratic voice should be pounding him & his enablers. Any Democrat thinking about running for president in 28 should pledge to bulldoze Trump’s fucking ballroom if elected.

Meet the moment Dems.

I always thought Trump would model himself after Jho Low in Malaysia and walk off with money from the treasury. Trump isn’t even subtle about it.

Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.”

We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. Our bad.

So that chump, trump is demanding 230 million dollars from the DOJ for investigating his crime spree, which he was convicted on 34 counts of?
And his destruction of the "People's House" is costing 210 million? I smell bullshit, truckloads of bullshit...

He may be demolishing one of the most iconic structures in American history…

But on the bright side, the billionaires he gave massive tax cuts to will have a nice ballroom to dance in.

You’re not invited, though. 🫤

And your healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket. 🤷‍♂️
