Trump wants $230 million from the Department of Justice for their investigations into him

Well that's a hot take from the supposed billionaire. He says that the DOJ investigations under the Biden administration "harmed" him when in reality he would have 100% been convicted if he went to trial for the January 6 riot incitement and the classified documents cases. The only reason he wasn't was because he won't the 2024 election and presidents can't be prosecuted. But aside from that--what a bad look. Even Republicans are saying that it is a bad idea and terrible optics when the government is shut down and Americans are still facing high prices due to inflation and Trump's stupid tariffs not to mention the impending huge hike in health care costs in coming months. Trump is claiming that he would donate the $$ to charity. HAHAHAHAHAHA Trumps were fined for running a fake charity. Trump will funnel that money right into his bank account. That proposed judgement would literally be paid by Americans. Trump is hoping to sue the DOJ to get $230 million for himself while the government is shut down, Americans are struggling, etc? Who could possibly support this? He is going to take hundreds of millions from struggling Americans for his stupid complaints about legitimate cases against him? Give me a break.

Every piece of news about Trump is worse than the other. Today I read that he was destroying the White House to make a giant ballroom. After the gold in the Oval Office I think that this is the worst.

It makes me sick to look at the pictures of the White House being destroyed.

@njchicaa I keep coming back to the fact that those who voted for him knew exactly what he is like - and yet they voted for him!!!!! Turkeys voting for Thanksgiving.

He needs that money so that he can pretend that he is paying with "HIS" money for the ballroom.

What a joke. And now he's demolishing the East Wing to build a better ballroom. What an idiot.
