There’s so much going on that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the president is telling so many lies.
Here’s a fact check of 28 different false claims President Donald Trump made from Monday through Friday. https://t.co/K0hfbxA7TS
This week:
-President Trump settled a lawsuit he brought against the IRS
-Created a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay his allies
-Got the IRS to drop any investigations or audits of him or his family and businesses
-And we learned he traded 3,700+ stocks this year
And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.
They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.
Dear @WhiteHouse and @RapidResponse47: Please retweet the below statement from trump that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.”
He said “That’s a perfect statement. I’d make it again.”
So help him make it again.
Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES.
With your tax dollars.
The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls…
…hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress…
…assaulted cops.
He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them.
Disgusting.
Donald Trump cannot get away with suing the IRS for $10 billion and then settling with a DOJ *he* oversees for a $1.7 billion slush fund dedicated to granting his allies payouts.
This is absolutely unconstitutional and unethical. https://t.co/VccxB7vyCm
Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses.
Just absolutely staggering corruption.
Reporter: Yesterday the president said, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." Is that the right message?
Mike Johnson: I don't know the context in which he made that comment.
***WHY WOULD CONTEXT EVEN MATTER???***
$10 billion for a “settlement.”
$1 billion for the ballroom.
A $400 million palace in the sky.
Millions for his arch.
Trump gets all that — while millions of Americans lose health care.
Insanity.
A $1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery veterans oppose.
Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, eviscerating tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon. How can they defend this?
They can’t. Because, it’s indefensible.
