President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the federal government owes him “a lot of money” for prior Justice Department investigations into his actions and insisted he would have the ultimate say on any payout because any decision will “have to go across my desk.”

    He’s saying clearly, he can cut a check to himself. With taxpayer money. It’s all kosher. Right?

        What’s wild is that growing up I was told this is exactly what democrats do and why they want to raise taxes. I don’t have much good to say about the DNC but I’ve never seen corruption as blatant as this before from any politician on the national level in this country.

        The same bunch of idiots that even now like to parrot bullshit about how he doesn’t even get paid. “He donates his salary!” Halo implied. 👼

        Like this assfuck is doing it for the altruism and for the good of the land, and not doing it to keep his ass out of prison and to self-deal like a motherfucker.

        You’d have to be in a cult to have such delusions, but they are definitely in a cult. If this dumbass told them to cut off their nuts because they are all gonna ride a comet soon, you can bet a non-zero amount of them would definitely do it.
