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.”
Remember the morons applauding his good character, his generosity, and his incorruptibility when he said he wouldn’t take the Presidential salary because he wasn’t doing this for money. Just to be clear, that salary is 400k/yr. $230 million is 575 years worth of Presidential salary. Even if the presidential salary had always been 400k since George Washington’s first term, Trump would be taking more than twice the money ever paid out to all presidents combined with this one payment. For the offense of… being investigated. For justified suspicion of, and even verified in some cases, crimes and corruption. Jesus H Fucking Christ.
Weirdly enough, that “privately funded” ballroom they’re building is almost $230m. You know, the one Trump said he’d build and pay for himself?
Can we piss in his new ballroom when it’s finished?
You can, but you won’t be the first.
