Trump WHINING that he "gave up a lot of money" ($10 B) to "help others" with his $1.8 B Proud Boys Slush Fund.

Trump took to social media Friday to complain about the “absolute fortune” he allegedly forewent by dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded settlement designed to compensate those claiming to have been unfairly targeted by the Biden administration’s Justice Department.

“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

“I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune. Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!”

This empty suck-hole of want and need lamenting the loss of something that was never his and never earned .
He has never earned a single thing in his entire life, but is sure, in his dementia, that all belongs to him by virtue of his say so.

If the lawsuit had continued it would have eventually (probably very quickly) been thrown out. There was never a chance of him receiving even a single penny compensation for this lawsuit.

Trump WILL be back to take another bite of the Treasury apple in spite of any so-called settlement on “muh taxes!” and the Marred-Legos raid.

Because he is incapable of letting anything go.

It's set up in such a way that there'll be no oversight at all. If he doesn't get all or most of it personally, I'll eat brussel sprouts for a week.

Any MAGA that thinks a significant part of it is coming their way is probably still expecting their solid gold phone, a wall funded by Mexico and an affordable economy.
