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 administrations 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!

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.

Because he is incapable of letting anything go.

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.
