This is just the least creative theft. Board of Peace buy-in was $1 billion each. No public record even of how many counties paid it. Board of Peace subsequently bombed Iran.
It’s surprising how corrupt American politicians and the political system can be, while in Australia, a politician might be dismissed simply for failing to declare a bottle of wine.
He’s been that for a very long time.
It *includes* 1.776Bn. It’s is not limited to it.
Oh well
So, where’s he keeping all the money?
Thank your local MAGAs.
Americans are always bragging that they’re number one. So I’m sure that they are very pleased and excited to find out that they are number one in yet another thing.
“Now”
Wow, you mean to tell me a 34 count felon, adjudicated rapist who hasn’t faced any consequences would just continue to crime? Gasp!
The United States is such a fucking joke.
Finally, we’re first in something.
If the president is a kleptocrat, then the country is a kleptocracy. In this case a fascist kleptocrat oligarchy. Have fun with that, over there.
Almost Marvel Comics Universe evil. Now that I think about it, he is there.
somehow the executive branch runs the DOJ rather than the Judicial branch- one of the few mistakes by our founding fathers
Are here we still are.
From a design perspective, this lacks any elegance. Grift should at least have some visual integrity. This is just clumsy theft.
Worst president in history. No one will ever change my mind.
I am elderly but I am determined to live long enough to see this asshole get some consequences for his criminal actions.
Tabloid website
and yet nothing changes
What happens when you let the most criminal person you’ve ever seen in your life run the most powerful country in the world? Only good things, I’m sure.
Before 77m Americans voted him into office in 2024, trump was unanimously convicted of 34 felony fraud counts by a dozen jurors.
trump was a well known entity long before he was handed power. America is getting what it voted for. Want a decent government? Then build an intelligent, informed, decent electorate.
Just add it to the growing list. He collects these titles like boyscouts earning badges: rapist, fraudster, felon, adulterer, liar, war criminal….

If only we could have seen this coming..
funny part is, he wont pay them and pocket it.
You people know he’s the Antichrist, right? MF’er invented the world-class kleptocrats!
He’s not a world class anything
Am I the only one who thinks the majority of this money will find its way into his or his family’s pockets? The J-6ers who are prematurely celebrating their new found wealth ain’t gonna see shit.
It’s not an exaggeration. These are the kinds of things we would be born away if even Putin did. Could you imagine if there was a headline that Putin sued his own government 2 billion dollars for some joke case do he could then settle with himself and pay it cronies. It’s even absurd for the world standard kleptocrat, it’s on another level.
The biggest issue with this is that the IRS can never audit him or his family to court over tax issues so they may never pay taxes again since there is no consequences.
It’s what Americans wanted. They chose this with a majority.
Let em suffer and maybe they’ll learn their lesson. But history doesn’t suggest they will.
America is done, it’ll be someone else’s turn to dominate the planet for a century.
Can’t take it with you!
Sickening
He’s a con man and convicted criminal. Did anyone expect him to all of a sudden stop being a criminal while in office?
