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

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!”
