He forms committees and boards filled with toadies and oligarchs who are sure to rubber stamp whatever he wants.
This is our country--not his.

NPR reported about his two lawsuits.

A reporter asked him if the money from his IRS suit would come from taxpayers.
He said yesterday but “we give charities $40B a year anyway”

NPR added, “We don’t know where he got that number from”

ten billion dollars more.

That's today.

If he leaves office, they'll find he has claimed the entire treasury, that we're stone cold broke because he's funneled it into his bank accounts.
