Donald Trump's administration is under fire for a proposed $1.8 billion fund for lawsuit resolution, potential self-dealing in business deals, and leveraging his presidency for personal financial gain through various ventures.
Donald Trump is reportedly reconsidering a $1.8bn fund for allies after facing legal challenges and political backlash, including from within his own party. The fund, intended to compensate victims of politicized prosecutions, has been temporarily blocked by a judge and criticized as a "Maga slush fund."
The article criticizes the mainstream media for its lack of sustained coverage of Donald Trump's alleged "disastrous second presidency," suggesting that his "shocking excesses and corruption" are "priced in" and treated as "Trump being Trump." It highlights specific instances like the "anti-weaponization fund" and the shielding of Trump's tax history, which are downplayed by major news outlets.
Donald Trump's administration is reportedly creating a $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to compensate allies, following a lawsuit against the IRS. The fund, described as secretive and controlled by Trump, also requires the IRS to drop audits of Trump and his family. Critics decry it as bald self-dealing and corruption.
Concerns are rising over a potential $10bn settlement for Donald Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, which could involve taxpayer funds to compensate alleged "victims" of the Biden administration, including January 6 rioters.
