Ya gotta hand to the old mango makeup man. He just keeps setting new records.
Every day president donald j. felon* keeps raising the bar — especially in finding ways to benefit himself and his loved ones, if he truly loves anyone but himself.
The man who didn’t actually write “The Art of the Deal” negotiated a deal with himself, i.e., the government of which he is the head, to create a $1.8 billion fund, drawn from our taxes, “designed to compensate allies of the president who claim they were mistreated by the Biden Justice Department.” In case it’s not clear, those “allies” riot on his behalf at the Capitol.
The availability of that “Anti-Weaponization Fund” money has already got the sharks circling, with such notables as Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and pillow man Mike Lindell saying they deserve a piece of the slush fund. [A previous version of this column incorrectly said QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley wanted to be compensated from the fund; Chansley does not, but is suing the president for $40 trillion.]
I hope they realize just what their lord and savior more than likely intends to do with all that money, since the funds are designed to doled out by a specially chosen five-person commission that the convicted felon acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will appoint.
We’ve seen what the elderly golfer is like when there in even a whiff of money around, so it is safe to assume that he will be the beneficiary of most if not all of the $1.8 billion.
Because … why not?
Tucked into that agreement to “compensate” those who smeared feces on the walls of the Capitol Building was another eye-popping agreement.
The adjudicated rapist got his government to agree to permanently ban “the IRS from ever examining President Trump’s prior tax returns or those of his sons, his company, or any affiliated trust,” PBS reported.
And if that is not enough — for the grifter-in-chief there is no ceiling — it was revealed that more than 3,700 stock trades were made under the president’s name in companies “like Meta, Amazon, and Disney, among others worth up to around $750 million in just the first three months of this year.”
As PBS reported, that is “on top of crypto ventures tied to the Trump family that have reportedly made more than $1 billion in profits so far.”
How much is a gallon of gas where you live?
People said that this real estate/reality show con artist was just running for president to stay out of jail.
Maybe that was true at a time before the corrupt Supreme Court ruled that he pretty much was immune for everything. That and the inability of Congress to say “no” to him.
So he decided that the time was right to literally cash in and become the all-time most corrupt politician in the history of the world.
Keep setting those records, donnie. It’s what you’ve shown you’re good at.

I cannot believe that Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, saw fit to commute the sentence of crooked election denying Tina Peters. What a jerk.
