Trump whines that seeking to 'help others' is costing him 'absolute fortune'
President Donald 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!”Despite Trump’s claim that he could have “settled” his case for an “absolute fortune,” the presiding judge in the matter – before Trump dropped his suit – expressed heavy skepticism over the case’s merits, and may very well have thrown out the suit. Nevertheless, Trump congratulated himself for instead seeking to “help others” with the creation of the new $1.776 billion fund, which Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted this week may issue payouts to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters who were convicted of assaulting police officers.

Trump’s latest early-morning grievance session reveals what he’s really worried about
President Donald Trump used his executive time Friday morning in an hours-long Truth Social session, attacking late night television hosts and a Republican senator while pushing two of his primary agenda issues and celebrating the rising stock market.His posts paint a president securing the Republican future and vanquishing his enemies. But his targets suggest a president focused on threats, real and perceived. “Stop playing games and pass the Save America Act!” Trump wrote, seemingly out of nowhere Friday morning, ignoring the tumult and GOP anger his $1.8 billion “weaponization” fund and $1 billion White House ballroom security request had, disrupting vital funding legislation this week. The Save America Act is — at least at the moment — effectively dead in the Senate, and not on the list of the majority leader’s top priorities. Trump has been repeatedly promoting the Save America Act, declaring if it passes Republicans won’t lose a race for the next 50 years.“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” he wrote. It has not gone forward and is causing massive upset in the Republican-controlled Senate. “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!” Trump’s claim he could have settled what was a $10 billion lawsuit is contradicted by reports showing the IRS was preparing to fight him, until Trump’s DOJ intervened.Critics of the proposed $1.8 billion fund say it rewards criminals and could incentivize his supporters to take violent action on his behalf in the future.Trump also attacked Stephen Colbert after his final show Thursday night — and appeared to threaten other hosts with a similar fate.“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts,” he wrote. “Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!”But Trump saved his enmity for an outspoken critic from his own party, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis calling him “weak and ineffective” while taunting him for retiring.The North Carolina Republican lawmaker, Trump charged, “didn’t have the courage to fight it out in the Senate, remain in place, and run again for office, a thing he desperately wanted to do.” “When I told him that I would not, under any circumstances, endorse him for another run, too much work and drama (he couldn’t have won, anyway!), he immediately quit the race and publicly announced that he was going to ‘retire.’ I said, ‘Wow, great news, that was easy!’ The media said how brave he was to take me on, but he wasn’t brave, he was just the opposite – he was a quitter!”Despite reports that Trump’s actions may hamper his agenda and GOP congressional majorities, the president wrote that Tillis can now “have all the fun he wants for a few months, with some of his RINO friends, screwing the Republican Party. In the end it will only get bigger, and better, and stronger, than ever before!!!”

Anchor plops Trumper in hotseat over president’s 'grift'
Republican strategist and political commentator Scott Jennings fielded no end of hard questions on CNN after Republicans appeared to reject President Donald Trump’s controversial $1.8B weaponization fund orchestrated solely by his personal appointees.Cooper noted Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kent.) saying “so the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops. Utterly stupid, morally wrong. Take your pick.” And he asked Jennings if he agreed with the senator.Jennings found himself in the unfamiliar position of agreeing with a Trump opponent.“Well, I certainly agree that anybody who assaults a police officer should not be getting any payment,” Jennings said, adding that he was “not surprised the president's having trouble with the Senate” on financing the fund.“He already had a few senators that weren't happy with him. And … now there's a couple more that have nothing to lose, really, by standing up to him,” said Jennings. He added, however, that “some people were over prosecuted” and other “swept up unfairly.”“I think if you have been treated unfairly by the government, you ought to be able to apply for some restitution. But whether this fund is the correct vehicle for that, I think the Congress is going to want to talk about that,” Jennings said.But Democratic strategist Paul Begala, who described the fund a grift, called out the many people injured by the government that Trump was not targeting for reparations.“I got to say, if we're going to compensate anybody, let's start with the families of Renee Goode and Alex Pretti: peaceful, patriotic protesters. They weren't prosecuted. They were shot and killed. And I don't see that,: said Begala. “In fact, President Trump's aides slandered them, smeared them, called them terrorists.”Cooper then asked Jennings about restitution for FBI agents forced to retire or fired, after decades of service for being assigned to an investigation of Trump. “Should this go back decades to the Civil Rights Movement and the legions of people who were imprisoned, beaten, or fired from their jobs?” Cooper asked Jennings. “I mean, there's been generations of people who have been abused by various federal governments.”“The short answer, Anderson, is, ‘I don't know,’” said Jennings. “I've not been handed any parameters for how this fund is going to be applied.” - YouTube youtu.be
