No joke, the sitting president is demanding 230 million from his own Justice Department

Just have to wait and see if it's an offer you can't refuse.

Or maybe he will alter the deal.

He's asking his own personal lawyers, which he installed as the head of the Justice department.

Just straight up carpetbagging / corruption.

Trump just wants to personally pocket taxpayer dollars. From your paycheck to his pockets.

He's easily the most corrupt president in my lifetime, running the most corrupt administration in my lifetime. And I'm old. It's genuinely mind-boggling.

archive.is is blocked at my work. What rationale does he give for this? Any?

He filed a lawsuit against the US government for its investigation into him during a time when he was not president. The investigations were regarding his handling of classified documents, election claims and so on.

So now that he's president he's telling justice department to pay him.

So now as president he can order his underlings to pay him, and none of us taxpayers can say "wait a minute, that's our money!", because we aren't parties to the suit. Lovely.

Trump's new ballroom costs $250M. What a crazy random happenstance.
