"Trump Claims the Right to Cut Himself Blank Checks from Lawsuits"

Quote:
President Donald J. Trump has claimed that he has the right to funnel as much taxpayer money into his own accounts as he likes.

When asked by a reporter on Saturday evening what it was like to be on both sides of a lawsuit, Trump, 79, responded that “no one would care” if he awarded himself taxpayer funds for his own hand-selected “charities.”

As a private citizen and as president, Trump has launched multiple lawsuits against the U.S. government. He is now in charge of them and is seeking damages of more than $10 billion.

I wait for the judgement of future historians when they describe the spinelessness and moral ambiguity displayed by Republican officeholders who might have stopped their Dear Leader.
