He’s suing the IRS/Treasury because his tax records were leaked by a contractor working for the IRS. The contractor broke the law and was convicted, but the President found his tax returns being publicized embarrassing. 10 billion bucks embarrassing, and he wants us to pay for his embarrassment.
@aloha-hoosier This is part of what's so maddening, this "always the victim" stuff. He's got more money than God and all the power in the world, but it's never enough.
This compares Trump spending in his 1st term, vs. Biden's.
A lot more, whether you take COVID spending out of the analysis, or not
The federal budget deficit totaled $1.7 trillion in Calendar Year (CY) 2025, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). So Trump is on pace to amass a deficit of 4x1.7 = 6.8 trillion bucks over 4 years.
Worse than Biden, worse than Trump term #1, even adjusted for GNP growth, worse than any time outside of World War II spending, the last time we faced fascists.
