I have been looking for a little while for a name to hang on Donald Trump. It’s kind of a nickname, but hardly a term of endearment or affection.
I now intend to refer to the individual I refuse to acknowledge publicly as my president as Donald the Crook. I might shorten it on occasion to DtheC. It’s the slush fund that Trump has set up that enrages me terribly.
You know the story, but here’s a quick refresher. Trump had sued the United States of America for $10 billion, citing some civil liberty matter involving his tax return, which he vowed to release upon election in 2016. He hasn’t done it … the dipshit! Trump recently dropped the suit, but got a pretty shady deal out of it in return.
He has set up a $1.776 billion slush fund that he can use to pay off criminals charged and convicted in the 1/6 assault on the government. That was the event aimed at stopping the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to President Joe Biden.
There will be zero oversight on how the funds will be spent. No inspection of its handling. No one to whom Trump and his family will answer.
It’s free and clear money established for Trump and his kin to use at their discretion. Yes, Donald the Crook will be allowed to run amok with taxpayer money. Yep, the dough belongs to you and me. I don’t have much fiscal stake in the cash, as I am an old retiree in North Texas, living a quiet life spending my shrinking disposal income that is being swallowed by raging inflation caused by DtheC’s tariffs and the idiotic war he launched against Iran.
What makes DtheC’s fund so outrageous is the prospect of it going to pay for traitorous criminals who stormed the Capitol on 1/6 and injured police officers who were trying to restore order and protect officials targeted by the raging mob. DtheC says the criminals were treated badly by a government that had weaponized law enforcement.
No … it did nothing of the sort! The entire planet has seen the video of that horrifying event. These traitors deserved what they got prior to Donald the Crook pardoning them!
Now he wants to pay them? What an utter disgrace!
