    I love how he can’t think of another number than $10B. He wants $10B from IRS. He alleges $10B in daycare fraud in MN. The border wall was going to cost $10B or less. He claimed in 2025 he eliminated exactly $10B was saved in “waste fraud and abuse” findings.

    He can’t even bother to switch the numbers up for his lies, but I guess when you believe a number can be reduced by 600%, anything goes.

      Probably? This is his only play, all his life - get into a situation that is over his head, like a casino, or real estate, or acting, or literally every aspect of government, where he makes things worse and damaging to the industry, and then extracts bribes and extorts people in those deals industries with promises to give them exceptions from that harm. It’s mafia shit. He is running a racket with a system he didn’t build but he did take over by force.
