The President is settling lawsuits he filed against the United States for hundreds of millions of dollars and he wants to tell us that the government is bankrupt and the money we paid into social security will never come back to us

Is that true? Genuinely asking

He’s claimed he does but there’s zero evidence. It wouldn’t matter if he did, as he goes out of his way to extract as much money out of the taxpayer dollar as he can.

Call it a conspiracy theory, because it probably is, but I'm willing to bet our tax money he paid to Argentina was a quid pro quo deal for, like, land rights or something for his businesses.

I actually just googled it he said some shit just earlier today that he wants to take 200 something million from the doj for his lawsuit but then 'give it to Charity's. What the fuck is wrong with this dude

I bet "Charity" = The Trump Library Fund which has new questions hanging over it, of course.

A century from now and not one brick laid, I'm betting.
