It goes into a totally unaccountable "anti-weaponization fund" controlled by 5 members appointed by the AG (fka Trump's personal lawyer). Any member can be arbitrarily removed by Trump.
OMG, patrick!!!!!!!!!
Just when it appears impossible for Donald Trump to be more blatantly and openly corrupt, he keeps managing to outdo himself.
This would be an outrageous thing to do in the most corrupt countries in the world!!!!

Donald Trump already pardoned the criminal, convicted MAGA insurrectionists that violently rioted at the Capital building for Donald Trump after he convinced them that the 2020 election needed to be overturned because he convinced them that the proven by every single legal and legit standard to be a win for Biden....was stolen from him(and his diseased brain continues to insist that same delusional claim to this day).
Now, he is going to use this corrupt slush fund TO AWARD THEM DAMAGES to reward them, like he rewards all criminals and all illegal acts that support him.
One needs only to scroll down to find dozens of separate threads on MarketForum EXPOSING Donald Trumps lies, corruption, ruinous leadership and policies and damage to the United States domestically and especially to relationships with other countries.
I seriously question the many hours it takes to compile the authentic information and post it here.
But then, MarketForum is a platform to speak out against disinformation, fake news, lies and propaganda. In this case against an evil man, Donald Trump. This is NOT an echo chamber that tells people what they want to read or wish was true..........calling out both parties and using the scientific method when gathering information for honest discernment, shared generously for reader enlightenment.
All these threads, posts and time are completely justified by the extreme nature of the evil and its damage.
Much appreciation to others for contributing and/or providing contrasting evidence when I get something wrong so it can be immediately corrected.
Thanks, Patrick and Mike. Wow!

This is so profoundly deep into the egregious zone of ethical violations that it could only happen if our president is an extremely corrupt and DANGEROUS man.
But being corrupt is the case for thousands of rich and powerful politicians and Americans that do illegal or unethical things by hiding the truth.
What makes this stand out so much is that Donald Trump has Congress in his pocket and has hired or appointed many thousands of mostly inept government employees that must pledge allegiance to Donald Trump and adulate him to get that job so he has control to do what he wants with impunity.
Despite the majority to vast majority of Americans being consistently AGAINST his agenda and actions, Donald Trump and his partners in crime, the Rs in Congress justify it by claiming that winning the last election authorized Donald Trump to unleash the most extreme versions of corrupt, ruinous, dishonest and illegal leadership on Americans that this country has ever witnessed in its 250 years with impunity.
His reasoning to do anything doesn’t even make sense much of the time. We can see that he consistently does everything to elevate and enrich himself, his family as he rewards those that help him with it and severely punishes anybody that tries to oppose him.
And doing it blatantly and defiantly because nobody will stop him.
Ironically, this money is supposed to compensate victims of weaponized government that are on his side only, while he sets an all time, record smashing high by an order of magnitude for weaponizing the justice department and government to try to destroy many thousands of people for just opposing him or even disagreeing with him as well as those in the past that he feels didn’t treat him right.
The United States is no longer practicing a democracy or following the Constitution or following International laws or abiding by ethical standards or respecting the rights of our citizens and other human beings in the world.
We just aren’t!
We are cow towing to the whims of a delusional, self absorbed psychopath whose main objective is to make himself an historical legend with as many conquests under his belt that he can get away with.
While the R majority in Congress serves as cheerleaders for Donald Trump instead of serving the American people.

Nobody would do this unless they are guilty of committing tax fraud or planning to commit tax fraud.
People that are completely innocent of crimes and don't plan to commit tax crimes can let their tax records speak for them when they get audited.
This is an authorization for the entire Trump crime family and their companies to commit tax fraud with impunity....FOREVER!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slush_fund
A slush fund is a fund or account used for miscellaneous income and expenses, particularly when these are corrupt or illegal.[1] Such funds may be kept hidden and maintained separately from money that is used for legitimate purposes. Slush funds may be employed by government or corporate officials in efforts to pay influential people discreetly in return for preferential treatment, advance information (such as non-public information in financial transactions), and other services.[2] The funds themselves may not be kept secret but the source of the funds or how they were acquired or for what purposes they are used may be hidden. Use of slush funds to influence government activities may be viewed as subversive of the democratic process.

Addendum quietly slipped into widely criticized agreement creating a $1.7bn fund to compensate president’s allies

The United States functions as a democracy with rules, laws and the Constitution.
Very often this ismbased on precedent from previous court rulings or interpretations using the Constitution or from new laws passed by Congress.
This particular case is totally unprecedented. There has never been a law or ruling by any governmental body or court to use as precident.
For the president of the United States to make up a new law based on his interpretation(the people he appointed to adulate him and push his personal agenda) that benefits him and his party is in profound violation of this.
Trump and his minions have been pretending that the Insurrectionists, some convicted of felony's and pardoned by Donald Trump, some that attacked police officers and committed violent crimes will not be at the front of the line.
Wanna bet!!!!!
Below is the first thing that Donald Trump did in his 2nd term after being inducted as president.
GRANTING PARDONS AND COMMUTATION OF SENTENCES FOR CERTAIN OFFENSES RELATING TO THE EVENTS AT OR NEAR THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6, 2021
The White House
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation.
Donald Trump didn't just pardon most of the Insurrectionists, he pardoned ALL of them. Almost 1,600 that were CONVICTED by judges and juries based on rock solid evidence were ALL pardoned, with Trump hundreds of times referring to them as being victims of Biden's weaponized justice system.
How can it possibly be any more clear that Donald Trump wants to reward these people, some committing violent crimes in his name?
In our 250 years, when has a president done anything this egregious against the United States of America??? Not only blanket pardoning 1,600 insurrectionists(that tried to overturn our most important democratic election for him) but now, creating a slush fund to actually PAY THEM MONEY FOR DOING IT!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack_defendants
Not only is this treason against the United States of America but its the 2nd time he's committed blatant treason just this year!!!!

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-doj-immigration-bondi-declinations-criminal-investigations
In total, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases, according to an analysis by ProPublica.
The shift comes as the DOJ has undergone an extraordinary overhaul under the Trump administration, with entire units shuttered, directives to abandon pursuit of certain crimes and thousands of lawyers quitting or, in some cases, being forced out of the agency.
In doing so, the DOJ is retreating from its mission to impartially uphold the rule of law, keep the country safe and protect civil rights, according to interviews with a dozen prosecutors and an open letter from nearly 300 DOJ employees who have left the department under Trump. The Trump DOJ, the employees wrote, is “taking a sledgehammer” to long-standing work to “protect communities and the rule of law.”The DOJ has also closed hundreds of cases involving alleged crimes that the administration has publicly emphasized as enforcement priorities. Even as the Trump administration unleashed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency operatives to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, the DOJ declined over 900 cases of federal program or procurement fraud. About three times as many cases of major fraud against the U.S. were declined under Trump compared with the average of similar time periods under prior administrations. And while the Trump administration has promised to “make America safe again,” its DOJ has declined more than 1,000 terrorism cases, also more than prior administrations.
The Department of Justice’s Broken Accountability System
The Trump administration has dismantled its internal checks on abuses of power, and courts are grappling with the consequences.
++++++++++++++++
Since Donald Trump has returned to the presidency, we have seen numerous Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations and prosecutions against his political opponents, often presaged by direct threats from President Trump himself. In a healthy democracy, the justice system must not be weaponized to punish political opponents, chill dissent, or pretextually achieve political objectives — all hallmarks of the authoritarian playbook. But democracy also requires a justice system in which no one is above the law and prosecutions move forward even in politically significant cases so long as those prosecutions are consistent with the law and nonpartisan criminal enforcement priorities.

There seems to be a ton of opposition to this, including among some Republicans, and this may finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, the Almighty willing! I heard that if the Dems take the House, they may impeach DT on this.
The Senate had planned to vote on a bill to fund ICE and the Border Patrol through the end of Trump’s term but scuttled it after the president sought to add $1.8 billion for the DOJ fund.
+++++++++++++++
Back when our presidents were held accountable for their corrupt actions and lying:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal
The Watergate scandal, or simply Watergate, was a political scandal in the United States involving the administration of President Richard Nixon. On June 17, 1972, operatives associated with Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign were caught burglarizing and planting listening devices in the Democratic National Committee headquarters at Washington, D.C.'s Watergate complex. Nixon's efforts to conceal his administration's involvement led to an impeachment process and his resignation in August 1974.
+++++++++++++
After the Ds win the house and immediately start the impeachment investigation, they will compile 10 times the amount of evidence that was needed for Nixon to resign(to avoid being impeached).
The Ds in the House with their majority WILL impeach Trump with absolute certainty.
The Senate requires 2/3rd majority to impeach and remove Donald Trump. This will be the 1 time that Rs who want to get rid of Donald Trump because he's wrecking their party(and our country) and are afraid of him can vote to get rid of him and have him gone forever.
It's possible is all I can say.
During the impeachment investigation and hearings in the House, Donald Trump's insanity could ramp up another notch.
If the Senate votes to impeach him, he could drop a nuclear bomb on Russia to start a war in order to justify staying in office.....or something just as extreme because he will NEVER resign. Even after he lost the 2020 election by every standard, every recount, every challenge, every everything, he refuses to acknowledge it 5+ years later and has ordered his corrupt DOJ to conjure up evidence to show that he actually won in 2020!!!
In fact, he attempted to have an Insurrection on January 6th to overthrow the government/election results rather than concede. This thread was started because of the actions of Donald Trump trying to create a slush fund to REWARD these same criminals that he already pardoned for the REAL crimes, many violent felonies when they were trying to overthrow the government of the United States on January 6th, 2021 to serve Donald Trump.
Imagine what he will do if impeached????
He'll take his thousands of minions, appointed because they swore allegiance to Donald Trump AND FIGHT IT!!!!

He and his cabinet operate more like the Mafia in the United States. Can you actually imagine the people below invoking Article 25? That's right, the Constitution requires the cabinet to invoke Article 25 to remove a president. 0.0000% chance that this cabinet that constantly adulates president Trump as part of their job would ever vote to remove him because of Donald Trump no longer being qualified to perform the Constitutional duties of the president.
In addition, I believe that both the House and Senate would need to vote by a 2/3rd majority to remove the president.

The Trump Mafia:
Mike, 20 GOP senators said today behind closed doors that they’re opposed to the funding for the slush fund!
Thune (majority leader) said he’s “not a fan” of it. He sent the Senate home for the holidays before voting on the reconciliation bill that includes the slush fund because he knows there’s not enough votes. Instead of having the bill lose, he avoided the vote by sending them home!
This is the straw that broke DT’s back! He’s lost control of the Senate. Today lied and said he doesn’t need $ for the ballroom! He previously had asked $1Bfor the ballroom. Now he’s saying he’s making a gift of the ballroom.
Thanks very much, Larry!
Trump has progressive dementia for which no human being has ever recovered. One can see his deterioration just from a year ago. Biden's cognitive decline from dementia impacted his communicating a great deal, maybe because of the 2 brain aneurysms that he had in 1988(speculation).
Biden almost died from those brain bleeds and he experienced a full recovery at the time. Your brain has the ability to compensate for damage at a younger age which it can no longer do later on at Biden's age.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3317292/
Trump's cognitive decline is crystal clearly impacting his judgment center and impulse control which is way more dangerous and incapacitating for the most powerful man in the world, commanding the most powerful military.
Biden's judgment seemed to be much less impaired than his communication skills.
To refer to what Trump uses as "judgment" seems to be a misuse of the word.

He is driven by the desire to make himself an historical legend and is doing things that are more and more insane to accomplish that.
Conquest of countries around the world.........Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba.....etc.
Naming everything that he can at home after himself.
Firing everybody that doesn't line up with his personal agenda to make Donald Trump great and replacing them with Donald Trump First adulators.
Rewarding convicted felons that rioted to try to overturn the 2020 election for him.
Commit fraud and corruption thousands of time to enrich him and the Trump crime family.
The manner in which he is doing it is getting insanely brazen as witnessed in this thread. So extreme, so blatantly out in the open, assuming that he can do what he wants with impunity and nobody will stop him because Fox will brag about things like this as being genius. People that question Donald Trump are just too dumb to understand his playing 3-D chess and using his brilliant "Art of the Deal" tactics.
Then, they repeat that thousands of times and MAGA accepts it as THEIR truth when it's the diametrically opposed, polar opposite of the truth.
Rs in Congress afraid to oppose him because doing that can cause his to destroy them. So they enable and even adulate him to get his support and party money.
This time he finally went so far that he even crossed a line that even Donald Trump adulators saw as too egregious and too damaging to their reputations ahead of the November elections

We are no long "heading toward" authoritarianism. In May 2026, anybody that says we are NOT practicing an authoritarian government at the Federal level is in denial.
Still a democracy via the elections.......which our crystal clear authoritarian leader is trying to fix and even NOT recognize when he loses, like when Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.......which is exactly what authoritarians do!!!
+++++++++++++++
https://kettering.org/authoritarianism-isnt-coming-its-here/
Steven Levitsky: We should not be under the illusion that 250 million citizens are going to feel the effects of authoritarianism, are going to feel repressed every day. In many, many, many authoritarian regimes across history, many people have been largely unaffected. It’s still bad.
Alex Lovit: Think of an authoritarian regime. Maybe you’re imagining an example out of history like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, or a modern example like Russia under Putin or North Korea. My guest today says that if you are in the US right now, all you have to do is look around. You are listening to The Context. It’s a show from the Charles F. Kettering Foundation about how to get democracy to work for everyone and why that’s so hard to do. I’m your host, Alex Lovit. Today I am speaking with Steven Levitsky. He’s a professor of government at Harvard. In the academic world of political science, he’s a rock star and he’s also written a couple of bestsellers about threats to democracy. He’s currently working on co-authoring a new book about the Trump era, and he’s a senior fellow here at the Kettering Foundation.
As you’ll hear, Steven believes that the slide into authoritarianism can be surprisingly subtle. So if you have been waiting to find out when the current administration’s attacks on rights and institutions would cross the line, let this episode be a wake-up call. It’s already happened. The good news is that Steven also believes it’s possible for the US to course-correct back to democracy, but it’s going to take all of us.
Steven Levitsky, welcome to The Context.
Steven Levitsky: Thanks for having me, Alex.
Alex Lovit: So you wrote an editorial for the New York Times back in May with a couple of your frequent co-authors and proposed a metric for whether the United States is still a full democracy. Tell me about it, what is that metric?
Steven Levitsky: These days it is difficult sometimes to tell when a country has slid into authoritarianism because in most cases, in the 21st century, democratic backsliding takes a much more subtle form than it used to. In the old days in the 20th century, particularly during the Cold War, most democratic breakdowns were quick, decisive, unambiguous. The military would seize power, a junta would govern the country. The Constitution would be suspended or dissolved. And that happens occasionally, but most of the time it does not. Most contemporary authoritarian regimes, most new ones anyway, are installed by elected leaders themselves. They’re much more subtle. And so we asked ourselves where can we draw the line between democracy which may be in a degree of crisis and a that has become authoritarian? And what we came up with and what we presented in the New York Times piece is that in a democracy, it should be pretty close to costless to speak out against the government, to organize protests, at least legal protests against the government, to join protests, to run candidacies against the incumbents, to give money to candidates.
All of these are constitutional forms of opposition that citizens shouldn’t have to think twice about doing. In authoritarian regimes, there is a price, there’s a cost to opposition behavior. In really harsh dictatorships like say Russia, that cost can be prison or exile or even death. That’s not the case thankfully here, I don’t think it’s likely to be the case here, but in what we call competitive authoritarian regimes, these regimes that still continue to hold elections and permit opposition, but nevertheless tilt the playing field against the opposition, there are costs to opposition. You may have the tax authorities investigating or auditing those who give money to the opposition. There may be defamation suits against journalists or media outlets that displease the government. There may be investigations into civil society organizations that are in opposition. There may be death threats or harassment of critics of the government. All of these raise the cost of opposition.
And what we argue in the Times piece is that remarkably, during the first four or five months of the Trump administration, hundreds of thousands of Americans found that suddenly there was a cost to their public opposition, that publicly opposing the government now ran a credible risk of government retribution. So many, many Americans from different walks of life are now having to think twice, even three times about publicly opposing the government, about engaging in constitutional behavior. And that is the sign that I think we have crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism. Now, this is a very mild competitive authoritarianism. It’s an entirely reversible competitive authoritarianism. We have not plunged into brutal dictatorship and we have not crossed some threshold that we can’t pull back from, but I think it would be inaccurate to say that we are the kind of fully democratic regime that we were between I would say at least 1965 and 2024.
++++++++++++++
The best way to go back to the democracy would be to remove Donald Trump. After the D's take over the house, their impeachment investigation will show 10 times the evidence needed to impeach Donald Trump. At least if they show everything.
After the House impeaches him with a majority vote, we need the Senate to impeach and REMOVE him with 2/3rd votes.
The president, vice president and acting attorney general have offered a series of inaccurate claims to defend an unusual fund announced this week.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/politics/trump-fund-irs-fact-check.html
“The president is suing himself and compensating other people for legal claims that have not been identified from people that we don’t know. We just haven’t seen anything like that.”
++++++++++++++++
Everybody but MAGA knows that this is nothing more than a huge slush fund created by Donald Trump to compensate/reward people that suffer accountability for breaking laws to serve Donald Trump.
There have been funds established in the past to compensate REAL victims. Here's a good one:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/politics/trump-fund-irs-fact-check.html
House leader is thought to have convinced the US president to drop plans for compensation that could have rewarded Capitol rioters
++++++++++++
The audacity of Donald Trump suing the government for $10 billion, then having the Donald Trump people that he appointed on the other end settling with Donald Trump for $1.8 billion to be used as a slush fund to reward MAGA people, some with convicted felonies, for committing crimes for Donald Trump.
For Donald Trump's diseased brain to actually think that this would be just like the thousands of other legal and ethical violations.......with the Rs in Congress all looking the other way and enabling him shows a level of delusional arrogance that has reached a new level.
VP Vance defended this vehemently and disgraced himself even more.
Todd Blanche, the attorney general (who used to be Donald Trump's private attorney) disgraced himself even more.
Trump has been known to pretend to change his position many times in the past, then suddenly comes up with a new plan to perpetrate the same scheme. So it might not be over.
Gee, I wonder where Donald Trump gets such insane ideas like this from................

“And these were many great people. And I gave them pardons. I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government,” he said.
The fund, he told later reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, is “so important,” at one point invoking the need to make amends with supporters like those who attacked the US Capitol.
“They went there with love,” he said of the rioters. “And those people have been abused.

You may have noticed my increased use of meme's here when it comes to Donald Trump craziness.
This is just my way of having fun with it vs letting it dragging me down. Some of the meme's are intended to be more humorous than others. Some are intended to be more serious while all of them making relevant points in a creative way than just using the same worn out words.
Calling a person names, like "psychopath" or delusional is very offensive to my personal behavior standards if they are not really a psychopath or delusional.
In the case of Donald Trump, its not meant as name calling or a personal attack(which I abhor) because I don't like him. Instead it's to accurately describe his mental illness from a legit scientific/medical standpoint which is extremely relevant to know for ALL Americans because this person is our president and the most powerful person in the world.

The Ds just introduced a bill to ban this insane, anti American, corrupt Donald Trump slush fund that steals money from tax payers and gives it to reward Donald Trump‘s friends for breaking laws and violating ethics in his name.
The Rs DEFEATED the bill. They want to keep this slush fund alive.
Mike, are you serious?!? That’s insane. I thought there’d be a few Rs voting against it since they’re turning against it.
I’m on the road and can’t post it but I read that only 3 Rs voted for it and so they lost 49-50 with almost all the Ds voting for it but Collin’s, Husted and Sullivan from the R party not voting against it.
Im sure the fake D, Fetterman voted with the Rs.
Just when you think Trump and his people can’t sink any lower, this fund pops up.
These same ones continue to support Trumps unjustified, illegal war in Iran. Bought and paid for by the military industrial complex, morally deprived servants to Donald Trump.
NOT fulfilling their promises to Americans, NOT making this country great again, not making the world a better place. Enriching themselves and telling lies to justify their words and actions.
NOT following the Constitution which calls for the separation of powers into the executive, judicial and legislative branches in order to protect our country from tyranny and to have a system of checkers and balances.
The Rs got the majority in both houses and have given all their power to Donald Trump.
It takes many months for the judicial system to catch up. For instance, it took almost a year for the Supreme Court to rule Donald trumps ruinous tariffs ILLEGAL. Then Trump uses another trick to keep the tariffs wrecking our country for numerous more months instead of following the law.
While Congress, instead of doing their jobs, they enable, support and make excuses for him while FEARING Donald Trump.
We are not practicing a legit form of democracy anymore. This is an authoritarian regime with democratic elections and Donald Trump is trying to rig those and insanely, is still obsessed with using corruption and abusing his power to show he won in 2020!
