      So it’s not a settlement, it’s a $1.7 billion slush fund for political allies funded entirely by taxpayers. I’d love to see the “objective criteria” for who gets a piece of that cake and who audits the auditors.

      If this goes through, we’ll have *more* proof that the USA is dying as quickly as the president.

      Isn’t Congress supposed to approve how the government spends money. Doesn’t Article 1 section 9 clause 7 of Constitution say “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law.? Where does slush fund come from?

      While everyone struggles to afford gas & groceries this guy is paying himself a billion dollars using public funds. The word corruption doesn’t suffice. Evil. Greedy evil.

      One. Point. Seven. Billion!?!?

      “It’s ok – I started at $10,000,000,000, so the president suing the government for $1.7b is fine. “

      For …. Something he was guilty of in the first place?

      America is so fucked

      Don’t do it. Let him run his stupid lawsuit and fail. He would *only* do this if he knew his lawsuit wasn’t going anywhere. This way, he doesn’t lose the lawsuit and gets to say “Hey, I gave up 10 *billion* dollars for these good folks. You got that? 10 billion… with a B.”

      ELIA5 – How is a politician suing about something they had already promised to do on their own? Where is the damage and economic harm?

      How does it harm someone’s reputation to keep more promises than to lie?

      As far as personal data – Department of Commerce was hacked a few years back and thousands of people had data released. Should they get a few billion each?
