The Department of Justice is considering settling Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, which could send taxpayer money directly to the president’s pockets, according to a new report. Trump sued the IRS and the Treasury Department for $10 billion in January, accusing the agencies of failing to prevent a leak of the president’s tax information during his first term. The DOJ is now holding internal discussions about potentially settling the case, and what that would look like, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. One option that the DOJ and White House officials are weighing is the IRS potentially ending any audits of Trump, his family members or his businesses, according to The NYT.

    He has no morals and empathy. That’s really the secret.

    We could be close to the same level of success (although president is pushing it lol) if we didn’t care to fuck people over all the time.

    Honestly it wouldn’t be worth it in my opinion like yeah you’re super rich and people listen to you but so what? I’d rather be loved and cared about by my family and loved ones and have empathy and compassion for my fellow man.

    I mean some money would be great lol but if I had to sell my soul for it and be one of the people he is or is in his cabinet I just wouldn’t even want it.

    I bet in a way it actually is difficult to grow up the way he did because he just views understanding your common man as a weakness and doesn’t even realize what a huge part of the human experience he is missing out on, and he can’t ever buy it.

    Fuck him though I’ll be glad when the McDonalds and diet coke does the job.

      Also, he’s a Republican.

      The decades-old rule of “IOKIYAR” holds. I have to laugh that the right thinks there is or ever really was, a “liberal media”.

      If the corporate media was actually “liberal”, the media would constantly be covering this one-family crime wave. Every single mention of PEDOnald would list all his crimes, the suspicion he is under as a pedo, list that he’s been convicted of rape, as well as all the cryptocrimes he and his sons are doing…
