Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

Not the "united states"...the hard-working, tax paying PEOPLE of the United States are contributing $10 billion to God knows who (but I have a pretty good idea) We weren't ask, he just grab us by the "P" on this one.

While our power/water bills go up to fund ai centers. While our grocery bills go up due to corporate price fixing and gouging. While our rent and elder care goes up because of private equity. While our cost of everything goes up because of tariffs- he steals money from us to rub salt in the wound.

With Donald's age and failing health, the best case scenario is that he spends a couple years in prison, but Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Jared, and Barron better spend the balance of their lives after 2030 in prison.

10 billion dollars? I thought the fee was 1 billion per country member? Wasn’t he bitching not too long ago about NATO members not contributing enough and “taking advantage of us.” I smell another con job!

But in Trump's mind, he and the US government are the same thing. And since the US is the head of the Board of Peace (did this thing go through Congress???) that means Trump and the Board of Peace are the same thing. It's another flavor of his self-dealing.

A permanent seat on the Bored of Piece costs $1 billion. Trump has committed the US to pay $10 billion. The Fart of the Deal. “… but he’s such a great negotiator!” “… America first.” Explain this to me like I have the education level of a Trump voter.

He's literally stealing from us, the corruption is blatant and open. When will we hold these grifter accountable for their overreach? All this corruption have made the Trumps the biggest thieves to ever have the power of government. Disgusting where we are as nation that this isn't railing people up

He lives forever in a Waltermitty world and Americans voted for him knowing his blemished track record. As he would say "sad". #EpsteinFiles

Who? Moscow Mitch started working on this in 2010 to ensure there would be no checks or balances. There is no one to arrest him in our current system of government. And the Democrats aren't interested, they've been told to talk about "affordability".

My read, yesterday's deposition was a success. He again wants to change the topic. Doesn't mean he doesn't want the money. What he doesn't want more is the Epstein files and outrage dominating the news cycles

Such a Buffoon ! Such an embarrassment of what has been allowed to be accepted as normal. 3 years more of this nonsense. Will the underlying principles of our once great republic survive. Someone gives this grifter another Macdonalds coupon... STAT.

When has this administration EVER bound themselves to rules and regulations? Pete Hegseth butchers people at sea, TrumpStein abduct a president of a foreign country, blocks Cuna, rips into Ukraine and supports Putler...

We’re witnessing a coup. It is the second attempt by the sitting president, who is a diabolical despot. Extortion, conflict of interest, corruption, censorship, occupation, murder, causation of international instability and chaos, unconstitutional lawlessness, all out in the open.

Board of Peace, the overseas bank account chock full of stolen Venezuelan oil money. Is there even a penny he doesn’t want his tiny lil baby hands on?

Perhaps a strongly worded letter? Wake up, Trump's Republican dictatorship is in full swing. He can do anything without consequences. Concentration camps, mass murder, or trafficking children is not enough to sway the trump Republicans against him. The United States is not a constitutional Republic.

TF?! Yet no healthcare! We are broke they keeps saying. No money foe the poor, vets housings or anything to make things better but hes going to give 10 billion taxpayers dollars to whatever this is..why not take that oil money hes stealing from Venezuela and use that?!

Ha ha ha, he doesn't give a shit. US has been an Autocracy for some time now and I when the broader US population realizes it, it will be too late. Sad, but hey, America first will be America last and Europe will soon the the leading economic power in the world and US will plundge into darkness.

The amount of looting and grifting is overwhelming - why can’t Dems communicate a clear message about this? “Stealing money and preying on children”should be an easy message to campaign against.

Donnie The Thief Where is Congress???? Trump can not just appropriate money Trump steals $10Billion from taxpayers Trump Board of Peace Aka Board of Ruthless Dictators Board of Brutal World Rulers

All that money being “wasted” on social programs, medical, insurance, food, student loan relief…siphoned off into another Trump vanity project. Donald is chairman of the Board of “Peace” with veto power. That money is stolen goods. A type of “Fruit of the poison tree.”

He's talking about his cadre of billionaires, silly - the ones who pay for *everything* his little tiny heart desires these days. Congressional appropriations? That's soooo over, Aaron.

True. But the Supreme Ct majority's been quietly allowing the dismantlement of Congress's constitutional role as holder of the power of the purse. Congress still suggests budgets, but it's only a suggestion now, and will be as long as the GOP holds the WH. Which the Ct is manipulating as permanent.

Well, Congress has no way to force the release of appropriated funds other than to, say, refuse to vote on legislation the WH wants until the appropriated funds at issue are released for their legislatively appropriated purpose. But repeatedly now, the Supreme Ct's blocked lower-ct release mandates.

Uhhh, so instead of buying 10 positions on his stupid board of peace via bribery, the US is making a "contribution"? A "donation"? 10x the bribe with no representation in a fake organization? Harrumph, I say.

If the next administration and Congress doesn't remove all ill-gotten gains from the participants of these various schemes, including the likes of Thiel, Gates, Fink, etc, I predict humanity will lose much of their civil restraint for lack of hope. Rampancy is not exclusive to corruption.

Maybe…. Just maybe when he drives the country off the financial cliff….. with huge sums for ballroom, arches…. Pet projects like renaming things…. Maybe congress will grow a pair.. ya think?

The first three things I want to see: 1. Trump's arrest 2. All of the counts against him read out in court - for every violation, big and small, he had committed. 3. Bail denied as he is a flight risk.

Good Point, just like his second administration on filling his pockets full of money, this administration it’s been on steroids nothing but personal wealth for him and his family and supporters. Vile and disgusting to the Max.

he shall strengthen/make firm a covenant with many for one week: in the middle of the week he shall cause to cease sacrifice and offering, And on the wing/pinnacle of abominations [shall be] one making desolate, Even until the end and that which is determined is poured out upon the desolate one.

What a complete jackass we all are watching the Grift live and in front of our faces. No one is doing shit. Including me. But typing this is what I do.

That $10B of OUR TAX DOLLARS is doubtless earmarked to land in the pockets of the billionaire class. If anyone still believes this fake-ass “board” will have any impact on world peace, well I have a bridge to sell you

Though Trump’s culpability for this seems pretty cut and dried (Roberts ruling notwithstanding) questions really need to start being raised about the culpability of members of congress who are sitting back and letting this horseshit happen

#🤥LYING pOTUS, 🤥his #LYING Adm & #🤥LYING rEPUBS HAVE for too long #GRIFTED OUR #TAXPAYERS$$$$$$$$$$$ for #THEIR own Purse!😡🤬 IT IS WAY PAST TIME TO #IMPEACH THEM & #SEND THEM #ALL to #JAIL! They #MUST #RETURN all the $$$$$$$$$$$ they #GRIFTED THAT IS WHAT #FASCISM & #GREED LOOKS LIKE!😡🤬😠

Republicans may never again discuss the budget or how money gets allocated. Never ever again. No Republican may ever mention tax dollars. GOP-controlled Congress has allowed Trump to use the US Federal Budget as a personal slush fund to distribute or withhold at his personal gain or whim.

this guy is openly stealing, and the lack of constant, loud, drum-beating noise about it from the media and Dems indicates that they seem to be okay with this precedent being established

He's talking about numbers. He was convicted of 34 felonies for lying about numbers. He is always lying when he mentions numbers (like the hundreds of thousands of times he's mentioned in the #EpsteinFiles). QED, he's lying about the $10 billion. #Antifa #TrumpRapesMinors

Why would they have to, when he can just steal it from his Venezuelan oil slush fund? The whole point of sequestering our pirated gains was to let this con man act with autocratic impunity in our country's name.

What he is saying is I'm putting 10 billion taxpayers money in my pocket. How does one get their hands on 10 billion dollars. Treasury you have some explaining to do.

Surely the Treasury is going to be empty by the end of Feb? Given that the wealthy don't pay as much tax, ICE taking huge amounts, Trump taking lots of 'compensation' for various things, fewer people working therefore less income for the Treasury ... US will be bankrupt!

Congress controls the purse. Trump announcing a $10B transfer to his Board of Peace without appropriation isn’t leadership, it’s a constitutional violation on camera. If norms mattered, this would end in court the same day.

Not to be all #CoalMineCanary, but Trump has simply ignored how appropriations work for a year now. He started by threatening already allocated funding to schools & hospitals if they refused to erase trans people and for the most part, nobody raised a fuss. He's still doing it. Nobody cares.

This is massively incorrect. “Technically”, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution gives appropriations to Congress; Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution deals with taxing & spending. In no way does the Dept. of the Treasury “technically” control the purse.

The ICC ruled Bush, Cheney, etc. committed war crimes. The only real effect was that there was a list of countries they couldn't visit without risking arrest. Didn't really crimp their lifestyles all that much, to be honest.

The gangster's whole #BoardOfPeace BS is to build Trump Resorts over the rubble and dead bodies ftom the genocide in Gaza perpetrated by fellow criminal #Netanyahu Not #AmericaFirst, Trump first #FascistStatesOfAmerica #MAGAcult #RepublicanNaziParty #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinFiles #PredatorTrump

One of the most undercovered stories is how the Trump crime syndicate is amassing fortunes uncontrolled by the sleepy Congress : money laundering, corporate racket (nvidia), crypto, Venezuela oil accounts, bogus settlements, and of course billions readily available from tech fascist billionaires.

"It's a very small number." Why is he saying that while in the same breath he's boasting about how much the US is giving? It's like he's reassuring the public that he's not bilking us out of all that much.

The new grift: AI: “the US President …possessing the power to invite/exclude members, break ties, and veto any resolution. Executive Control: An executive board, featuring members like Jared Kushner, manages daily operations and funds” How can Americans be so stupid? Yes, an American is asking!

How? We voted blue no matter who in 2020 and the democrats did not save democracy like they said they would. Do yourself a favor and search up how many fascist regimes have been removed from power via democratic elections. Hint: It’s 0

Internationally, historically, since the beginning of record keeping there has not been ANY fascist government removed from ANY country by democratic vote. Hope that helps.

I don't know about you, but this girl is voting blue. Hey that rhymes! Hopefully some of the Trump supporters who are being negatively affected by his policies have finally woken up to the fact that this guy is a con artist and credibility accused Pedophile. What's the alternative? 🤷‍♀️

Elected MAGA Republicans need to stop this freak! There's plenty of Republicans ready to dump this accused pedophile. If they still support him, they are either pedophiles themselves, or are just ok with him being one it. #GuardiansOfPedophiles

As a Brit, we had so much hope and faith in Tony Blair in 1997, we thought him as our savior after almost 20 years of Tory rule. What happened to him and his ideals ? Things can only get better ?

Yup 100%. As a reminder Trump is forbidden to run a charity. But the board of piss will be still used for laundering huge bogus payouts. And maybe soon royalties on trump named airports. This is a wild and total heist on America.
