President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages.
Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.
LOL OMG broad day light THEFT of US treasury.
We’ll see what happens…
All the presidents combined for the last century have only amassed $40 million in wealth while in office despite the whining and complaining by the right about the Clintons or Obama. All of them, combined, a century’s worth…$40 million
Trump has stuffed his pockets with $3 billion in since he got elected. In one year.
What a disgusting billionaire worshiping sick country the US has become, just sickening
You mean the tax returns he was supposed to voluntarily release, himself?
He’s suing all of us. We are the government.
I’ll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office again. I feel dumber every time I read this childish bullshit, and sad for humanity seeing the homuculi that applaud stupidity.

You shouldn’t. These are the new Nazis. Sociopaths completely without respect for anything.
Based on what little I know of this, myself only being versed in Bird Law, doesn’t the IRS enjoy sovereign immunity as a governmental entity? They can just declare that they do not agree to being sued.
Yeah, but they’re an executive agency, so Trump can just fire anyone who says no, until they get to someone who will agree to let the lawsuit proceed.
Their counsel has to provide a vigorous defense of the IRS so they can’t walk into court and agree with Trump.
Are any of their remaining staff capable of providing a vigorous defense?
That’s a point
I’d hope any judge hearing the case under such circumstances would appoint someone capable of providing a vigorous defense if the executive (branch) was unwilling or unable to.
We know Bessant isn’t going to put up much of a fight.
But the defendant can’t issue a counter suit. How is that possible. I hate this timeline. He will get away with it too watch…
What a sniveling cunt.
Definition of chode
They will end up settling out of court for half that and he’ll laugh all the way to the bank. Another grift executed.
A 0.1% settlement is still $10m.
More than all the tax he paid since 2016.
That’s be true even if he ‘only’ got $10K.
10 mil ain’t shit to him
He just accepted a gold bar and Rolex in exchange for removing tariffs on Switzerland. Even if that were a 1 kilo gold bar, that’s $160,000. He got all his tech goons to contribute $1M to his inauguration.
Correct, but it is “never work another day” money to billions of people.
I am so sick and tired of this fucking LEECH. Everything about that thing is horrid. Every little thing. Zero redeeming qualities. He is a disgusting parasite.
The world would be better place…
His stupidity, lack of historical knowledge, and his vainglory that has led him to surround himself with Yes Men and the like are all redeeming qualities in a sense because they stop him from achieving his callous agenda as much. But no he does not have any traditional virtue.
Trump: I would like to sue the Office of the President of the USA for $10 billion dollars.
Taxpayers: But, you are the President.
Trump: Oh great, I’ll settle with myself for $5 billion dollars. Send a check.
Taxpayers:
Americans: what a brilliant man.
Art of the deal.
He’s stealing our money
OUR. FUCKING. MONEY.
obligatory: fuck izrael too
Yea but at least some poor person isn’t getting your hard-earned dollar to get treatment for something for free. /s
Theft
I feel the same about all of these headlines.
No matter how conservative you are, how can you support this? Its just nuts.
That’s about 66-67 dollars per tax payer. Like I have money to give this fuck nugget.
It’s not only for $10b because his lawyer ‘intepreted’ “a hundred hundred gazillion bigly dollars” at an actual amount rather than trying to explain how numbers work.
