Tax dollars for you? For states in need? Nah

The felon would rather squander that tax money in getting laughed out of court:

Donald Trump raged at the latest New York Times/Siena Poll, which shows him with low approval after a year in office, and said that he’ll add what he called the “fake results” to his defamation claim against the Gray Lady.

Trump’s Truth Social post on Thursday is only the latest threat to target pollsters with legal action. He sued pollster Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register over a 2024 pre-election poll showing him behind in Iowa, yet he went on to win the state.

Also is suing JP Morgan:

Remember, Republicans wouldn’t override a veto they unanimously voted to because the felon didn’t want tax money to fund projects for states in need, but has zero qualms on spending tax money just to get laughed out of court.

I’m not sure America has ever been perfect, but I long for the days that this was a serious country or even tried to look like one.
