OMG: Bombshell Trump scam gets exposed - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen

[TexasTowelie]

BTC: Donald Trump steals from American taxpayers to pay himself. Yes, it's the grift that keeps on giving. This is just another day.

Recently, it was announced that Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion for the disclosure of his tax returns in 2019 and 2020 and wouldn't you know it, a few people have some questions.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: Let's say for some reason he actually wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?

Mark Bessent: Uh uh again um it would come from. It…

Gallego: Process wise. I'm not asking like your opinion whether it's right or wrong.

Bessent: It would come from Treasury.

Gallego: It come from Treasury which comes from the general fund.

Bessent: The Treasury general account.

Gallego: So taxpayers.

Bessent: Uh yes.

Gallego: Thank you.

Bessent: Part of the 440,000 taxpayers whose returns were leaked.

BTC: Oh, that's why he's doing this. For vengeance. Apparently Donald Trump is a regular John Wick for Americans finances. Let me just do some uh quick math here. $10 billion divided by $440,000 works out to roughly $22,000 for each of those people. Not bad. So, uh when can those people expect those checks?

Gallego: If the president prevails in this lawsuit, he's going to be able to pocket that money. Um my question is, is the president has anyone in the president's office talked to you about this lawsuit in any regard?

Bessent: Uh they have not. And the president has said he will donate the proceeds to charity. You may have missed that.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Oh, I think I may have missed that, too. That's so generous. I completely forgot. Donald Trump is doing this because he's just one big ball of philanthropy.

GMA Reporter: Trump has said he's donated more than $100 million to charity, but he's never provided any proof. This morning, there is proof. He donated a lot of money to charities for questionable reasons, and a lot of that money wasn't out of his pocket.

CBS This Morning Host: Figures first reported by the Washington Post show Trump used his charities money to pay his business expenses and make personal purchases.

Michael Cohen: Whatever money came in, Donald Trump has distributed to worthy causes.

BTC: And if there's one guy we can trust, it's Michael Cohen. Yep. I trust Trump's fixer when it comes to where he donates his money the same way I trust Elon when it comes to comedy.

Elon Musk: I mean, I heard I heard about uh I heard about the formation of the the peace summit, and I was like, is that uh is that P I E C?

(cut to studio)
BTC: Uh hey, if I bomb that hard, I too would want to figure out how to occupy Mars. Now, a lot of people might be concerned that there's a conflict of interest here. What with Donald Trump's own Treasury Secretary being in charge of the pile of cash that would be awarded to his boss. But according to Bessent, there's nothing to worry about.

(cut to video)
Gallego: Do you have any final say at all in the process of this or is the DOJ just going to instruct you to cut a check and or settle and you have no independence to actually make a decision whether or not the president deserves $10 billion?

Bessent: Uh again, that that is a DOJ matter.

Gallego: And so the DOJ will entirely make that decision if and whether or not the president should receive $10 billion. You have no say at all.

Bessent: Correct.

Gallego: So you would just have to write the check if you were told to write the check.

Bessent: Correct.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Bessent really underplaying his role here. In this capacity, I am no Treasury Secretary, merely a lowly check writer who does as he's told. In fact, for this specific reasons, I've replaced my hands with pens.

By the way, can we just address the billions of it all for a moment? $10 billion? Where does he even come up with these price tags? He sues the New York Times for $15 billion, sues 60 Minutes for $30 billion. That's like someone keying my car and then me going, "Tell you what, buy me a yacht and we'll call it even."

It is bad enough that Donald Trump is shaking down American taxpayers for an ungodly amount of cash. But he's also doing it when, thanks to him, Americans don't have a ton of cash to spare.

Sara Sidner: Breaking just moments ago, new data showing January was the worst month for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession. CNN senior reporter Matt Egan is joining me now. What else is this report telling you?

Matt Egan: Yeah, Sara, look, this is a bad way to start 2026.

(cut to studio)
BTC: A bad way to start 2026? No. Waking up with a hangover was a bad way to start the year. Having our economy mirror 2009's is a monstrosity. Listen to these numbers.

(cut to video)
Matt Egan: During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. Now, that is roughly double January of 2025 and roughly triple the end of last year. In fact, Sara, as you mentioned, this is the highest since January 2009 during the great financial crisis. Of course, that was just months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Yeah. And for some reason, when the economy was that shitty, our president wasn't going around saying stuff like this.

(cut to series of video clips)
Trump: Look, we have the hottest country in the world. We're the hottest country in the world right now. We're doing what nobody thought was even possible. Not even remotely possible.

No, he's correct on that one. No one thought it was remotely possible for a president to impose sweeping tariffs, drive up costs, kick millions of people off of healthcare and food assistance, and do it all while claiming the country is super hot. Is anyone still confused about who Donald Trump is?

Seriously, how many more examples do we need of our president using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself and his family before we all conclude, I think this guy might be taking advantage of the American people? He is suing his own DOJ for $230 million. He hosts clandestine meme coin dinners at a million bucks a pop. And remember that gift he received from Qatar?

(cut to video)
Trump: I could be a stupid person and say, "Oh, no. We don't want a free plane. We give free things that we'll take one, too."

(cut to studio)
BTC: That's right. Only a stupid person would turn down a free plane. And only a duplicitous, money hungry autocrat would claim that this free plane was actually free.

(cut to video from CBS News 24/7)
Errol Barnett: All right. The Defense Department has confirmed now that the US has officially accepted this. It's a Boeing 747 jet from Qatar. President Trump plans to use this after he rece after it receives sufficient security upgrades. How much will it cost to do this?

Charlie D’Agata: Well, Errol, some estimates put uh this retrofitting, as they call it, to up to a billion dollars. So, the the aircraft may be $400 million. It's going to cost a billion dollars estimated.

BTC: Well, I think every American loves a good investment opportunity as long as when it's finished, they aren't allowed anywhere near the investment.

Unless you think that Republicans give a shit about stopping Trump's scams, when Democrats attempted to put one condition on this gift, saying that after a billion taxpayer dollars were dropped into retrofitting it, Trump couldn't simply take the plane with him when his term was over, the GOP voted against it. I guess when you live inside Trump's colon, it's safe to assume that you'll get to go on the plane with him every single time.

Donald Trump and his family have made almost $4 billion, billion with a B, off of the presidency in just about a year. Think about that. Four billion in one year. And yet, for some reason, this fearless philanthropist still needs other people to donate money for his ballroom, for his newly renamed Kennedy Center, and even needed someone else to cover military pay during the government shutdown that he was responsible for. Can you imagine what a hero Trump would have been if he paid military members out of his own pocket? He couldn't get better press if he replaced his whole Cabinet with puppies.

But he can't do it because he is a grift obsessed asshole. This president's entire populist narrative, that he just wants to help out hardworking Americans, that he's looking out for the little guy, that he's the only man willing to take down the Washington elite is complete and utter bullshit. Donald Trump will use every renaming moment he has in office to enrich himself and his family by shaking down taxpayers for every last cent they've got.

Bessent: And the president said he will donate the proceeds to charity. You may have missed that.

BTC: Oh, I didn't miss it. I just don't believe it.
