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.

    Taxpayers: But, you are the President.

    Trump: Oh great, I’ll settle with myself for $5 billion dollars. Send a check.

          Say what you want, he got himself to become a president. Obviously he did something right.

          That something being lying, cheating, frauding, being stupidly lucky as well as removed which somehow is that combo that makes giant idiots rise to the top…

            Obviously he did something right.

            Hillary: “Donald, my close personal friend and Epstein associate, would you mind running in the Republican primary and sabotaging their campaign so I can be president?”

            Trump: “Absolutely. Would love it. Really looking forward to you winning. Unless you don’t! Haha. But seriously, good luck out there. Can’t wait to receive a bunch of kickbacks under your administration.”

            2016 was literally “What if The Producers ran for President”?

            Technically, he barely did shit other than be his usual asshole moronic self. The evil fuckers (Thiel and co.) in the shadows got him elected.
