Trump Claims the Right to Cut Himself Blank Checks from Lawsuits

President Donald J. Trump has claimed that he has the right to funnel as much taxpayer money into his own accounts as he likes.

When asked by a reporter on Saturday evening what it was like to be on both sides of a lawsuit, Trump, 79, responded that “no one would care” if he awarded himself taxpayer funds for his own hand-selected “charities.”

As a private citizen and as president, Trump has launched multiple lawsuits against the U.S. government. He is now in charge of them and is seeking damages of more than $10 billion.
