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.

    You mean the tax returns he was supposed to voluntarily release, himself?

    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.

    They will end up settling out of court for half that and he'll laugh all the way to the bank. Another grift executed.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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.

    I can’t believe it took this long for someone to realize they can just openly plunder and get away with it. Or that we sit around and let it happen.

    He better be careful. Not even the Joker said he would go against the IRS in Batman.

    That's because the joker never was in charge of the federal government.

    That being said, I think joker as president would be a nice step up... he's chaotic as hell, but he hates indiscriminately, he explicitly will not work with nazi's (If I recall a crossover had him meet red skull, who he opposed the second he realized he was a real nazi).

    What a doofus. He could've asked for 10 billion and fifty dollars. Now he's going to be 50$ short some day.

    you gotta use the translator:

    “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a Trump spokesperson said in a statement.

    “The IRS employee exposed factual, damning information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then obviously released to millions of people,” a rational person should take from that statement.

    More distraction from his kiddie diddlying/trafficking/protecting his handlers, I see. $10 BILLION LAW SUIT vs the IRS!!! How un-astonishingly absurd and "dead cat on table" of him

    Let's sue him ourselves, for... everything‽, in the amount of $1 Trillion dollars! muwhahahahahaaa! That should make him shit his pants back down a little

    Or just continue letting him do whatever he wants, because he's captured the "checks and balances" and proven the lack of consequences. That bitch is fucked, it's the puppet-handlers that need to walk the line (if they wanna keep the charade up). And they don't give a fuck, cause they've got the perfect patsy

    He can threaten everything once again, but good luck taking that grift to the grave. Salting the earth motherfuckers won't have a habitable Mars to run to, cause they're too busy burning the shit behind them

    Enjoy the yachts while you can! I'll enjoy my humanity, meanwhile
