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.
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.
What a disgusting billionaire worshiping sick country the US has become, just sickening
He’s suing all of us. We are the government.
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.

You shouldn’t. These are the new Nazis. Sociopaths completely without respect for anything.
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.
Yeah, but they’re an executive agency, so Trump can just fire anyone who says no, until they get to someone who will agree to let the lawsuit proceed.
Their counsel has to provide a vigorous defense of the IRS so they can’t walk into court and agree with Trump.
Are any of their remaining staff capable of providing a vigorous defense?
That’s a point
I’d hope any judge hearing the case under such circumstances would appoint someone capable of providing a vigorous defense if the executive (branch) was unwilling or unable to.
We know Bessant isn’t going to put up much of a fight.
Don’t try to make sense, you’ll scare them!
No. You can sue the IRS for all kinds of reasons related to your taxes. You’re expected to go through administrative channels first, but you absolutely can sue the IRS.
But the defendant can’t issue a counter suit. How is that possible. I hate this timeline. He will get away with it too watch…
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 $5 billion dollars. Send a check.
Taxpayers:
Americans: what a brilliant man.
Art of the deal.
Say what you want, he got himself to become a president. Obviously he did something right.
That something being lying, cheating, frauding, being stupidly lucky as well as removed which somehow is that combo that makes giant idiots rise to the top…
Technically, he barely did shit other than be his usual asshole moronic self. The evil fuckers (Thiel and co.) in the shadows got him elected.
Obviously he did something right.
Hillary: “Donald, my close personal friend and Epstein associate, would you mind running in the Republican primary and sabotaging their campaign so I can be president?”
Trump: “Absolutely. Would love it. Really looking forward to you winning. Unless you don’t! Haha. But seriously, good luck out there. Can’t wait to receive a bunch of kickbacks under your administration.”
2016 was literally “What if The Producers ran for President”?
Theft
That’s about 66-67 dollars per tax payer. Like I have money to give this fuck nugget.
Eat my ass you irredeemable cunt
Watch the fucking system eat itself alive
What a doofus. He could’ve asked for 10 billion and fifty dollars. Now he’s going to be 50$ short some day.
There’ve got to be laws against that, right?
SCOTUS: “There are not”
SCOTUS: “There are not”
- “Just give us our cut”
Because having his tax docs made public caused the Melania movie to megaflop?
What damages? How about we dig into all the fraud on avoiding paying taxes on all that money daddy gave him?
Nitpick: if it’s criminal then it’s tax evasion, not tax avoidance.
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.
