Trump plays the philanthropist

After his scandalous video with the m. on the protesters No Kings. Trump is playing the generous card!

Translation of the Tweet:

President Trump surprises America by declaring that all the money he receives from his lawsuits will be donated to charity:

«"I gave up my salary. I didn't take it during my first four years, and I won't take it during these four years either."»

Trump is demanding $250 million in compensation

Donald Trump has once again caused a stir. The US president is demanding $250 million (approximately €193 million) from the US Department of Justice, arguing that he deserves compensation for federal legal proceedings initiated against him after the 2020 presidential election.

According to Le Parisien, this statement follows a New York Times article claiming that the billionaire wants compensation for costs and damages related to these cases. "The Department of Justice probably owes me a lot of money," he quipped, not without irony.

Facing the cameras, Trump added:

«"It's interesting, because I'm the one making the decision, right? And it's quite strange to have to sign a document that pays money to myself..."»

To avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, the 47th president clarified that he would leave the decision to the Department of Justice. He also assured that the funds collected would be donated to charities.

Federal investigations still under scrutiny

The investigations concern allegations of interference in the 2020 election and the withholding of classified documents after his departure from the White House. His legal team considers these proceedings to be akin to "political witch hunts" orchestrated by his Democratic opponents.

Since returning to the White House, Trump has made no secret of his desire to retaliate, multiplying legal actions against media outlets and organizations that he considers biased.
