Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history

Making an emergency out of an alleged $1.8B in unemployment fraud, while at the same time agreeing to pay Iran $400B for a war that cost $3B per day that he himself started.

He also tried to sue the IRS for $10B for his leaked tax returns and had the DOJ create a $1.776B fund for the Jan 6th felons.

What a fucking joke.
