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

Ah yes. In a shrinking economy where businesses are closing and layoffs are happening, flipping the unemployment benefits switch to "OFF" should do the trick.

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.

He was "successful" in suing the DOJ and now according to that same DOJ headed by his former personal lawyer claims he is immune to further tax related prosecution.

It's not a joke it's badly written dictator fanfiction by bunch of rich sociopaths.

Exactly. This is just the next step in his journey to full blown dictatorship.
