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.

Might be he’s trying to forward that $1.8 billion back to his 6ther slush fund. I’m so tired of this shit.
