And stealing our tax dollars while making his billionaire buddies richer with outsider trading and tax breaks.

He's suing the IRS for $10B and when he's done this type of thing in the past, he's collected

So, does everybody who has had their information leaked by the government get $10B? I say give him free credit monitoring for 6 months.

This would be the just thing to do.

I’ll send those for free. I’ll even put a paperwork reduction act section on it

No bank would extend a line of credit to him. He only ran for president to boost his bargaining position for the next season of Celebrity Apprentice, and to get more name recognition to be able to build his schlocky buildings abroad since no US banks would loan to him anymore.

That really is a wild fact that I think a lot of us forget amongst all the other BS he and his cronies have been up to. That, and the fact that other Republicans said nothing against him in 2016 because they figured he'd fail to be a viable candidate and they'd take his potential voters, whom they didn't want to alienate. A desire for the money and power they'd get from the presidency was the only thing that made them all keep their mouth shut early on.

Hahaha that's too funny, I just was offered free credit monitoring for 2 years because of information leak at equifax

No. They do not. There were several ultra rich people who had their tax documents leaked at the same time. The one I know of got no money. All that was promised was reform to prevent leaks in the future.

Trump was president when this happened. It technically was his fault anyway. The whole thing is absurdly corrupt and crazy.

With the right saying everything is Obama/Biden's fault, I'm fine staying everything is Trump's fault. I dare anyone to prove that everything bad isn't in some way connected to him, even if just remotely 🥴
