Where are they getting these numbers from?  The organizers, right? 

Is that the same source that Trump used to say he had the largest audience at his inauguration?

Couldn't find ONE article at Fox News about this while posted at all legacy websites + cable coverage.

Trump wants DOJ to pay him $230 million for previous investigations

Trump is seeking a settlement for two Justice Department probes that he faced.

Quote

 

President Donald Trump is pressing for his Justice Department to pay roughly $230 million as a settlement for investigations he faced during the Biden administration and his first term in office, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News Tuesday. 

The extraordinary arrangement, as first reported by The New York Times, would likely first need sign-off from top officials in the department who previously served as Trump's defense attorneys or otherwise represented his allies.

ETHICS out the window in this administration .... after firing DOJ Ethics Czar.

Nice deflection,  though.

I have told you before, that word does not mean what you think it means.

I was comparing like with like on numbers put out by Trump and/or his supporters.

And if it was anything, it might be "whataboutism", but again, it was a comparison.

Please do not try to argue the English language with me, I am a product of the 1960's/70's Scottish education system. 

Beerman said:

Ethics?  Ha.  What is your opinion on the ethics of those who were responsible for what brought on the claims?

Trump is the most transactional person I have ever seen. He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Overheard during cable news viewing:

Building permit...I don't need a building permit, I'm President and a great builder.

White House East Wing demolished, new images appear to show

The structure was torn down to make way for Trump's $300 million ballroom.

Could the demolition of the White House's entire East Wing have been stopped?

Quote

 

The rushed demolition of the White House's East Wing appears to break a longstanding policy requiring a federal commission to oversee and approve construction projects in Washington, D.C., before demolition begins, former officials involved in the process told ABC News.

While the approval process is rooted in federal law and has been observed by past administrations, former officials said there was no clear mechanism -- administrative or legal -- to reverse or halt the demolition, and the commission tasked with approving the construction is led by Trump's own appointees....
