Phil1111 911 #7 April 7, 2020 (edited) trump creates a $2 trillion dollar slush fund for his re-election. trump canned Glenn A. Fine, who had been the acting inspector general for the Defense Department since before Mr. Trump took office. He is also in charge of pandemic relief spending over-site. With a reputation for aggression and independence. The doors to the piggy bank are now wide open. Republicans who gave trump a pass on impeachment can now be rewarded. Cue America the Beautiful.

Yup, Trump will appoint nothing but sycophants as IG so he can fully control the money. Every step is about making money. Yet the crowd who were upset about speaking fees after a presidency are entirely silent. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #15 April 8, 2020 Trump's new White House Secretary in February: "We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here, we will not see terrorism come here, and isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?"
