Trump has suggested that a $230 million payment he is reportedly eyeing off as compensation for his past legal battles could be used to help fund his controversial White House ballroom.

As demolition continued on the East Wing of the White House on Tuesday, reports emerged that the president was demanding that his own Justice Department compensate him for the federal investigations he faced during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Asked during a Diwali celebration in the Oval Office to confirm those reports, Trump replied: “They probably owe me a lot of money, but if I get money from our country, I’ll probably do something nice with it, like give it to charity or give it to the White House while we restore the White House.

“As you know, the ballroom is under construction,” he added. “They’ve been trying to get it for 150 years, and I think it’s going to be fantastic. But we’ll see what happens.”

1. I'm assuming AG Pam Bondi will just pay him without defending the government in a lawsuit?

2. So much for his claim that the thing is fully financed by donors.

Not that I ever believed that lie.

4. "IF" he got the $230 million, every penny of it would be taxpayer dollars...

...which is how he intended to pay for it all along. He wanted "revenge" on as many Biden voters as possible. One way to do it is to pilfer taxpayer money, however he can get his hands on it.

7. He could be pulling a "double" grift -- collect $$ from donors for the ball room

and then collect comp for his personal legal bills. The two shakedowns aren't mutually exclusive. Must not forget how he's had 60 years to perfect his corruption. Learned it at his daddy's knee.

3. I doubt he would go through with donating the money

He can muse, but until I see actual money changing hands, I have no faith that he's being honest.

5. What does he mean by "while we restore the White House"

What else is he planning to do to the White House?

The golden Oval Office

9. Does the DOJ just have an extra $230 million laying around?

If so, why? If not, is Congress going to have to approve an additional appropriation?

10. Congress won't do crap, he just takes what he wants period

11. Can DOJ just write a quarter billion dollar check, and not have it bounce? I doubt it.

If Donnie wants the money, Congress is going to have to “do crap,” and I don’t think their constituents will like it.
