It's been another manic 24 hours for the unhinged Malignant Fascist. With his political fortunes on the wane, the Epstein Files coverup signaling how much he has to hide, and his domestic and international "policies" under attack or in retreat, he 's up madly tapping out bile at 1:26 a.m. on his failing social media platform, after a day of making America a poorer and less affordable place, while trying to rob America's bank. MAGA!

President Donald Trump sued the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service for at least $10 billion over an unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns to the press during his first term in office, potentially putting American taxpayers on the hook for a massive payout.
The suit was filed Thursday in Miami federal court by Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and the Trump Organization, which manages the president’s real estate holdings. Trump had long criticized the IRS for allegedly working to undermine him for political purposes.
Trump’s lawsuit revisits a clash that took center stage weeks before the 2020 election, when the New York Times published an explosive report on Trump’s tax records that was based on leaked IRS data. Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty to stealing Trump’s tax data and leaking it to the Times. He also stole tax records for thousands of other wealthy Americans, including Ken Griffin, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, which he leaked to ProPublica.
The IRS and Treasury “had a duty to safeguard and protect plaintiffs’ confidential tax returns and related tax return information from such unauthorized inspection and public disclosure,” Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, said in the suit. “Accordingly, defendants were obligated to have appropriate technical, employee screening, security, and monitoring systems to prevent Littlejohn’s unlawful conduct.”
The lawsuit by a sitting president against the government he leads puts Trump in a highly unusual position in the case. Loyal administration officials at the Justice Department could ultimately decide whether to move to settle the case, and for how much...
=Sniff sniff= We smell an out of court settlement with the taxpayer footing the bill, don't you?. More overt self-dealing by the most corrupt, greedy, venal president in American history.
Amid growing affordability concerns across the nation, President Donald Trump said he is looking to drive housing prices further up, not down.
Trump said at a Jan. 29 Cabinet meeting he wants to make it easier for Americans to buy homes ‒ but not by making housing less expensive. Instead, he suggested lower interest rates he expects from his upcoming pick to lead the Federal Reserve will allow more Americans to buy homes even as housing prices rise.
"I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes," Trump said. "And they can be assured that's what's going to happen."...
While the Grandpa Grifter is padding his bank account with taxpayer money, he wants you to believe dropping interest rates a point or two will make it more affordable to buy in a housing market where the prices keeps going up. It's like the housing market version of stagflation. The guy who managed to bankrupt a casino in Atlantic City wants you to trust him on that.
