The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump claims the right to cut himself blank checks from lawsuits

When asked by a reporter on Saturday evening what it was like to be on both sides of a lawsuit, Trump, 79, responded that “no one would care” if he awarded himself taxpayer funds for his own hand-selected “charities.”

“I have to work out some kind of a settlement,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “I’m supposed to work out a settlement with myself.”

“I think what we’ll do is do something for charity. We’re thinking about doing something for charity, where I’ll give money to charity,” he continued.

“We can make it a sensational amount, and nobody would care because it’s going to go to numerous, very good charities,” the president said.

There are a number of organizations the president could potentially donate to. These include the Trump Accounts initiative or the White House Restoration Fund, which he is using to build the $400 million White House East Wing Ballroom.

The president has personally grown his net worth an estimated $3.9 billion during the first year of his second term.
