    To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it’s all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that’s easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening.

      Yes, the $250 million is all private funding. Completely above board.

      Also, totally coincidentally and not at all related, Trump wants the DOJ to pay him $230 million of tax payers money. Totally unrelated. Don’t know why I brought it up.

      He’s said similar before with his salary, while going on to take bribes and use the government to pay for services at his businesses.

      Being fair does not mean swallowing lies if intentions from a known liar. Sure, if receipts are forthcoming, we change. They won’t come.

        No disagreement here, just want to make sure we get the nuance into the conversation where appropriate.
