The 20 billion Trump is giving to Argentina will be taxpayers money. People are already struggling to pay for basics.
America is currently $33 trillion in debt. Our grandchildren will be left with that burden.

Trump is demanding that the DOJ transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.

At first, you might think, ‘Can he do that?'

Then you remember the SCOTUS opinions under Roberts, which made federal agencies mere extensions of the president’s will.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts

Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?
