WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration on Monday announced the creation a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies of the Republican president who believe they were mistreated by the Biden administration Justice Department.

The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” was announced by the Justice Department as part of a deal to resolve President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns.

    He’s already done enough documented horrible shit. There’s no need to add perceived or assumed horrible shit on top. It hurts credibility if it turns out to be false.

      Who’s credibility is being hurt if it turns out to be untrue? And why are you so concerned about the credibility of OP?

      And all that assuming, of course, that anything would come out, when the only people that know for sure would be himself and his daughter, that also depends financially on him.

      But I am sure that it did also hurt Trump’s credibility when he lied with about every second word (this is a hyperbole, an exaggeration to paint him as lying a lot, which has been proven again and again). It just got him elected to the white house the second time.

          So you’re saying that you would stop believing in articles about what trump did, that include proof, if something that he might have done (and sounds likely) turns out to not have happened?

          Or are you worried that Trump supporters would stop believing? Are they believing now?

            I wouldn’t, though I’m not sure what proof you’re talking about in this specific instance, but I’m not the one that needs convincing. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. If someone reads articles, or only hears from friend or peers, about a person who all turn out to be untrue, why would they believe an article that actually is true?
