Trump pauses $1.776 billion 'anti‑weaponization' slush fund after GOP objections
He has officially given up on the $1.776 billion slush fund. UFC fighters are backing out. He already had to cancel the Freedom 250 concert. Everyone hates him. Get ready for unhinged Trash Social rants. I'm so happy. - The Politics Chicks
John Bentley137But he's bigger than Elvis!
Brendan Buschi87I'm thankful that he's getting pushback and being thwarted. I'm not happy about what's happening to our country. He's still causing misery and mayhem at home and abroad.
Ashland Forest Dweller55Oh well . . .
vl2024.bsky.social51Keep the receipts for the soon upcoming Nuremberg Tribunal Trials 2.0!
VictoriousYankee28King rapey has finally been forced to face the fact he’s been avoiding his whole wasted life of privilege ; deep down everyone hates his fucking guts.
Craig Sicknick26Hopefully there are enough old school military leaders around that will not obey an order to launch a nuke. Trump will do so in a heartbeat if he thought it would boost his polls.
dkcoon.bsky.social25Need To Keep An Eye On The Second Part Of Trump's Corruption In That "Agreement'..."That The Entire Trump Family Can Never Have Their Taxes Audited By The IRS"...That Alone Is Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars He's Scamming Our Country Out Of...Hopefully The Judge Won't Let That Part Survive Either...
NurseGenius23I want this to be an epic failure . Sad that media doesn’t just gut him with truth bombs and smack backs. He is repulsive
@Cali-Candace.bsky.social18I’m so happy too!!! All his 💩 is unraveling!!!
Maryland Blue Girl 💙 I have words and know how to use them16Hoping that his rage because his will was thwarted leads to that much desired fatal heart attack or stroke. He also lost the Kennedy Center fight. Lawsuit against his Arch of Stupidity. Push back funding of Ho House Hall. Is he tired of winning? He's a moron and the world's biggest loser.
Chief Jam15Has anyone told the ufc idiots that ice will detain them in New Jersey?
julzvc.bsky.social13Well instead of centering the anniversary around the 4th of July, he was kicking it off on flag day with happens to be his birthday. Its not for the country, it was all for "me me me me me" as a child he needed beaten, and I am not for beating children. He's the exception
Wait, what?!13You perked up my ears with, "UFC fighters are backing out". Could it be? Is the rank and file turning on precious leader of all to himself, nothing for you? You've given my face something to smile about. 💙 It would be sad if someone unplugged Truth Social .... 🤭
debnicktom.bsky.social12The whole world has suffered because of Trump and we are desperately hoping America is regaining some semblance of sanity. But you really REALLY need to change your Constitution and your laws around presidential power. Because they are plain batshit crazy.
brave_broken_wing_in_c12"Waah! I don't want to play with the Epstein files! I want to play with the Straight of Hormuz! Waaah! This is boring! I want a wrestling match in the front lawn! Waaah! No one is coming! I hate you, Biden! You're not my real dad!"
Halfpint DJT IS MY NELLIE OLSEN!11He hasn't given up on the slush fund. A judge ordered the work on it stopped. He isn't gonna just let that go. He has MAGAts that have already spent it..lol.
max0206.bsky.social11Maybe tRump could get Kegsbreath drunk and let him have a go at ”Widdle Marco” in the ring. He’s probably wanted to do that already. Or maybe Kennedy could round out the evening demonstrating how to score a line of coke off a toilet seat.
realdefiwiz.bsky.social10he's about to have a mental breakdown after bitcoin dips below $70k lololol
bennythesnitch.bsky.social10History does not repeat but it does rhyme
letmehearit.bsky.social8Do you have any names because unfortunately I just read no UFC fighters backed out.
Mark Syzum 🇨🇦8He knew the slush fund would never happen. Now he will tell the morons he tried but "the left" and "rino's" killed it.
Mark7I’ll believe it when I see it!
Mededitor7He is starting to realize he’s a lame duck. Every day that passes he has less power and more Republicans feel safe to oppose him. One by one. Drip drip.
sunflowerpin.bsky.social6I’m happy too! But, do you really think Trump has given up on this? He will try to sneak it in the immigration bill that Republicans are trying to pass. We must stop that bill! We can do it! We have the power to do it!
Maralyn Maralyn6It would be so great if all UFC fighters would do the same thing.
Tom Bradley Jr.6And Jimmy Kimmel won a Peabody.
Jeremiah NOT An Anti-Science,Nuke Kook Nor a GunHumper Johnson6Losers NEVER win and winners rarely lose. . Experience is a dear school, but a fool will learn in no other. -Ben Franklin
Jeremiah NOT An Anti-Science,Nuke Kook Nor a GunHumper Johnson6Hope he strokes out on his birthday!!!
🚫👑Is he dead yet?🚫👑5He deserves this and worse. He needs a boop.
Rabid Cormorant5Could be a great summer 🤣🎉
Lile4He didn’t give up on a slush fund, he’s been forced to. Judge ordered independent investigation and reopened the IRS case to do so. He’s trying to hide 🤡
carpenter22.bsky.social4Good for everybody who decided they were decent people and didn't want to associate with someone like him.
sauralippa.bsky.social4UFC fighters? Backing out? Idk if I believe that one. That POS Dana White is a huge Magat
Interesting, the UFC fighters are backing out? These steroid infused MMA performing clowns are under contract with the UFC to perform once they agree to participate in a event. Maybe they can drag Roberto Duran, Evander Hollyfield or everybody's Golden Boy Oscar DE La Hoya out of retirement
Jacob J Jacobson4Auction off an opportunity to fight Stephen Miller in the cage. I’m considerably older than him and would pay a fortune for that opportunity.
BFCF4Hopefully this finally pushes the oul wankstain over the edge and his heart gives out. I’d prefer to see him falling down the stairs but beggars and choosers ya know ?
Algorithm&Blues3I would HATE to be the guy who has to clean ketchup off the walls of maralardo tonight!
Remember that Freedom 250 is a vehicle to make DJT money. He is trying to rip off the US... AGAIN
Nonnie Ida3I hope this is Karma starting to be a bitch.
Gramma Nita3May it rain all day and night on the ‘big important birthday’!
LadyJ3UFC fighters are backing out too? And no more Thug Fund? Today was a busy one for me...what a great way to end the workday.
Plyreen3He has not given up on the slush fund. It’s a temporary hold until the midterms is over then it’s back to paying his personal army.
Sharonls2A cornered rat can be dangerous
🇨🇦SgC🇨🇦2He’ll blame it all on Biden and Obama.
kalaninut.bsky.social2Wait, the fighters are backing out too? That’s just the icing on the cake😂
tracycouch.bsky.social2Don’t hold your breath. This is only a tactical retreat.
Radioman492The trump bitch gets what he deserves completely
Vicki Bennett2Today is a great day!!
@trnrz2Pray for the innocent ketchup.
Miles O'Briens Ghost2Nah Kidrock is going to fight RFK...
CHRIS MONTROSE2Get rid of that monstrosity on our property and send him home to Florida
Anne Donovan2Public pressure did it. This shows that public pressure works.
comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social2. This July 4th, > > > Independence from Trump < < < let's come together and make it happen, whatever it takes. Take Back America Day.
The Mighty BMz2I’m not seeing where any of the fighters are backing out of the WH gig. The UFC is cutting its stable of fighters (gotta find cash to pay for the arena) and some whose contracts ended didn’t sign new contracts. Could you provide a link to your info?
danistone83.bsky.social2Only failed grifting opportunity 😡
Don Shafer2I doubt he has enough self awareness to realize that it might be him.
VoteGirl2Let the ketchup slinging commence!
Carolyn Harriston2Donald Trump would be the first one to call someone white 🗑️ or a nigg-r.
Furioso Veteranus2So you think it's over and they are obeying the courts because it was reported somewhere? What the future looks like in two years, "fooled us....again".
Giant Robot2Which ufc fighters are backing out? I haven’t heard anything about this. UFC guys are the biggest MAGAts and slaves to their organization. No one will back out from it.
DoctorDee 🇺🇦 Слава Україні2Which UFC Fighters have backed out? I see the claim repeated, but never any names.
JR2I don’t know if officially is right. “Purportedly” given up the slush fund is where I would land right now
PWL2Which ufc fighters have pulled out?
A federal judge is now asking Trump's lawyers to answer for what 35 former federal judges called a fraud on the court. The $1.776 billion slush fund is starting to unravel & that's not the only front. I wrote it up here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
C.R. Denis26The injunction froze the fund. Now 35 former judges are attacking the foundation; the original lawsuit that created it. If Trump v. IRS was never a real case, the entire architecture collapses. The slush fund doesn’t just get frozen. It never legally existed.
Pino Trizz15Funny how average Joes go to jail for fraud. If it was $1.7B fraud they’d never see the light of day. Trump? Nothing
Hamcef 🫘10You are one of the people who keep me grounded. Thank you.
MayTheForceBeWithYou 🇺🇸✌🏼💙⚖️♻️🏳️🌈🇺🇦🤘🏼🎶8That was a good read, thank you. I told my family that if I die before this man, shoot fireworks for me the day of his funeral.
BionicBlonde5We need the Old Criminal charged as soon as he leaves the White House FOR ALL HIS CRIMES.
Blip@Blackhat_14I don't want THE WHITE HOUSE used as a FUCKING VENUE for UFC FIGHTS or ANY SPORTING EVENT! That is NOT what THE WHITE HOUSE represents or is FOR!!! WHO told Trump it could be used for UFC FIGHTS?
The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter3Oh, no! The traitors who attempted to overthrow a duly elected government won't get their free stuff!
Petey from the Sea2Great write-up. Very charged language from the judge. Who are the lawyers here and what penalties could they face?
We aren’t talking about this enough. Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.
Rep. Mike Levin57So Trump settled his lawsuit against his own IRS with his own DOJ over the leak of his own tax returns, which were leaked while he was President the first time and running the IRS. Make it make sense!
suzannenotsusan.bsky.social8I guess all of 405,427 people who had their taxes leaked by trumps IRS can file a claim? Trump did it. Why isn’t everyone else lining up?
Basically an Honest Bobo in Paradise4Is there some reason why Ds can't select articulate speakers for elected office? Reed usually seems to be headed in the right directions but jesus he's not terribly charismatic or even intelligible.
pepperonius.bsky.social4It also wasn't a settlement
Johnnybee4And also, every presidential candidate since Nixon has provided their tax returns. And another thing. He should have to prove that he was harmed in some way. He wasn’t.
Pronounced “Tim”3Logically, we should punish the president who allowed this, not reward him It is only fair
Larry2Trump released his returns, sued himself, withdrew the suit and drafted a decree to steal money to pay the insurrectionists. He also wrote a pardon for himself and his family in the agreement.
thurstonhowellv.bsky.social2He also promised to release his tax returns (like all other modern day presidents had)on his own after the “audit” was concluded.
Patriot🐸🚫👑2Trump probably instructed the person to leak it. It is all a con job.
I'm a little unclear why all the headlines are "Trump backs off billion-dollar slush fund" when the reality appears to be "agreed to not steal the money for the next two weeks" with no guarantee beyond that. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...
Dave Levitan49Has literally anyone in recent US history received as much benefit of the doubt in their coverage
gunderson4.bsky.social7Look at the headlines about the war too. It’s a coordinated effort by the corporate media to gaslight us on behalf of Trump. There is no other plausible explanation.
Dag.3And the his family is exempt from ever being audited again portion? Not a word.
Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop2The next move will not be so blatant.
MAGA: WE MUST CUT FOOD STAMPS TO SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY ALSO: - $150 MILLION on Trump golf trips - $172 MILLION for jets for ICE Barbie - $300 MILLION for an illegal vanity ballroom - $1.776 BILLION for illegal slush fund for criminals - $40 BILLION to Argentina while our farmers suffer 1/2
Qasim Rashid, Esq.116- $50 BILLION on illegal war on Iran - $117 BILLION in annual tax cuts to the .1% - $170 BILLION ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo - $1.5 TRILLION Pentagon budget to wage never ending illegal wars 2/2
titubasrevenge.bsky.social4I’m of the opinion that our next Congress should flip the military budget with the department of education’s budget. We are focused on the wrong priorities and have been for decades.
Rap Bastardz®3And never a single word about "how will we fund the war?"
Citruchel LLC2Thanks again, @qasimrashid.com, for staying in the fight and continuing to speak up with clarity, passion, and thoughtfulness.
artisanrox (Radical Left Fascist)2To be fair, 80% of farmers caused all this shit with their votes so that's more FAFO than something that just BEFELL them.
Mimey2Qasim you forgot about the hundreds of billions over the coming years in free handouts to rich asswipes from the dumbfuck bill they passed last year as well. This on top of the trillions of handouts they've gotten from the GOP for decades, while they then bitch about "The debt and deficit!"
There's a genre of newspaper title, "Trump says blah blah blah" (usu, "Peace in Iran is at hand"), which by itself usually puts newspaper in the role of chasing BS. Yesterday, most outlets didn't even use that dodge w/Trump's transparently BS claims abt Slush Fund. emptywheel.net/2026/06/02/a...
Special K7We’ve had 10+ years to learn that nothing Trump says means anything and it would be really nice if the media would familiarize itself with the word “claims.” As in “Trump claims” or “the administration claims” rather than “says,” which implies that they are telling the truth (they never are).
joey-citizen.bsky.social5Anytime the papers quote Trump I stop reading as it is all lies.
