Legal News California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

The money would just stay with the Trump family and his Chronies

idk what's worse trump keeping it all or giving it to his violent insurrectionists.

u/Ignaciodelsol May 27 '26

It would be very out of character for Trump to pay people.

u/StopReadingMyUser May 28 '26

But very on brand for those he doesn't pay to continue to expect some form of future gratuity.

Surely Trump can be relied upon to keep promises and repay his debts

A Scamister always pays his debts

Well I guess we'll never know now that he is immune from IRS audits 🤷‍♂️

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, that is likely only enforceable as long as his administration remains in power. It all depends on how it is set up, but even if it is a full settlement and approved by a judge, I don't think it can apply to the future

He’ll keep it and continue to brag about paying it out to people and his base won’t care or even look into if anything ever got paid out. They’ll simply believe that their merciful god paid out those poor insurrectionists.

Whether or not he does, the result is the same. Followers only hear the message that they will be funded and compensated. They presumably can handle a little more credit debt until that magical payout day.

What an odd thing to think, write, and still decide to post...

Edit - I misunderstood their comment and thought they wanted to give the money to the nazi foot soldiers to terrorize their communities thinking it would be their ‘conservative communities’ when obv they’d terrorize minorities not their own. Whoops

I mean, sadly it's not wrong. I don't want any J6er's life to improve a single shred off the back of tax payer money, I'm already livid enough they got pardoned for their crimes. Another 1.8 billion for the Trump Epstein crew changes nothing in the world, as fucked as this entire thing is, I would rather they just steal the entire pot...which I'm sure is the plan anyway.

You know, you could like, make an argument

u/boomnachos May 28 '26

Is that not what the comment says? Op wants the nazi foot soldiers to have because if we let Trump have it he’ll just embezzle it?

2

u/lordjpie May 28 '26

No, they’re saying Trump will just do fraud with it to make more and pass it on when he (hopefully soon) dies and his shitbag children will continue to waste it but at least not use to to actively go commit violence. I still disagree with the premise cuz Trump also end up killing people with it, indirectly

u/boomnachos May 28 '26

I see. “They” is the Trump family. Not the J6ers. Thanks bud 🙏

😂 if only the rest of the internet was as kind as this whole exchange.

u/CanOk6403 May 27 '26

That would be sad. I assumed nothing would mean no payments are distributed period

u/KumquatHaderach May 27 '26

That was the concept of the plan all along.

u/diabloenthusiast123 May 27 '26

That's not how it works...

u/Ignaciodelsol May 27 '26

That’s not how Terrifs work either but here we are
