If Trump wants to donate to the cancer foundation, then do it through regular appropriations

...since the money paid to him in his phony 'lawsuit' would come out of general revenue with no budget offset.

Trump said he would donate any money he received in a $10 billion lawsuit that he filed against the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service over an unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns to the press during his first term in office.

“What I would do? Tell them to pay me, but I’ll give 100% of the money to charity,” Trump said, floating the American Cancer Society as a potential beneficiary.

The difference would be that the $10b appropriated could be 'paid for' instead of just outright stealing it with historically unfulfilled promises to donate it; like how his family's 'charity' foundation was convicted of and fined $2 million for misusing charity foundation to further his political and business interests; Trump admitting to the crimes, in the pleading:

Among other things, Trump acknowledged in a legal filing that he allowed his presidential campaign staff to coordinate with the Trump Foundation in holding a fundraiser for veterans during the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses.

No one should believe this latest scam being perpetrated by an already convicted fraudster. If he wants to give money to cancer, then make his party restore the funding he just cut from that very same research.

Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) accounts for substantial Defense Department medical research and had reductions or eliminations in specific disease areas, with reporting that some cancer programs (pancreatic, kidney, lung) were rolled under another program that did not receive additional funding for 2025. News outlets and scientific organizations reported halted grants, frozen funding to universities and clinical trials, and researchers forced to pause work — phenomena described as “devastating” by cancer scientists and patient advocates

1. this money will go straight to his pockets, it won't go to one single charity

2. You probably missed it because the fake news didn't report it, but

Trump's imaginary friend officially declared that TRUMP has got to be the most honest person in the world!

What more PROOF do you people WANT, geez?!?

3. why not do as i do and write them a check

that way it is deductible (which may be the entire scam as he deducts the treasury money so as not to pay taxes on the crypto income.)
