Trump is showing amazing restraint by suing the IRS for only $10 billion over those leaked tax records.

He "owns" majorities in the House, Senate, and on the Supreme Court. He "owns" the IRS and the DoJ. So why not just round it up to a cool trillion$? It would make the Trump family the richest on earth 2 1/2 years ahead of schedule. And who would stop him? As both the Plaintiff and the President he is essentially suing himself, so might as well make it colossal.

Like his theft of the election.

Steal some votes all across the country in various ways, not
enough in one spot to raise attention. But it all adds up.

Same way he plans his sexual assaults.

Same way with the greatest heist in US history.
Billions here and there.
And a lot more we can't see.
Won't know about it all until later.

All adds up to a cool trillion at the end of the term.
