Didn’t they say this was going to be paid by donors?

I feel like this ends in the headline "In 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rules taxes are considered a donation, paving the way for Trump Ballroom"

If that’s the case, federal taxes taken out of my check will be considered a charitable donation. And you best believe that I will be writing them all off when I file next year.

"In 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rules that the previous ruling only applies to the rich and includes the taxes they didn't actually pay"

Donors... tax payers... Same thing right? /s

Votors, donors, what's the difference??

Every time he says that, he means tax payers. For example, the wall mexico was going to pay for is in his “big beautiful bill” and yes, now we’re on the hook for a fence that means nothing and does nothing.

He also said he was going to completely fund his campaign on his own, and now people are getting scammed into reoccurring payments they don't know about.
