It's a bad look for the IRS to leak info.

Accountability comes from firing people, and prosecuting anyone who committed a crime. Not by settling a lawsuit with POTUS.
Lawsuits fix issues - that's why we have them. No one is ever punished or fired for malfeasance - hence - lawsuits.

Hope he takes them to the cleaners.

I'm not saying that's enough in this case. There should be some compensation. No one should have their financial data revealed eithout their consent, and the IRS is probably the biggest handler of sensitive financial data in the country. They should be held to account.
But we also all know Trump did not suffer billions of dollars in provable damages over this.

His tax return indicated he pays a frickton in taxes. Regardless it’s his business. If he wants to disclose or not it’s up to him. Not some Harry Potter count blossom on MSNBC

Pay UP! Trump Wins Again. Love to see the filth melting here. 
Posted on 5/14/26 at 6:37 pm to Prettyboy Floyd
Well 1 guy leaked it. Shouldn’t he be sued? Why sue the whole country with $10 fricking billion?
This is a grift and a slime thing to do.

this makes no sense to hold average Americans liable for a federal agency’s faulty oversight of a contractor.
Who should be responsible then?

Woah that’s coming in pretty hot if it’s aimed at me. I’m no anti Trump person.

But it makes sense to not hold the IRS liable is what you really mean. If not, I do believe it makes sense the money goes to a responsible charity instead of a 4 billion dollar IRS building remodel that should not have cost more than 250 million to average Americans.

They settlement money should come out of the IRS retirement fund. That way all employees lose for letting this happen. A contractor should never be able to get access to these type of records.

Trump can not show that he sustained any damages. He (and his loyal subjects) want Trump to be paid billions of taxpayer dollars just because he is Trump. The really sick part of this corruption is that Trump wants his own appointees to make the deal to pay him cash from the Treasury before any judge looks at the alleged damages, of which there are none. Certainly not a million $$ or more.

Can’t wait for the next Democratic President to give ten billion dollars to the universities and law firms this administration has targeted! Hell, let’s give another ten billion to the DNC!
Wait a stupid precedent this sets

Only modern President to lose wealth while in office.
Meanwhile, tell me how the Obamas, the Clintons and even the Bidens are doing.

How is that?
Recent reporting from outlets like Forbes, Yahoo Finance, and The Economic Times shows Trump’s wealth has surged in the last year, driven mostly by crypto ventures, token sales, and the soaring valuation of Truth Social/Trump Media. Forbes estimates he gained roughly $3 billion in a single year, calling it the most lucrative period of his life. Major drivers include World Liberty Financial’s token revenue, investor speculation tied to his political profile, and the post-election spike in TMTG stock.
Forbes Article
Donald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. The $3 billion gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he lands at No. 201 this year.
Some AI research on the others. The summary:
How did the Obamas, Clintons, and Bidens increase wealth after office?
This part is straightforward and well-documented.
Barack & Michelle Obama
After leaving office:
Book deals: A joint Penguin Random House deal reportedly worth $60+ million
Netflix production deal: Reported in the tens of millions
Speaking fees: Obama earns $400k+ per speech
Their wealth increased dramatically after the presidency, not during it.
Bill & Hillary Clinton
After leaving office:
Speaking fees: Bill Clinton earned over $100 million in speeches
Book deals: Hillary Clinton’s memoir advances were in the $8–14 million range
Foundation work: Large fundraising operations (not personal income, but part of the public narrative)
Their wealth also increased after office.
Joe & Jill Biden
The Bidens were not wealthy during Joe Biden’s Senate years.
After leaving the vice presidency:
Book deals: Reported $8 million+
Speaking fees: Biden earned $200k+ per speech
Teaching roles: Paid university positions
Their wealth increased after leaving office, not during.
Fact is, most modern presidents and vice presidents become wealthy after leaving office through book deals, speaking fees, and media contracts. A shame but true.

Looks like the US government agreed to drop tax claims against Trump in broadening of IRS lawsuit settlement.
Only $1.9B
The Trump administration announced Monday the creation of a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies of the Republican president who believe they have been unjustly investigated and prosecuted, an arrangement that Democrats and government watchdogs derided as “corrupt” and unconstitutional.
The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” of $1.776 billion, will allow people who believe they were targeted for prosecution for political purposes, including by the Biden administration Justice Department, to apply for payouts, creating what acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called “a lawful process for victims of lawfare and weaponization to be heard and seek redress.
So, let's get this one straight:
Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns — then his own DOJ settled the case and created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” The president filed the lawsuit, the president’s DOJ settled it, and now the president’s political allies can collect the money.
The fund uses taxpayer dollars to cover Jan. 6 defendants, Mar-a-Lago raid claims, Russia-investigation grievances — basically anyone who says they were a victim of “lawfare.” They even branded it with a patriotic number: $1.776 billion.
And we're footin' the bill. Got it.
