I don't believe the J6 rioters will receive a dime of Trump's slush fund.

Not the Proud Boys, not the Q'anon Shaman, nor anyone investigated by the IRS during the Biden years.
Because of some carefully worded stipulations in the decree I don't think the money will get beyond The First Family.

For one, it frees the Trump family from any tax audits so we won't know if any of them were paid a stipend this year. Then, there's a clause that requires recipients remain anonymous and amounts paid out must be kept secret. Again, Trump, his family including Jared Kushner, can basically launder money legally into various accounts without oversight or congressional review.

Given those stipulations, I can't see how that greedy family will give up one cent to dupes in red MAGA hats. Why should they? He'll still have their loyalty because he'll lead them to think he has their backs and some of them must have received secret reparations. To believe money will go to any victims of "lawfare", one would have to assume Trump is a benevolent and generous man fighting for the little guy.

"He gets us", as they like to say.

1. Good observation...

Also it could be used as a shush fund..criminal cabinet creatures could get something to keep them quiet.

2. I was thinking this also. I hope you are right. I just hope Trump doesn't get any of it.

3. And yet, it is probably already wired into

his personal account. Every. Last. Cent.

6. My brother is a die hard libertarian. He approves of many of Trump's goings on. I don't understand why he feels

this way other than we grew up in deep red Nebraska. He'll be 80 tomorrow and loves what he is seeing. I don't get it and send him lots of news articles explaining how Trump is corrupt, etc.

4. Certainly would not be surprised...

although I suspect a few bucks will get out as token payments to key folks. Enough to make a few ads and shit. trump will get the bulk of the funds, though, for sure.

5. "Carefully worded stipulations"

Since the amount and recipients will be kept secret, he can lead people to think he handed out some of the settlement to downtrodden "victims" who choose to remain anonymous.

He can stand at a podium with his fist in the air and say; "You're Welcome Patriots!" and everyone can figure they just missed the cut.

7. he'll give a few bucks

to a couple of loud mouths that he knows will blab.

8. I think so too. His 5 person panel will evaluate claims

and determine a couple people to get money and the rest goes to Trump.
