The president had faced intense backlash over the fund, which the Justice Department announced last month as part of a deal in which Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing is preposterous to begin with\u2026 This is more preposterous than even the usual preposterous,\u201d Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. \u201cHe sued the IRS, which is effectively suing himself. And then he settled with the IRS, which is effectively settling with himself.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Wolff argued Trump\u2019s self-serving arrangement, which critics said would have channeled taxpayer funds to MAGA allies, was an \u201coh my God moment\u201d for the \u201centire country,\u201d including Republicans in Congress. <\/p>\n<p>The president faced pushback on the fund from GOP lawmakers\u2014including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who threatened to block Trump\u2019s legislative priorities unless it was scrapped. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is adding up. The grift becomes a significant issue. And this was a grift beyond just\u2014this was just a grab in which they didn\u2019t even care,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cSo that\u2019s the moment&#8230; in which this came tumbling down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=592\">Disgraced MAGA Congressman Is In Trouble Again<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the author argued that the \u201cidea\u201d that Trump has been \u201cchastened\u201d is \u201ctotally not true.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of what is going on now is he\u2019s figuring out what he gets, what he can get,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cHe runs this government. This government&#8230; offers all kinds of opportunities. So they have to figure out what\u2019s the opportunity they can get away with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he can get away with,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s the grifter\u2019s creed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That strategy appears to be playing out in real time: While the Trump administration may have hit pause on the payout pot, a separate provision of Trump\u2019s deal with the Justice Department granting him and members of his family a sweeping tax amnesty is set to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche\u2019s vaguely worded agreement declared the IRS is \u201cFOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED\u201d from \u201cprosecuting or pursuing\u201d all claims and \u201cexaminations\u201d of Trump or \u201caffiliated individuals\u201d as well as related trusts and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung sent the Daily Beast a recycled statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael Wolff is a lying sack of s&#8211;t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>Find and subscribe to Inside Trump\u2019s Head with Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b> and <\/b><\/i><i><b>wherever you get your podcasts<\/b><\/i><i><b>.
