Just thought I'd mention this...

Mango Mussolini stated today that he is transferring $10 billion dollars from the US government to accounts he personally controls for his "board of peace".
I have zero doubt Republicans will pass legislation immediately as he has commanded and I mean that sincerely. They will very literally do anything he wants.
This is a grift and Republicans will do whatever their god tells them to do.

He has been acting as an official representative of the US at peace negotiations with Russia and Ukraine and other events.
He does not hold any official position in the US government and therefore has not had a security clearance or Senate confirmation.

I was responding to this sentence in the OP

I have zero doubt Republicans will pass legislation immediately

Just pointing out that Republicans can't pass legislation without Democratic votes.
