Trump is suing for privacy violations about his tax returns while his administration shares taxpayers’ data with ICE. The height of hypocrisy has a price tag: $10 billion. Maybe it’s time for a class-action lawsuit from the taxpayers too. 🔄

What is his title?
What is his job?
What is his official position in the US government?
If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.
