Donald Trump redacts his ‘sorry’ for Joe Biden, laments the $8 million he can never have

Though MAGA is blind – willingly – it is hard to deny the cold, hard truth that Donald Trump is having the party of his life as the president of America for the second time… all at the taxpayers’ dime.

Where to start? We have his personal vanity project where he has got a massive military parade on June 14, 2025, to celebrate Trump’s 79th birthday on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army – set to cost $25–$45 million of taxpayer money. 

Then there are his multiple trips to his golf clubs and Mar-a-Lago, which has cost over $26 million already in transport, Secret Service, lodging, etc, thus funneling government money into Trump’s private businesses.

Of course, how can we forget his mind-boggling, money-draining plans, like his “Golden Dome” missile defense project, lacking oversight (and costing over $542 billion over 20 years). So, obviously, for a man relentlessly spending taxpayers’ money on half-baked plans and for personal gain, knowing that the former president gave $8 million to make treating human health easier is not sitting well with him.

Ah, yes, the classic “Trump-misrepresentation.” Either he doesn’t understand what transgenic mice is – which won’t be that shocking – or it is his usual brand of misleading to provoke his cult-like followers. What makes it worse that this is coming from the president of a nation, who is stopping to lies, drama, and more lies to stay relevant and well, to express his barely hidden greed.

The claim that taxpayer money was spent on “making mice transgender” is a misrepresentation of the actual scientific studies conducted. Biden allocated the funds for hormone therapy research on mice, which aimed to understand the effects of hormone treatments—such as testosterone and estrogen—on various health outcomes, including immune response, cancer risk, fertility, and asthma. Not even remotely close to what Trump is babbling there.

But imagine the 40,000 rounds of golf, $8 million would have gotten him if it were still around for him to splurge? You can understand why the POTUS is angry.

Now, this is Trump. Back when Biden’s cancer diagnosis became public knowledge, the president posted a surprisingly articulate and polite post to express concern for his former opponent, leaving America (and the rest of the world) in shock. Cursing an ailing man while holding a position of leadership and representing a country? That’s where Trump really shines.
