President Donald J. Trump is once again showing what true leadership looks like. In a bold move that proves he puts country before self, Trump has announced he will settle his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — and donate every single penny to charity. That’s right. Not one cent will go into his own pocket. Instead, the money will go to causes that help regular Americans.
Let’s be clear on what happened. President Trump, along with his sons Eric and Don Jr., sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department after their private tax records were stolen and leaked. This wasn’t just a mistake or some clerical error. A rogue IRS contractor named Charles Littlejohn broke the law, stole President Trump’s private tax information, and handed it over to liberal media outlets like The New York Times and ProPublica. This was a direct attack — not just on Trump, but on the privacy of every American citizen.
Littlejohn didn’t stop with Trump. He stole tax data from thousands of wealthy Americans and leaked it to left-wing media to push a political agenda. And what was his punishment? A mere five years in prison. That’s a slap on the wrist for one of the biggest data breaches in our nation’s history. He should have been locked away for decades. If the roles were reversed, and this had happened to a Democrat, the media would be calling for life in prison.
The IRS is supposed to protect our private information, not allow it to be used as a weapon against political opponents. The fact that this happened under their watch is unacceptable. That’s why Trump’s lawsuit was so important. It wasn’t just about him — it was about holding the government accountable when it fails the American people.
Now, President Trump has the chance to collect up to $10 billion in damages. And instead of using it for himself or his businesses, he’s choosing to give it all away. He said the money will go to well-known, trusted charities like the American Cancer Society and others that help hardworking Americans. That’s the kind of generosity and leadership we need in this country.
Let’s not forget: Trump didn’t have to do this. He could have kept the money. After all, he was the victim of a serious crime. But he knows that the country comes first. He knows that setting an example matters. While the left tries to paint him as greedy or selfish, this act shows the truth — President Trump is a man of the people.
He told reporters that paying himself would never look right, and he’s absolutely correct. That’s why he’s doing something no other politician would even consider — giving it all away.
“We’re thinking about doing something for charity where I’ll give money to charity,” Trump said. “We can make it a substantial amount. Nobody would care because it’s going to go to numerous very good charities.”
Trump added, “If I pay myself, that somehow will never look good. A lot of outside people said, ‘What a great idea,’ because nobody cares how much if it goes to a good charity. So you settle by giving charities a lot of money and I think we’re going to do something like that. We’re looking to do something like that.”
This lawsuit and Trump’s response to it remind us what’s at stake in our country. Our privacy, our freedoms, and our trust in government are under attack. But thanks to leaders like President Trump, we still have hope. He’s fighting not just for himself, but for all of us. And he’s proving, once again, that he’s not in this for the money or the fame — he’s in it to Make America Great Again.
We need more of this kind of leadership. We need more people willing to stand up to the deep state and corrupt institutions. And we need to support the man who’s been standing in the gap for us all along. Thank you, President Trump. America is lucky to have you.
