  He filed a lawsuit against the US government for its investigation into him during a time when he was not president. The investigations were regarding his handling of classified documents, election claims and so on. So now that he's president he's telling justice department to pay him.

    So now as president he can order his underlings to pay him, and none of us taxpayers can say "wait a minute, that's our money!", because we aren't parties to the suit. Lovely.

  Trump's new ballroom costs $250M. What a crazy random happenstance.
