President Trump just posted on Truth Social that he wants the $8 million returned that was given to Politico and he wants DOGE to make it happen.

Here’s what he said:

Whatever happened to the $8,000,000 given by our “government” to Radical Left Politico magazine, or whatever you would call it. Owned by wealthy guys, this money should be taken back by DOGE, ASAP. Also, is Stacey Abrams going to give back the Two Billion Dollars they funneled into her “environmental fund” just prior to my assuming office. She went from $100 in donations to $2,000,000,000 in just one day? Not bad!!! Get back the money.

While I hate that Politico raked in millions in taxpayer funds, I just don’t know how DOGE could get that money back since Politico technically sold a newspaper service for that money.

As far as the Stacey Abrams money he’s talking about, that was totally a grant by Joe Biden:

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin highlighted a $2 billion grant provided by the Biden administration last year to a climate group founded by progressive Georgia politician Stacey Abrams.

President Biden introduced several rules affecting home appliance use and targeting efficiency standards. As part of that initiative, $2 billion in tax money was handed over in fiscal 2024 to the Power Forward Communities, an organization linked to Ms. Abrams. The group received only $100 in tax money in 2023, according to Mr. Zeldin.

Mr. Zeldin said the $2 billion was cut as part of an overall effort that slashed $22 billion in government contracts.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but they should totally get this money back because that’s an outrageous amount of taxpayer money going to any group, but especially one that supports the green new scam.
