Summary:

President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after agreeing with a suggestion that January 6 rioters who received pardons could be financially compensated, leaving many social media users appalled. In an interview with Newsmax Tuesday night, Trump responded to a question about whether a “compensation fund” for the pardoned rioters was being considered, confirming, “There’s talk about that.”

Trump defended the individuals involved in the insurrection, referring to them as “patriots” and insisting they had been treated unfairly.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if those $5,000 DOGE stimulus payments I’ve been reading about lately, went to these idiots. I vaguely recall the number of people who ‘qualify’ for it being north of 70+ million. Huh, weren’t those the same 70+ million that voted for trump? go figure.
