Trump in office

Donald Trump has dropped his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service on Monday after agreeing to a settlement that requires the Department of Justice to create a fund for government lawfare victims.

Trump, his two eldest sons, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS in January for $10 billion after a former IRS contractor admitted to leaking Trump's tax documents to left-leaning media outlets.

"They have agreed, in exchange for the creation of this fund, to drop their pending lawsuit with prejudice, and also withdraw two administrative claims including for damages resulting from the unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago and the Russia-collusion hoax," the DOJ announced.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 19 directing the Federal Reserve to review policies governing fintech companies' access to payment accounts and services.

In his order, Trump said the government must remove burdensome regulatory barriers to enable integration of digital assets and financial technology into "traditional financial services and payment systems."

"This order will help cement the United States as the world leader in financial technology innovation, which will help drive down costs and create greater economic opportunities for hardworking Americans," the White House said in a fact sheet.

This is bad.

 Donald Trump's performance among Republicans has led to his approval rating falling to a record low as the Iran war continues to drive price increases, according to a new poll released on Thursday by Fox News.

The survey, conducted by the Trump-friendly conservative news network, found a seven-point rise in the number of self-identified GOP voters who now say they disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, with just 36 percent of non-MAGA GOP respondents saying they approve of his economic record compared with 74 percent of MAGA Republicans who say they approve.

But the supermajority of MAGA voters who still back his handling of the economy still wasn't enough to keep his approval rating on the issue from plummeting to just 29 percent — a full 5 percent lower than what the same poll recorded a month ago.

If there is no end soon to the war with Iran Mr. Trump could see approval numbers as low as Bush 43 did in 2008.
