I love how he can't think of another number than $10B. He wants $10B from IRS. He alleges $10B in daycare fraud in MN. The border wall was going to cost $10B or less. He claimed in 2025 he eliminated exactly $10B was saved in "waste fraud and abuse" findings.

He can't even bother to switch the numbers up for his lies, but I guess when you believe a number can be reduced by 600%, anything goes.

Once again bullying friends into giving him what he wants. Surprised that isn't written in his book.
