For a guy who seems to fall asleep at least once each time the cameras are on him, Donald Trump has a lot of energy for alleged crimes.
First, Trump illegally used $10 million of taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads that he tried to claim were public service announcements, but after a great deal of public backlash and the possibility that his underlings were committing criminal theft and could face impeachment, Trump reversed course.

The president wrote on Truth Social:
The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A., and paying for them with U.S.A. money. This is a rather standard thing to do but, rather than doing that, although nothing will make them happy, I have decided to do the Patriotic Ads, among others, and pay for them myself, and with money I raised for MAGA, Inc.
The White House later clarified that Trump never said that he would reimburse the taxpayers the $10 million that he spent on campaign ads, which doesn’t matter, because Trump’s post was an admission of a new crime.
