The far left describes the fund as a mechanism to "provide payouts to his fascist followers," and it is the only camp that lays out the circularity of the underlying deal: Trump as plaintiff suing the IRS he controls, settled by the Justice Department he controls, with the settlement exempting his family and businesses from tax investigation. It notes that the federal judge handling the lawsuit denounced the arrangement.

Sexual exploitation of the vulnerable is not exceptional criminality but a "historical constant among the elite ruling class" traceable from chattel slavery to the present — the same class structure that produces imperialism produces trafficking. Justice is structurally impossible under capitalism because the legal system is an instrument of the ruling class; Bondi's Judiciary Committee appearance is analyzed as deliberate theater designed to deflect from Trump.
