The announcement that President Donald Trump\u2019s IRS lawsuit settlement could result in the creation of a $1.8 billion \u201cslush fund\u201d for the benefit of J6 rioters has drawn no shortage of outrage, including from some surprising critics. One example came Tuesday morning, when famed podcaster Joe Rogan not only declared the fund \u201ccrazy,\u201d but drew a comparison between Trump and the bloodthirsty son of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. <\/p>\n

To understand Rogan\u2019s assertion, it\u2019s important to know about a key stipulation of Trump\u2019s settlement. Not only would the agreement establish the fund for those who were supposedly targeted by the Biden administration, but an addendum bans the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, or his organization \u201cforever.\u201d In Rogan\u2019s estimation, this amounts to an open-ended get-out-of-fail-free card that could be monstrously abused.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is so crazy,\u201d Rogan said<\/u> while speaking with podcast guest Tom Segura. \u201cImagine like somebody accused you of murder, yeah, and turns out you weren\u2019t guilty of that murder, and then you sue them and you go, \u2018You can never prosecute me for murder again.\u2019 And then you just go straight Uday Hussein.\u201d <\/p>\n

This was in reference to the eldest son of Saddam Hussein, who was notorious for his brutality, allegedly engaging in countless acts of torture, rape, and murder, which he committed without fear of consequences due to his protected status as the heir to a dictator. Rogan is saying, in effect, that the settlement allows Trump and his allies to go on an unrestricted tax crime spree. <\/p>\n

As the Daily Beast notes, \u201cThe order also includes a block on \u2018any matters that were raised or could have been raised\u2019 in Trump\u2019s suit, as well as \u2018any matters currently pending or that could be pending.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is crazy,\u201d Rogan repeated upon learning these details.<\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t the only one who thinks so. Even Republican lawmakers who have stood by with little to no criticism of the president for 18 months have reacted with open shock and outrage. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) deemed it \u201cstupid on stilts,\u201d and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/u> (R-KY) raged, \u201cSo the nation\u2019s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong \u2014 take your pick.\u201d Meanwhile, convicted J6 insurrectionists already say they look forward to payments as high as $30 million<\/u>.<\/p>\n

While Rogan played an instrumental role in Trump\u2019s election, with a final-hour endorsement on his podcast \u2014 the most listened to in the world \u2014 contributing to the last-minute push the candidate needed for a narrow win, the influential figure has voiced growing opposition to the president\u2019s actions and policies. Rogan has called the war with Iran \u201cinsane,\u201d compared Trump\u2019s ICE surge to \u201cGestapo\u201d tactics, and expressed frustration at the administration\u2019s handling of the Epstein files. He also took aim at the wider MAGA movement, claiming in March that it is full of \u201cunintelligent dorks<\/u>.\u201d<\/p>\n
