Trump says he's transferring $10 billion from the U.S. Government to his "Board of Peace'

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes.

5 months until the Midterms.

...the vile corruption, destruction, and bloody-minded psychopathy.



...I got up this morning and I took a look at the news and I took a look at the aerial photographs of the White House and it just hit me that in this moment, in this week, we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future, and a million documentary films.

So he set up his own business called, “The Board of Peace” that is not part of the U.S.
Government’s function and or Constitutional structure? This is highly illegal.

Trump is robbing America blind.

Did State Department redirect $1.25B to Trump's Board of Peace? We reviewed the evidence
In April 2026, a rumor circulated online that the U.S. Department of State had authorized the transfer of $1.25 billion worth of funding to the Board of Peace.
-------------------
The source of the rumor is a March 26 article on Semafor, a political news media website. The report cites an anonymous source; therefore, it is not possible to independently verify its findings. The beginning of the article says:

The State Department has drawn on funds for international disasters and peacekeeping to transfer $1.25 billion to President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, a person familiar with the funding said.


Notes in the State Department's 2027 budget proposal do suggest it could use money earmarked for international humanitarian assistance to fund the Board of Peace (Paragraph 2, Page 91; Paragraph 4, Page 96).

Without a trusted source who would be able to provide documentation confirming the reallocation of funding, there is not enough verifiable information to rate this claim.
