    Isn't that what DOGE was supposed to do by cutting waste?

      I mean it's true that Venmo was not an option to donate money there prior to Trump's presidency. He probably has nothing to do with it, but who knows. Could have been Musks idea to update payment methods, or the last admin..

      If Musk's idea, wouldn't it have been PayPal?

            It seems to be tax deductible, yeah.

              I feel like it's the opposite of nice, well meaning people getting grifted by the state itself.

                  PayPal was added as well according to the article.

                  It's just not enough money to make it something I think musk would have cared about. 2.9% per domestic paypal transaction...

                  I imagine it's only about 30k a year they'd make off those little donations

                      Shitty misleading headline, which implies a shitty misleading news organization. Reading it, I assumed the Orange Dipshit is so desperate to reduce the national debt that the OD is now begging on the streets for a dollar.

                      Looking into it, donating to pay off national debt has been a thing for fucking decades. It's a pretty useless program that spent more over the decades dealing with it than the peasly voluntary taxation it's pulled in.

                      Nonetheless, the OD expanding the program to include Venmo and then a news org shouting "Trump is really asking people to Vennmo to pay off the national debt" implying how they do is misleading and gross.

                        I should've added a sarcasm tag in there. You're right though, I was trying to imply with such a crazy low percentage it's not even a drop in the bucket and probably would be considered just a straight up grift.
