He's announced he's suing the justice department for $100 million in punitive damages over the Mar-a-Lago raid. Punitive damages are explicitly impossible to sue the federal government over.

But if he's elected, he'll be able to tell the justice department to pay up as part of his official duties anyway.

"punitive" as in punishing? That sounds like the US treasury will be receiving 100.000.000 then, since an individual shouldn't be the recipient of any "you fucked up, now pay the fine" in any scenario.

Fines explicitly not being caused damages, solely fines.
