A Texas man has found himself in hot water after trying to block former President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 election. This crafty character, John Anthony Castro, thought he could outmaneuver the system, but as it turns out, the law caught up with him.
This so-called “Republican” candidate was determined to keep Trump off the ballot, even taking his case to the Supreme Court. But when the highest court in the land wouldn’t give him the time of day, he decided to take his show on the road, filing challenges in over two dozen states. Talk about persistence!

Castro’s master plan was to use the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump, arguing that he had engaged in an insurrection. Sound familiar? It should, because it’s the same song and dance we’ve been hearing from liberals in places like Colorado and Maine. Hey, if it didn’t work for them, what made Castro think he could pull it off?
As if that wasn’t enough, it turns out Castro has been up to some shady business of his own. The feds caught wind of his online tax company and hit him with a laundry list of charges. They claim he misled the IRS to help his clients get bigger refunds. Can you believe the nerve?
According to the court documents, Castro was promising his clients hefty refunds by cooking up fake deductions. And get this – he even offered to split the extra cash with them! That’s some real chutzpah right there.
The long arm of the law finally caught up with him when an undercover agent posed as a client and nabbed him red-handed. Instead of a modest $373 refund, Castro bragged he could score a whopping $6,007! What a snake oil salesman.
But wait, it gets even juicier. Castro has the audacity to claim that the lawsuit against him is nothing but political payback. He’s crying foul, saying he’s being targeted for his crusade against Trump. Yeah, right. I’ve heard better sob stories from a three-year-old who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
And get this, the cherry on top of the sundae… Castro is trying to weasel his way out of trouble by claiming he’s innocent, and he’s even boasting that he’s going to court to prove it! Good luck with that, pal.
So, there you have it, folks. A Texas troublemaker thought he could play both sides of the fence, but the chickens have come home to roost. Looks like Castro’s grand plan to take down Trump backfired big time. Maybe next time he’ll think twice before trying to pull a fast one on the IRS.
