Trump Drops Bombshell on Blue-State Governors, and They Should Be Very Nervous
Democrats who thought last week’s elections meant they were on Easy Street are going to face a rocky road, President Donald Trump signaled Thursday.
“I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S.,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month,” he wrote.
“Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!” Trump wrote.
Trump said Vance, who had been the point man to bring the Iran war to a negotiated conclusion, should no longer focus on the talks.
Friendly reminder to the fraudsters:

“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” Trump wrote.

In a later post, Trump mocked calls by Democrats that they would focus on Trump-related corruption when they take power in Congress.
“If the Democrats want to ‘root out corruption,’ they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth,” Trump wrote.
“Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day!” he wrote.
As noted by The Hill, Vance is the chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, which Trump created this spring.
To date, the task force has found more than $200 billion in fraud.
On our task force to eliminate fraud, we’re taking every step possible to end the abuse of your tax dollars and protect the millions of Americans who use federal programs in their day to day lives.
Today, I’m proud to announce that the @WHFraudTF is partnering with @USTechForce so we can recruit the country’s best software engineers to join the fight.
As your Vice President, I’m calling on America’s best and brightest to answer this call, apply for these roles, and join our team. Help us out, your country needs you.

Some of that came in October, when the task force led the way to cut 760,000 individual accounts that are on the Affordable Care Act’s books, according to administration officials, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, estimated that canceling those accounts will save taxpayers $2.2 billion.
During the Biden administration, Obamacare enrollment increased from about 10 million people to more than 22 million.
A Department of Health and Human Services report issued this year estimated that nearly half of new Obamacare enrollments during Biden’s time in office were “likely improper, phantom or fraudulent,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
