Trump Tells Vance to Focus on ‘Massive Corruption and Crime in Dem-Controlled Cities, States’

President Donald Trump wants his vice president to focus on addressing any alleged corruption in Democrat-controlled cities and states.
Trump added in a post on Truth Social Thursday that the Iran war is not something the administration needs “to deal with.”
Trump said he directed Vice President JD Vance to “focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime” in blue states such as Minnesota, California and Illinois.
“Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month,” Trump wrote. “Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!”
“We don’t need to deal with Iran,” the president continued. “Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait.”
Vance is the chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a group that Trump created earlier this year.
He has held several meetings and press conferences. The administration has claimed it has found more than $200 billion in fraud.
In April, Trump designated Vance as his “fraud czar,” and Vance would focus his attention on alleged fraud in Democrat-led cities.
“We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money,” the president wrote on Truth Social at the time.
