Donald Trump unleashes on Minnesota's Somali fraud scandal saying $18BILLION was stolen... as he names three states where it's even worse

Donald Trump sounded off about the ongoing Minnesota migrant fraud scandal and revealed where his administration believes it has found even worse corruption.

The president was hosting his annual, star-studded New Year's Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago resort when he made the comments.

As he addressed the gathering, he spelled out the shocking amount of government waste that had come from the state, days after a viral video blew the story wide open.

'They stole $18 billion, that's just what we're learning about. California's worse, Illinois' worse and sadly, New York's worse, a lot of other places,' he said.

As the assembled crowd of celebrities, members of his cabinet and family applauded, he then declared that 'we're gonna' get to the bottom of all of it.

On Friday, right-wing influencer Nick Shirley posted a video on YouTube, claiming that day care centers operated by Somali residents in Minneapolis had committed up to $100m in fraud.

In the video he stands outside two deserted 'daycare centers' which have collected $2.6m in federal grants despite not appearing to be in operation and highlighted a number of other alleged frauds.

The explosive accusation sparked nationwide anger, and the Trump administration announced on Tuesday it is freezing $185m in child care funds to the state and demanded an audit of fraud schemes involving government programs.

Hard working , decent Americans are quite rational and justified when they resent or refuse to pay taxes.

As the 3 Stooges were quoted, “Somali, Somali, Baloney!”

Or was that Salami?

For those of you who may be on X, I've been sending data to DataRepublican regarding Illinois' own fraud being WORSE than Minnesota's, and linked some of that fraud to the 64 NGO's that Illinois' own Governor Pritzker has.

Not trying to take credit for anything, I'm just curious if the efforts going on in IL and NY for example have finally reached President Trump thus the mentions. Either way, looks like it's about to get real for IL Gov. JB Pritzker.

(Disclosure: even after moving to TN almost two months ago, I still have a score to settle with that fat bastard Pritzker and it's about to get settled.)

Sunni Somalians are the best of deceivers. They are on a mission from Allah. When their deception is discovered, they mob together to kill the truth-tellers. If they are killed in the process, they become martyrs. There is no downside in Islam.

“California, Illinois, New York worse”

How is it possible to know the extent of “recipient” and “provide” fraud is worse in these 3 states when these 3 states have the Deloitte IES Integrated Eligibility System that is itself a bigger fraud than anything the Somalis can perpetrate? To give the IES EMPI Enterprise Master Person Index the designation of EMPI is the first fraud. The EMPI does the fit the definition of a “Master Person Index”.

The Deloitte EMPI routinely shows the dead as alive a eligible for welfare. That does not meet the definition of a Master Person Index.
The Deloitte EMPI routinely show the same person with multiple active ID and eligible for multiple benefits. Sue Smith, Susan Smith, Susan Jones-Smith all have the same SSN, DOB and address. But each has its own active ID and eligible for benefits. This is not the fault of the recipient. This is the fault of Deloitte.

Some might find Deloitte a convenient target because it has so many H1b. But its SWAMP credentials are made in DC, not
Bangalore or Hyderabad.
