Trump issues late-night demand: 'Arrest these CROOKS NOW'
President Donald Trump issued a late-night demand for arrests, claiming a dramatic rise in Minnesota autism payments amounts to a ‘GIANT SCAM.”
“Minnesota Autism Payments have gone from $1,099,946 in 2017, to $343,176,474 in 2024, an increase of 34,000% in just a few years,” Trump wrote Friday night on his Truth Social platform.
“This is a GIANT SCAM. Investigate and Arrest these CROOKS, NOW,” he demanded.
The president named several administration officials in the social media statement, including White House adviser Stephen Miller, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Trump also alleged “More Somalia involvement,” and claimed “California is worse!!!” He offered no other details but concluded his Friday night post by writing, “BALANCE BUDGET!” before offering thanks “to ‘Gutfeld’" in an apparent reference to Fox News host Greg Gutfeld.
