They're Literally Waiting Until They Can Figure Out A Way To Blame Trump!
Picture this: A state drowning in a sea of stolen taxpayer dollars—hundreds of millions vanishing into ghost daycares, fake meal programs, and sham autism therapies. Families who actually need help get squeezed while crooks buy Lambos and jet off to Dubai. For years, the rot festers under Democratic watch, with nary a peep from the press. Then, a Republican president steps in, slams the brakes on the cash spigot, and launches probes to claw back the loot. Suddenly, headlines scream "Trump's Cruel Cuts!" and "Politicizing Poverty!" Sound familiar? Welcome to Minnesota, 2026, where the media's favorite game isn't reporting the news—it's waiting for the perfect angle to blame Donald J. Trump.
We've seen this playbook before. Remember the 2020 election "hoaxes"? Irregularities in swing states like Pennsylvania and Georgia bubbled under the surface until Trump called them out—then it was all "insurrectionist lies!" Fast-forward to today: As Trump's second term kicks off with a bang, his administration's HHS—now under RFK Jr.—has frozen $185 million in federal child care funds to Minnesota over "blatant fraud." Why? Because audits reveal up to $9 billion (yes, billion) potentially siphoned from social services since 2018, with the infamous Feeding Our Future scandal as the tip of the iceberg. Over 70 defendants, mostly from Rep. Ilhan Omar's district, charged in a $250 million COVID meal scam alone—fake sites claiming to feed thousands of phantom kids. And it's spreading: Child care centers billing for non-existent toddlers, autism providers ghosting therapies, even ties to SBA loans funneled to indicted nonprofits.
Governor Tim Walz, the guy who sued the feds in 2019 to loosen oversight on these programs (citing "discrimination" fears), now plays victim. His team ignored whistleblowers for a decade, let paper trails go unchecked, and handed out "Outstanding Refugee Awards" to indicted fraudsters like Ayan Abukar in 2021. Property taxes? They're spiking $1 billion in 2026 to plug the holes Walz's "equity" policies blew wide open. But does CNN lead with "Walz's Welfare Waste: How Socialist Laxity Robbed Kids"? Nope. Instead, it's "Trump's Funding Freeze Hurts Innocent Families!"—as if the fraud wasn't doing that for years.
The media's complicity here is glaring. Local outlets like the Star Tribune buried the Feeding Our Future bust under "racism" caveats, fearing backlash for spotlighting Somali-linked schemes. National scribes? Crickets until Trump tweets: "Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, was caused by undocumented immigrants and their enablers—Ilhan Omar should resign!" Boom—now it's a "Trump attack on minorities," with PBS dispatching feds to "probe fraud allegations targeting Somali providers." X users are calling it out raw: One post nails it, "Democrats accuse Trump of politicizing Minnesota fraud as more is uncovered—UNBELIEVABLE how these losers just love to blame President Trump for everything." Another: "Walz still wants to blame President Trump for the massive fraud scheme in Minnesota."
This isn't reporting; it's a holding pattern. The press waits like vultures, ignoring the decay under blue-state rule until a red-team fix gives them cover to cry "overreach." Take Ohio, where Secretary of State Frank LaRose just referred over 1,000 noncitizen voter roll cases to Trump's DOJ—echoing 2024 audits that flagged thousands of potential bad votes in the swing state Trump flipped. Double-voting, petition fraud, poll worker lapses letting foreigners slip in—it's all there in Heritage's database, logging hundreds nationwide. Pre-Trump? Yawns from MSNBC. Now? "Trump's DOJ Witch Hunt!" as if LaRose wasn't begging for action under Biden.
| State | Fraud Type | Scale (Est.) | Media Silence Until... | Blame Shift |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minnesota | Child care/Meals/Autism | $9B+ since 2018 | Trump freezes funds (Dec 2025) | "Cuts hurt families!" |
| Ohio | Voter rolls/Double-votes | 1,000+ cases (2025) | DOJ referrals to Trump admin | "Election suppression!" |
It's the same script from my earlier pieces: Lawfare traps that paint reformers as villains, selective storytelling shielding socialist sacred cows, and hindsight twisted to fit the narrative. Remember when Gore cried "stolen election" in 2000, or Clinton griped about 2016 hacks? Crickets from the same outlets now fact-checking Trump's fraud warnings as "baseless." Hypocrisy? Nah, strategy. By delaying coverage, they let the cancer metastasize—then blame the surgeon for the scars.
Conservatives on X are fed up, threatening a 2026 "tax revolt" over Minnesota's mess alone. One viral clip shows a fluffy-haired Dem operative slipping: "The fraud exists, but... BUT TRUMP!" before pivoting to deflection. Even threats against journalists like Nick Shirley, who's dodging bounties for exposing empty "daycares," get spun as "MAGA harassment."
Enough. This isn't journalism; it's protection racket for the grifters and their enablers. Trump isn't the villain—he's the accountant finally balancing the books after years of cooked ledgers. Walz, Omar, and their media megaphones? They're the ones who turned "equity" into a euphemism for embezzlement. Demand audits, voter ID nationwide, and chain-of-custody for every dime. Hold the fraudsters—and their apologists—accountable. Share this on X, email your reps, and subscribe to Nosocialism.com for more unfiltered truth.
