minus-squareMimicJar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·4 hours agoTreasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell visited in August 2017 during Trump’s first term. There was also a bunch of chatter about Musk visiting about a year ago, but that never happened. So we’re just in a loop of making shit up. Sure, technically it’s been ~9 years since someone in the Trump administration has publicly been there, but Trump’s current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also agrees that all the money is there and regularly audited. I know we all know it’s bullshit, but I wanted to add some facts to the conversation. (And yes, there is some irony in the source of the facts being Trump’s various Treasury Secretaries.)
