Donald Trump has found a new way to make America great again: paying people to become professional snitches.
On Tuesday, the president and JD Vance unveiled a $25 million fraud whistleblower fund, under which Americans who provide tips leading to successful prosecutions would receive large financial rewards. Basically, you can rat on your enemies to the government for cash now — and, Trump added, he will be the personal arbiter on whether the fraud is real and how much money you get.
Just think of it as a big reality TV show, like when Oprah gives out the cars except it’s that guy at work you once fell out with and you get to send him to jail.
I feel like that’s probably a huge misrepresentation of something legitimate.
Like maybe the found an activities coordinator or recreational therapist or something and asked them what they were doing that day and they answered “well right now I’m unpacking these groceries for a cooking class we’re doing tomorrow, and then I’m gonna go get things ready for game night, and I’m gonna be teaching them how to play mahjong”
Or maybe they just found the kitchen staff playing mahjong on their lunch break after unpacking a bunch of groceries.
