Trump's Corruption Is Brazen, Obvious, and Costly. Will Enough Republicans Try To Stop Him? [View all]

While addressing a crowd of manufacturing workers in Missouri this week, Vice President J.D. Vance detailed how his staff is tirelessly working to root out fraud in the federal government.

"There is a simple principle that I have, which is: If you are committing fraud against the American people, you should go to prison," Vance said.

After waiting for the cheers to die down, he continued, "If you are a public official, and you are not fighting against fraud, you ought to have your money taken away, because [officials] should not be able to steal from all of you."

Yes, if there is one thing the Trump administration simply will not tolerate, it is the theft of public money or government officials getting rich off such fraud.
