“CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood”: Trump gives JD Vance a new mission with billions at stake

President Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social, asking Vice President JD Vance to focus on what he described as "Massive Corruption and Crime" in Democrat-run cities and states across the US. The president named Minnesota, California, and Illinois among the states he accused of being poorly run and affected by corruption, adding many more.

The statement made by the president read:

"Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood."

He added:

"We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!"

The president accused Democratic leaders of corruption, claimed billions were being stolen, and ruled out a new deal with Iran.

Trump asks JD Vance to investigate billions in alleged theft

In his Truth Social post, Donald Trump said that he had asked Vice President JD Vance to give his full attention to what he described as "Massive Corruption and Crime" in Democrat-run cities and states across the US. He alleged that many Democratic-led states, including Minnesota, California, and Illinois, were poorly managed and affected by corruption. The president also described these states as corrupt disasters and said that many other states were facing similar problems.

The president further claimed that billions of dollars were being stolen every month and said that addressing what he described as "large scale criminal activity" could help balance the federal budget quickly. Trump also accused Democratic leaders of having corruption rooted within their party.

Trump also said that the US did not need a deal with Iran. He added that the time for such an agreement had passed. He claimed that the US had Iran's money, which he put at hundreds of billions of dollars, as well as "their Strait!"

In an earlier Truth Social post from April 2026, the president had also named JD Vance as the person in charge of tackling fraud across the US. He called him the "FRAUD CZAR" and said his focus would be on investigating the misuse of taxpayer money, "EVERYWHERE," but particularly in Democratic-led states like California, Illinois, and Minnesota. In October 2026, a White House press release stated that the president and Vance were working to stop "waste, fraud, and abuse" of taxpayer money. It also stated that Vance is leading the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. Reuters reported that Vance questioned the cost of the Iran war after Republicans lost the midterm elections and said his earlier advice to end the war was right.

Before posting about JD Vance, the president shared another message on Truth Social in which he accused Democrats of repeatedly blaming his administration for corruption instead of addressing the money he claimed had been stolen in states like Minnesota and California. He also claimed that he had never taken a presidential salary and urged Republicans to fight harder.

Following his post about JD Vance, Trump shared another message saying that Democrats should investigate blue states if they wanted to address corruption, adding:

"Perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth. Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day!"
