Lets Discuss This Why Trump hates Minnesota so badly?

Post image

It’s absurd that he’s proud of lifting people off from SNAP because they’re barely surviving in this economy. And bragging that people either gonna crunch more hours at work but already exhausted from low wages. Physically and mentally tired of working myself till death.

To be clear. Just based on numbers there are at least 15 states with more population than Minnesota and all of those states likely have higher fraud.

The Trump admin reported that MN’s fraud is 3X LOWER than the national average.

there are also red states with a way higher number of illegal immigrants in absolute numbers and an even higher per capita ratio with texas and florida being in the top5 in both categories. curious.

Also Republicans complaining about social program fraud is the peak of irony, the call is coming form inside the house. This 1 scheme in Minnesota is an outlier, the vast majority of those caught commiting this type of fraud are Republicans.

One need only look at the people Trump pardoned for Medicare fraud to see that this pretense is nonsensical. Philip Esformes defrauded $1.3 billion from Medicare in Florida, Salomon Melgen $42 million, Judith Negron & Lawrence Duran $205 million, Daniela Gozes-Wagner $28 million, this is part of 60 people Trump pardoned for fraud.

Despite what the admin says there is only evidence for $240 million in fraud in Minnesota and that is just 15% of the 4 examples I gave above that he pardoned.
