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.
Trump added, he will be the personal arbiter on whether the fraud is real and how much money you get.
No-one will be getting a red cent.
Well, I know a guy who is selling pardons, giving Pentagon and Mining contracts to his family, no bid contacts to his friends, taking crypto bribes, bribes for tariff relief etc. , etc.,
This is literally 1984 shit, as in it’s actually a thing the book talks about, not hyperbole.
25 mil is a insult to whistle blowers. He has spent more on golf.
I think even the trump acolytes know he ain’t gonna pay no one nuttin’.
They don’t
It won’t be people ratting out their coworkers. He wants dirt on his enemies.
Anyway, he’s just dangling the money as bait. He’ll never pay out, unless it’s to a crony.
Go on, say ‘but the Dems/the libs’.
Out yourselves as shitbrained traitors sowing discourse while fucking fascists continue to shout about their fascist plans.
So many here are cooked in the brain. You have a fucking signposted enemy right in front of you all.

I don’t even know where to start with this. This sounds like an AI hallucination.
I’d… I’d like to be paid to unpack groceries and play mahjong in senior centers
Fr, I’d work for cheap if that were the work
I’d like to just find people to play mahjong with casually. Getting paid would be a bonus.
Don’t know about mahjong specifically, although especially if you provided the tiles, I bet there’s a senior center that would help set something like that up. Some older folks in those places can be a little mentally not all there, but a significant portion have physical issues, and not all of them by any means are annoying-ass “Boomers”. I bet you could set up a regular (or maybe even irregular) time to go socialize, and maybe even find one or two that know the game (although I think mahjong is pretty easy to pick up casually). :)
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.
Or someone working in care helping with grocery shopping and socialising with clients.
I can hear the conservative talk radio hosts my parents worshiped when I was growing up complaining about this sort of thing, saying they ain’t real jobs.
Conservatives especially but really it’s probably a much larger portion of Americans than I want to think about, have been so thoroughly pilled by capitalist brainwashing that they think a job doesn’t count unless someone involved is making money from the job.

They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats.
Wouldn’t that come with the job of caring for the people at a senior center? Like, the ladies at the daycare I went to as a kid had to stock the kitchen and played games with us, seems like kind of the same deal depending on how much help the seniors need. Should they not be compensated for that?
Mahjong is actually pretty cool once you know what’s going on.
Do I have to wait until I’m a senior?
Ah, the good old Nazi Germany “Blockwart”. Yep, another tick off on the list.
Oh good. Stasi techniques.
Yes, but now your the Nazi for trying to stop a genocide, and your neighbors can rat you out for cash if you make anti-semitic comments like “Please stop killing brown people to build a Trump Tower on the Gaza Strip.”.
ZOMG!!! How can you write such things?!? You must be antisemitic.
Don’t tell my neighbors. They only hate state approved scapegoat citizens minorities, not True Americans like the non-citizen Israelis.
This double speak is getting cumbersome. Can someone ask the ministry of information to tighten up the propaganda? What is this amateur hour?
What is this amateur hour?
It’s like the typos and grammatical errors in Nigerian prince scams: those with a working brain won’t fall for it anyway, so they’re screened out early, and the rubes will get sucked in because they don’t notice anything suspicious.
This is for kickbacks or bribes. You won’t be selected unless you know him personally.
No it’s the Russian system. Everyone in the administration gets bribes and kickbacks all the time, only those who fall out of favor get exposed, there is no actual calling that doesn’t matter. It’s just a way of punishing people that displease trump by exposing their shocking corruption, while everyone else’s is there but hidden. When everyone gets corruption only those who are naughty to the president get punished.
It will be used for that. But it may also be used to put me in a camp for typng this comment… eventually
And if not this proclamation, then the next.
We are here. This is fascism.
They will take the tips and reneg on the payout, grifting 101
Hi, yes, is this the White House? Yes, I’d like to report a convicted felon and fraudster who’s harboring an illegal alien wife. They receive insane sums in government support draining resources from real, hardworking Americans.
Where?
Yes, they’re actually in DC, the White House in fact.
…
Hello? Hello??
I know a guy who spent millions of taxpayer dollars running political ads to stoke his own ego. Maybe I can report him and get a payout.
Next he will fund the Department of Education with 1 mandate, teach children to snitch on their parents.
Two things are all but guaranteed to happen:
-
Narcs will narc on fraud that doesn’t really exist. Something, something, false flag fiesta.
-
Naive, well-meaning narcs will narc on real fraud that is actually state-sanctioned and will find themselves on a list (or worse). This signals the fraudsters to get even fraudier. Lots of gaslighting of the narc may follow. Might even throw them into the loonie bin for such lunacy. And loonie bins are great for taking out those deemed to be trash, those blithering dissenting pains in the ass.
Watch your backs out there, yo. And each others’.
Trump will just pocket the money for himself.
