President Trump went off on the Somali fraud scandal in the “rigged state” of Minnesota on Tuesday, highlighting the massive amount of taxpayer dollars that have been stolen through social services on Monday.
The Gateway Pundit has long reported on the Somali scams in the US, which have once again come to the center following Nick Shirley’s exposé on Somali daycares in Minnesota.
In 2016, Somali welfare recipients were busted funneling millions of dollars in suitcases full of cash through Seattle, Washington, one of the states with the largest Somali populations in America. In 2018, we reported that over $100 million was funneled through St. Paul International Airport in just one year.
And over a decade ago, a whistleblower in Minnesota exposed fraud totaling over $100 million, with at least four daycare centers exploiting Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program. But officials, as they continue to do now, covered it all up.
While speaking to former DBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Trump said, “They have a country where they have no money, they have no nothing, and they come over here, and they steal, they’re able to steal more than $19 billion.” He then declared, “We’re right on their ass” as investigations into the fraud and complicity of state officials remain ongoing.
Trump further slammed Somali immigrants, calling them “people that don’t work” and “people that are just not an asset to our society, to put it mildly.”
“And we got to get them out, most of them, and it’s most of them,” Trump added.
“92% don’t work, and they have an unbelievable system, corrupt system, of welfare. You know, many of them drive Mercedes Benzes. They had nothing when they came over.”
WATCH:
Trump: A rigged state, really rigged badly, with the Somalians and the Somalians and the theft. And I guess you studied it, but I hear it’s over $19 billion, okay? can you imagine they have a country where they have no money, they have no nothing, and they come over here and they steal, they’re able to steal more than $19 billion? And we’re right on their ass.
Bongino: Yeah, that was one of the first cases when I got into office.
Trump: People that don’t work. Dan, these are people that don’t work. These are people that are just not an asset to our society, to put it mildly. And we got to get them out, most of them, and it’s most of them. 92% don’t work, and they have an unbelievable system, corrupt system, of welfare. You know, many of them drive Mercedes Benzes. They had nothing when they came over. The good news is, you notice they don’t see ships being stolen anymore from Somalia because we hit those guys with the same weapon that we take out the drug dealers from the ocean.
We stopped, every time we hit a boat, we knocked out, we saved 25,000. On each boat, and pretty accurate, each boat is responsible for the death of 25,000 Americans. Think of that, okay. And we knock them out like candy. We are knocking them out. We also do that with the pirates in Somalia. That’s why you don’t see ships being taken anymore because they don’t play games. So, you know they were stealing ships every day. Now, it takes courage to steal ships. They don’t do it. You understand.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was recently revealed that Somali fraudsters have transported roughly $700 million in bulk cash through the Minneapolis airport to Somalia since 2024, according to Department of Homeland Security officials.
