Trump turns the tables on Dems as he asks Vance to shift focus from Iran to blue states
WASHINGTON, DC: As Democrats plan to investigate President Donald Trump and his officials over a range of allegations, including corruption, President Donald Trump has turned his attention to his opponents by directing Vice President JD Vance to focus on alleged corruption in Democratic-led states.
With Democrats set to assume majorities following the recently concluded midterm elections, they are now in a position to seize control of committee gavels and subpoena power in January.
Trump prepares counter-investigation against Democrats amid probe threats
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to hit back at his rivals over the very issue they have been raising, accusing his administration of corruption.
The Democrat Party, lead by one of the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks in the history of our Country, and even the World, is doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt. It is a sound bite that they viciously use, over and over again, in order to nullify the TREMENDOUS & UNPRECEDENTED theft that has taken place in our Blue States - Minnesota, California, and others, all over the U.S.A. I, perhaps foolishly because the Fake News refuses to write about it, including in my First Term, don’t even take a Salary, worth Millions of Dollars. I am the only President to have done so! In any event, THE DEMOCRATS ARE CORRUPT AND EVIL, and I am the exact opposite! Fight hard, Republicans, or you won’t have a Country left! President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Nov 12 2026, 5:50 AM ET )

In a series of social media posts on Thursday morning, November 12, Trump accused Democrats of stealing billions of dollars in blue states and said Vance should focus on alleged corruption in Democratic-led states rather than pursuing an agreement with Iran.

Trump's remarks came amid Democrats' efforts to put his administration under scrutiny, accusing it of a wide range of alleged corruption.
Posting to Truth Social just before 6 am, Trump called Democrats “the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks,” and accused the party of calling his administration corrupt to distract from “tremendous & unprecedented” fraud in blue states.
Trump named Minnesota and California among the states where he alleged corruption was taking place. He also portrayed himself as the opposite of corrupt Democrats and encouraged Republicans to fight back, warning that they would otherwise lose the country.

Moments later, in another similar Truth Social post, President Trump announced that he had asked Vice President JD Vance to give his undivided attention to alleged corruption and crime in blue states, including Minnesota, California, Illinois and others.
🔥🚨 JUST IN — President Trump asks Vice President Vance to focus ALL ATTENTION on the massive corruption and crime taking place in Democrat-run cities and states. “I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters.” “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! 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! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”

“I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the US,” Trump wrote in another post.

Accusing blue states of stealing billions of dollars “each and every month,” Trump added that the budget could be balanced with” correction of this large-scale criminal activity.”
“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,” President wrote as he concluded the post.
Trump tells Democrats to investigate blue states over alleged corruption
Trump wasn’t done. In another screed, the President attacked “Democrats,” for investigating his tax returns during his first term in office.
“Shockingly, they won this unprecedented right in the US Supreme Court, and hired the best and toughest accountants in the Country to get Trump,” the President wrote, adding that they couldn’t find anything.
If the Democrats want to “root out corruption,” they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth. Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day! President DJT ( TS: Nov 12 2026, 8:23 AM ET )
