“By partnering with vetted United States companies subject to the direction and oversight of the Federal Government, we will enhance our ability to counter [transnational criminal organizations’] threats and combat transnational cybercrime, fraud, and other predatory schemes against American citizens,” the memo said.
OMG. Are you seriously this gullible? Did you wake up yesterday morning, with your memory wiped? Does the name Trump not ring a bell?
It has never mattered what Trump “says” in these memorandums. The results are always the same. He’ll take the most noble of sentiments, and use it to do the most despicable things. Why? Because it’s always about the money with him.
JFC, man. Do you honestly think that “this time, he really means it, because it’s such an important thing”? Everything this administration does, is for the enrichment of Trump donors. It’s all a racket.
Trump says he loves dogs. He’s a huge fan of them. Am I morally required to hate dogs now? Is it supporting the Trump administration if I also love dogs?
Do you think Trump is writing every order that crosses his desk? Of the hundreds of things he signs a month, many are things that are just the output of the normal workings of government.
For instance, here’s one from last year increasing funding for medical marijuana research: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/23/2025-23846/increasing-medical-marijuana-and-cannabidiol-research
Here was one giving pay increases to all federal government employees: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/23/2025-23844/adjustments-of-certain-rates-of-pay
Am I required to be against both of those as well? How is paying government employees (not contractors, people in direct employ of the government) putting money into his cronies pockets?
Just because he’s a terrible president doing terrible things doesn’t mean I need to deny reality in order to vilify him. He’s bad. He’s doing evil things. No question at all. But if you’re so far in the weeds that you’re taking positions like, “Trump ate a taco, so all Mexican food is actually disgusting,” then you’re living in as big a fantasy land as any MAGA nutjob.
First of all, Trump hates dogs. He calls people “dogs” as an insult.
And, no…you are not obligated to hate dogs, just because he says he likes them. But, if you’re paying attention to what Trump actually says about dogs, you’d know that he’s lying when he says he likes them.
That’s what you’re missing here.
No one is saying it’s bad to go after scammers abroad. What I’m saying is, that’s not what’s going to happen here. Everything Trump does is a favor to a donor. All that’s going to happen here, is that one of Trump’s friends is going to get paid taxpayer money for these “contracts”…whether or not they had a cybersecurity company already, or they just started one last week in order to cash in on this week’s giveaway.
It’s literally what he’s been doing with every single one of these little “projects”. His donors get “vetted” by him…regardless of whether or not they qualify for the job…and make ten times what they donated to his campaign in return for that donation.
It’s all a scam.
