Trump says if Democrats want to "root out corruption," they should investigate Blue States
“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!”
Reported November 12, 2026 by thewrap.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Early Thursday, President Donald Trump used a series of Truth Social posts to counter Democratic allegations of wrongdoing in his administration, arguing that scrutiny should instead focus on alleged financial abuses in states led by Democrats, including California and Minnesota. He urged investigations there and claimed theft is occurring continuously, presenting the Democratic criticism as a distraction. The same posts cited earlier Democratic efforts to obtain his tax returns, which he said found no wrongdoing, and questioned the midterm elections; those election comments drew criticism from both political sides. The exchange highlights a post-midterm fight over corruption accusations and election trust.
