The Swamp’s Worst Nightmare

In just a few short weeks into President Donald Trump’s new term, a new era of efficiency and accountability is taking shape in Washington. With a mission to drain the swamp and make America great again, Trump has assembled a powerhouse team—one that feels like a political version of The Avengers, with each appointee bringing their own strengths to the fight for a stronger America.

With Elon Musk leading the charge for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he aims to slash bureaucratic waste and expose government inefficiencies. DOGE claims to have already saved American taxpayers billions of dollars, and the fight to cut even more still continues.

In a resurfaced video from 2011, former President Barack Obama is seen discussing the need to cut wasteful spending through executive actions, a strategy similar to President Trump and DOGE. “One of the commitments I made to the American people was that we would do a better job here in Washington, rooting out wasteful spending,” Obama said. “Cutting waste, making government more efficient is something that leaders in both parties have worked on. We haven’t seen as much action out of Congress as we would like, and that’s why we launched our own initiative to cut waste.”

After watching a video live on FOX of former Democratic politicians discussing the need to cut government waste, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Sean Hannity, “If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listened to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk, and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades.”

Leavitt added, “President Trump is just the first president in our lifetime to actually do it.”

In another video circulating online, Obama also said, “We can’t sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups. We are going to go through our federal budget, page by page, line by line, eliminating those programs we don’t need and insisting that those we do need operate in a sensible, cost-effective way.”

If critics of Trump and Musk in the Democratic Party heard that statement without knowing who made it, they would likely assume it was Trump. This quote, along with the backlash both Trump and Musk have faced, only solidifies that Democrats are not fundamentally opposed to cutting waste and fraud, but are instead opposed because it is happening under the Trump administration.

Past presidents have supported the idea of cutting government waste. Yet, when the Trump administration takes the lead on this effort, critics see it as a problem.

In a post on X, Musk wrote, “According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE. Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

Musk then posted screenshots showing the number of people collecting Social Security between the ages of 100 and 369, which totaled over 20 million people, who are either vampires or deceased individuals whose funds have been fraudulently collected over the years.

The 369-year-old “collecting” Social Security would have had to be born before America even existed.

This leads to the idea that Social Security was never in fact “drying up”, but being stolen.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed this issue during a press briefing, stating, “They (DOGE) suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people receiving fraudulent Social Security payments.”

While DOGE works to eliminate fraud, Michelle King, the Acting Director of the Social Security Administration, reportedly resigned after blocking an investigation into the fraud scheme exposed under her watch.

This comes after a federal judge declined to issue an order preventing DOGE from accessing federal data, clearing the way for a full investigation. This decision marks a legal victory for the Trump administration.

In just under a month of operation, DOGE has already uncovered billions of taxpayer dollars linked to fraud, waste, and abuse. Despite critics claiming that the team’s newly appointed members are too young, these innovators bring a wealth of diverse expertise from various tech sectors. Musk views the young all-star team as a necessary shake-up, bringing in fresh, outside-the-box thinkers to address decades of bloated government and mismanagement.

With so much at stake, the question arises: who are the young innovators leading the charge to root out fraud, waste, and abuse?

While critics question DOGE’s reliance on young tech talent, Musk and his recruits remain focused on their mission: dismantling bureaucratic inefficiencies, exposing waste, and reshaping government for the modern era.

If these innovators can decode ancient scriptures, they’re exactly the minds we need to decode the complexities of government spending.
