🚨 LMFAO! President Trump just dropped this hilarious line on Elon Musk:

"Katie Hobbs is a DUMB person. I know smart people! I deal from ELON, down to Katie. Big difference. Elon's 80% super genius and 20% he's got a little problem!" 😂

"He's a great guy, though." ❤️

It's true, and Elon might agree 🤣

TRUMP AND ELON ARE WORKING TO SAVE AMERICA!

We have undercover people in the inside midterm campaigns across the United States.

We are not releasing the footage yet because we are checking facts, corroborating sources, and obtaining comment to make our stories absolutely bulletproof.

I will also be showing up in person over the weekend to confront the people who say they are breaking the law.

We are announcing this because I want you to know I’m watching every single thing you ALL are doing.

STAY TUNED…

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

MS NOW just reported I had “landed in Russia” for meetings with the FSB. The same outlet constantly tells lies about this FBI and law enforcement’s historic achievements in safeguarding the American people.

The results speak for themselves:
• 53,969+ violent crime arrests (up 90%)
• Nearly 20% decrease in the nationwide murder rate
• 31,016+ violent criminals and gang members arrested (up 30%)
• 10 of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives captured (2.5× the prior four years)
• 11,081+ child victims located and identified (up 21%)
• 3,258+ kilos of fentanyl seized (up 8%) — enough to kill 247+ million Americans

This is no accident. It is due to the relentless work of this FBI and all of our state, local, and tribal partners.

They owe an apology to this FBI, the men and women of law enforcement, and to the American people.

-DKP🇺🇸

[Dan Bongino @dbongino]

My apologies in advance for the language here but this fake news filth is getting old. Fusion Ken Dilanian is the biggest piece of shit in the fake news media today. Today’s disgusting hit piece on our FBI reforms is out of bounds even by Fusion Ken’s low standards for “reporting.”

This MSNOW headline below is BULLSHIT. Working with state and local law enforcement WAS OUR STRATEGY. Regardless of who put handcuffs on the violent criminals.

That’s precisely why we changed how UFAP warrants were used and expanded FBI agent scoping to empower our agents to get dangerous criminals off the streets—criminals prior leadership would have ignored.

I’m not going to let this piece of filth rewrite history. FACT - I told the FBI SAICs on weekly calls that I didn’t give a damn who arrested the violent street thugs, as long as we assisted in getting them OFF THE STREETS. I said it repeatedly, and I meant every word.

Prior FBI leadership’s decisions to largely avoid working with state and local law enforcement absent a direct federal nexus was a COMPLETE FAILURE.

WE changed that strategy. WE prioritized cooperation over bureaucratic turf wars. WE put getting criminals off the streets ahead of arrest statistics and institutional egos.

And I firmly believe that shift helped drive crime down. I will not sit quietly while people distort the record and take credit for a strategy they never supported.

This is absolute bullshit.
