Donald Trump’s former White House aide is under fire after a video showed him claiming to distribute fake money to homeless people so that they will be arrested when they spend it.
Johnny McEntee, formerly the White House Presidential Personnel Office under the former president, posted a video on TikTok in which he discusses the purported scheme to “clean up the community.”
“So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car, so when a homeless person asks for money, and I give them like a $5 bill, I feel good about myself, they feel good,” said McEntee, also a senior advisor to Project 2025. “And then when they go to use it, they get arrested, so I’m actually helping to clean up the community and get them off the street.”

crimes against fellow Americans
FTFY
Very disgusting. Glad the Secret Service has been notified.
Like the movement it grew out of. trumpism is designed to be cruel. To be Sadistic. To be brutal. To be heartless. It is not a flaw in their thinking. It is a purposely chosen tactic. As it is something that is desired it will never be punished
The video in question, since links in the article lead to nothing
How is this different from the assholes that spread these as “tips”?
Those cannot be reasonably mistaken for real currency. Carefully so, even.
This person allegedly (from his own mouth) intentionally passed off paper convincing enough to be used in films, as real currency, to people with a high likelihood of mental illness, in the express desire to trick them into using it as real currency so that they get arrested.
Who knows if any of this is true, but from the asses’ own mouth, that’s a world of difference in intent.
The people who pass these out are huge assholes…but do honestly need it explained to you why tricking a homeless person into using fake money so they are arrested is not the same as some religious nutter attempting to trick you into reading their proselytization?
You just activated my fight or flight
What a weird coincidence. I posted this same image in an entirely different thread yesterday.
Well, it was the best pic I could find in Google. :)
Right, but it was on a totally different subject. Religious “tippers” in restaurants.
So another of Trump’s sycophants is committing crime that will get him arrested while Trump (who may or may not be behind or endorse the crime) gets away without consequences. How very typical.
And If memory serves, wasn’t the secret service originally invented to fight fraud? Either counterfeiting, mail fraud, or something?
They don’t care. The only way for a Trump aide to get fired is to mock them on SNL.
This guy has been getting the piss mocked out of him on TikTok for months. Every video he makes and every comment section is filled with people shitposting about Five Nights at Freddie’s - it’s pretty funny.
Wow who knew that these obvious piece of shit scumbags were obvious piece of shit scumbags. They’re a detriment to our society and republicans elect them to positions of power where they can become even larger detriments to our society.
Shows how stupid this guy is. Obviously it isn’t illegal for someone to own “Hollywood money” or else he wouldn’t admit to owning it himself. If a homeless person gives it to a store and they accept it, that’s on them.
It clearly states on the bills “For Motion Picture use Only”, doesn’t feel right, and isn’t the right size.
I’m sure he will offer to part in anyone who gets arrested during his campaign. Then conveniently forget about it should he get elected
Arrest this dumb fucker and throw away the key
He only knows the best people.
His intentions are evil, that’s a fact. But prop money isn’t counterfeit money.
Prop money is counterfeit money if you try to pass it as real money.
That’s exactly what he did with it, and then bragged about it stating his criminal intent.
DEMOCRATS are the Swamp! Law And Order!
This article is about a Republican.
What does it matter if Trump wins or not.
Us politicians are already bought and sold by capitalist pigs out of control.
Its only a matter of time that inflation keeps getting worse and worse and China is going to keep undermining US economy.
The CEOs have already secured their lifeboats, and the future of capitalism out of control is that it will hollow out the economy.
The USA has entered a death spiral of poverty by capitalist design, the CEOS are too blinded by greed to see what they have done. And the politicians are in there pockets.
It will keep getting worse and worse.
The usual “both sides” fallacy bs.
I don’t wana hear it the comment
Protip: to avoid hearing you are posting bothsideser bullshit, simply do not post bothsideser bullshit.
Maybe i like bullshit, which is why I like you
This sort of comment can only come from someone in a position of privilege.
what would a comment from the suitable class of your choice be
I have absolutely no idea what your question is, but do please let me know the way in which you are not in a position of privilege.
Maybe you shouldn’t have skipped those reading comprehension classes
Fascism is not the solution to neoliberalism.
where did I say facism was the solution
In supporting apathy you’re supporting who would win if the good go apathetic ie. Fascists.
