YEEESSSS! Trump Brings The House Down In Vegas With Proposal To Send IRS Agents To The Border

Posted • January 26, 2025: As busy as President Donald Trump has been during the first week of his second term, everyone has to enjoy the weekend too, right? Last night, Trump did just that, traveling to Las Vegas to hold a rally for his supporters who helped him win Nevada and its six electoral votes in November. During his speech, Trump trolled 'Sleepy' Joe Biden and did his best to make Democrats' heads explode by (jokingly) hinting at running for a third or fourth term. When he wasn't laughing it up on stage, Trump was walking the Circa casino floor to loud and boisterous chants of 'U-S-A! U-S-A!' from the patrons. Feels good to be back, doesn't it, America? Trump also used the rally to make some serious points, reiterating his promise to eliminate taxes on tips (which likely helped him win Nevada), and touting first-week accomplishments like withdrawing from the WHO and eliminating DEI from the federal government.

Maybe our favorite moment, however, came when Trump laid into the IRS and made promises about what he would do with the 88,000 new tax agents the Biden administration tried to hire with the ridiculously misnamed 'Inflation Reduction Act.' 🚨 President Donald Trump announces that he intends to reassign nearly 88,000 IRS agents to border patrol duties or demand their resignation. 📌 President Donald Trump makes a major announcement during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada. During his speech, he reveals his plan to reassign or terminate nearly 88,000 IRS agents to take on border patrol duties, a move aimed at strengthening border security. Alternatively, he states that if they do not accept the reassignment, he will demand their resignation, signaling a bold shift in his approach to addressing immigration and resource allocation. Welp. Biden did want all of these IRS agents armed, right? Now's their chance to put those firearms to good use … and not against their fellow citizens.

We can be pretty sure Trump was joking here because we know he is deadly serious about closing the border. Somehow, we don't think that sending a bunch of out-of-shape accountants down there is going to get the job done. We prefer the other solution he suggested: terminate them. Needless to say, getting rid of IRS agents was not only a huge hit with the crowd in attendance, but also to everyone watching the speech on Twitter. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GiMM_5vWgAAs3_k?format=png&name=900x900 -- LOL. Calm down, now. They're not fired yet. But soon. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GiL2eqkXQAAvn4N?format=jpg&name=medium -- Biden's weaponization of the federal government was a big campaign issue in 2024. Mostly, people focused on what that meant in terms of the last administration going after its political enemies through lawfare. But hiring the equivalent of eight military divisions of IRS agents -- and giving them all guns -- is LITERALLY weaponizing the government against the people. But Trump isn't having ANY of that. (…)
