President Unveils $25 Million Fraud Whistleblower Program, Then Commits the Day's Biggest Tip-Worthy Offense Himself

Standing up a new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program that promises tipsters a 1% cut — up to $30,000 — for reporting fraud through a hotline run out of fraud.gov, the President handed the floor to Vice President JD Vance, chairman of his Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, to walk through the fine print. The moment he stopped talking, cameras caught the Commander-in-Chief's head dropping and his eyelids fluttering shut, again and again, for the length of Vance's remarks — a lapse that no tip line, it turns out, was equipped to catch. He resurfaced in time to field questions on the program, proving that even a $25 million anti-fraud initiative can't stop the Oval Office's longest-running scheme: staying awake through someone else's talking points.
