‘Just wow.’ Trump demands Reuters give back $9M ‘NOW’ after DOGE strikes again

Oh, what tangled webs Dems and their media lapdogs weave, and now Trump is demanding OUR money back.

“DOGE: Looks like Radical Left Reuters was paid $9,000,000 by the Department of Defense to study “large scale social deception.” GIVE BACK THE MONEY, NOW!” President Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday after it was revealed Reuters was paid big bucks to engage in social engineering.

“Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception.” That is literally what it says on the purchase order!” Elon Musk stated on X.

“They’re a total scam. Just wow.”

That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam.

Just wow. https://t.co/GGxoVQSwN8

The news sparked plenty of justified outrage on X:

Granted right before Covid and ending after vaccination campaign.

Likely proof of vast psychological covid & vaccine manipulation campaign.

Obviously many more payments like these.

DOD ran this like a military propaganda campaign on its own people. Evil.

This is huge, Elon Musk exposing Reuters for taking millions from the US government for social deception. The purchase order literally says it, a total scam.

The fact that DARPA claims it was for cyber defense raises even more questions. Why would a news organization be involved…

And it looks like Reuters brought this on themselves by poking the wrong bear, although it likely would have been discovered eventually.

I can’t believe how good this timeline is!

Follow this chain of events:
1. Reuters writes hit piece against DOGE.
2. Musk tweets, ‘I wonder what Reuters are being paid?
3. DOGE uncovers Department of Defence contract paying Reuters for ‘Large Scale Social Deception.

It’s crazy… pic.twitter.com/tk7f1lw31K

Reuters received far more money than this from US government organizations, but via various subsidiaries and intermediaries to hide how they were getting it.

This is just what @DOGE has found so far. pic.twitter.com/PXbL1OkEKO
