While speaking to prominent conservative commentator Glenn Beck, President Donald Trump blasted corrupt Democrat Stacey Abrams for wasting $2 billion in environmental grants. A clip of the interview went viral, provoking many conservatives to chime in with their own comments blasting Abrams for her wasteful spending and rank hypocrisy.
For context, Trump has criticized Stacey Abrams before, such as when, during an address to Congress, he said, “$1.9 billion to recently-created decarbonization of homes committee headed up, and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?”
In any case, Trump savaged Abrams in his April 24, 2025, interview. He said, “When you look at the kind of money that we found, fraud, waste, abuse, when you look at billions of dollars given to people that had nothing, yeah, and billions. I mean, Stacey Abrams was given $2 billion into an environmental account.”
Concluding his remarks, the president contextualized the scope of her fraud. He said, “2 billion. Now, 2 million is a lot. 200,000 is a lot, right? Giving $2 billion out of that grouping? No, it’s a terrible, terrible. Oh, and that was nothing compared to some of the ones that we’ve had. Are there, and the press doesn’t want to write about it.”
A clip of the incident was posted to social media, where conservatives were incensed by the blatant waste. One such comment said, “People being pissed off at Elon Musk are the people who would be pissed at the person who expose their partner for cheating 
”
Building on that point, another reply agreed with the president, saying, “Trump’s right! The fraud and waste uncovered is staggering. Billions of dollars were misused, like the $2B given to Stacey Abrams for an environmental account. It’s a disgrace, and there’s even more the press won’t touch. We need transparency and accountability!”
Wrapping up the comments, a lengthy reply broke down the situation. The commenter said, “Exposing billions in fraud, like Stacey Abrams’ $2B environmental slush fund, underscores conservative demands for accountability. Fact 1: Federal “green” programs, bloated by liberal cronies, lost $500B to mismanagement since 2020 (GAO, 2024). Conservatives fight waste; progressives enable it.”

Continuing the response, the social media user said, “Fact 2: The media, with 90% of outlets leaning left (Pew, 2023), buries stories of Democrat-linked fraud while hyping GOP scandals. This cover-up shields elites, not taxpayers. Conservative transparency ensures every dollar serves the public, not political allies.”
Addressing the root causes of the corruption, he wrote, “Fact 3: Under liberal oversight, 40% of federal grants lack audits, enabling corruption (OMB, 2023). DOGE’s findings prove conservative reforms work. Patriots, demand the press report truth and fraudsters face justice! #DrainTheSwamp”
Bringing the conversation to the President, the comment thanked Trump. The response read, “Trump’s right to call out this $2B fraud tied to Stacey Abrams! It’s shocking to see such waste in an environmental account, and worse, the media’s silence on it. We need more transparency to stop this nonsense and hold people accountable. Great job shining a light on this mess!”
Concluding the long post, the user offered Trump words of encouragement. He stated, “Keep going. You are making America Great Again. It’s about time to get a handle on all of the corruption. Must be done Federally as well as in each and every State and American Territory. This has been needed for the past 60 years. We cannot be directed by greed like in the past.”
