Trump blasts judges who blocked DOGE review, warns Hamas on treatment of hostages
Trump said he was disturbed to see images of Israeli hostages looking emaciated as they were released by Hamas.
President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Hamas to improve the treatment of Israeli hostages while blasting the judges who blocked a DOGE review looking to reduce fraud across federal government.
“We have tremendous fraud, tremendous waste and tremendous abuse, and theft, by the way, and the day you're not allowed to look for theft and fraud, et cetera, then we don't have much of a country,” Trump told reporters in an impromptu conference on his way to the Super Bowl.
“No judge, frankly, should be allowed to make that kind of a decision. It’s a disgrace,” he added.
Trump said he was also deeply disturbed to see images of Israeli hostages looking emaciated as they were released this weekend by the terror group Hamas.
“At some point we're going to lose our patience when I see that scene that I saw today with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated, that look like they haven't had a meal in a month,” he said. “No reason for that, and I don't know how much longer we can take.
“They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors,” he added.
