Donald Trump’s former White House aide is under fire after a video showed him claiming to distribute fake money to homeless people so that they will be arrested when they spend it.

Johnny McEntee, formerly the White House Presidential Personnel Office under the former president, posted a video on TikTok in which he discusses the purported scheme to “clean up the community.”

“So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car, so when a homeless person asks for money, and I give them like a $5 bill, I feel good about myself, they feel good,” said McEntee, also a senior advisor to Project 2025. “And then when they go to use it, they get arrested, so I’m actually helping to clean up the community and get them off the street.”

    Actually, a carpenter dealers with wooden structures like building frames and decks. A cabinet maker dealers with more intricate woodworking like furniture, countertops, and interior decorations. If you’re going to snarky, you better be correct.

      A finish carpenter is still a carpenter.

      If I was going to be specific I probably would have said joiner, though.

      I’m a carpenter. I build high-end homes in one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the States. Nobody refers to themselves as a cabinet maker, even if that’s the only thing they do. Nobody. Furthermore, most counters are measured by the G.C. or another experienced carpenter, but the actual fitting is typically done by the dudes from the countertop company.
