Getting rid of USAID does not mean the US will not help other countries. Just as doing away with DEI does not mean minorities should not be given a chance to succeed. Or that we do not want immigration into the US.

All straw man arguments.

The reason USAID is on the chopping block. Is when the DOGE asked. Exactly what do you do here? And wanted to see the books. It unearthed an unauthorized agency with no oversight from Congress.

Now the machine is going after Elon Musk for not being a paid government bureaucrat and that Musk may have asked for access to the highest level of secure programs. Basically that Musk broke the law regarding classified material.

USAID is a covert agency cloaked in foreign aid. That is actually involved in regime change, impacting foreign elections, disinformation campaigns inside other countries. Basically everything that we bemoan that Russia and China do.

Here is 100 million dollars. But here is a radio station or here is an app for your citizens. Or let us make sure your elections are fair. Let us arm your enemy.

The DC rats will not let USAID go away easily. Musk may become this Trump terms first sacrificial lamb.

Of course. I’m not opposed to operations like this. But they are supposed to have oversight. Otherwise a few people in charge usually end up causing our next war with 10-20 years.

Exactly. Bravo
