    Let me get this straight. These USAID programs received just a portion of their funds from the Federal Government. They also received them from other governments and other nonprofits or donations.

    So the Federal funds were matched and they were going to prevention efforts to help poor or disadvantaged people in other countries.

    DOGE waltzed in and shit on the entire operation of providing aid to those in need in other countries because they were looking to make cuts. They didn’t even understand the organization they were cutting.

    They literally stole money and help away from the most impoverished people in the world. What a disgusting truth that is.

    “Folks, I struck the greatest deal for America, believe me! These amazing European countries? They’re just throwing cash our way, and for what? Absolutely nothing! It’s fantastic!”

    -Trump after scamming European countries who only wanted to help the poor.

      Said right after Europe as a block says they’re tariffing American goods to recover money stolen by the Trump Admin from USAID.

    What European allies? Here in Europe, there is hardly anyone left who still sees Trump’s USA as an ally. Embezzling millions from aid organizations intended for starving children doesn’t go down too well here either.
