Of All the Federal Programs to Cut, Why Touch USAID?

[Daleuhlmann]

Of all the cuts Trump has ordered so far to federal programs, this one may be the cruelest and most unnecessary of all. Consider USAID's great humanitarian work and the jobs it creates around the world for Americans, a purely non-partisan and non-political operation. Plus, USAID operation cosrs account for a comparatively miniscule fraction of the total amount of money that this country spends yearly on foreign aid anyway! To drastically cut this program to the bone is both heartless and insane. Moreover, this is yet another ill-conceived action by our renegade president, since only Congress can, by law, dismantle this pogram. It, like some of his other recent, rash ventutes, cannot be done through executive action. Do not his lawyers inform of this fact before they draft his orders?

1. The cruelty is the point. In Trump's mind

USAID is a transfer of white peoples' money to non-whites, ie 'They're ripping us off'. Trump is a white nationalist - the more non-whites die and suffer the better.

2. Trump is testing the water with his big toe

If he can get away with USAID he will move on to bigger and better things

8. that's what caught my attention,

I wonder if they were investigating him?Also Melania had used it too.

3. Google "USAID investigating starlink" for news related to Musk's possible motive

[Initech]

4. Two reasons:

1) It was about putting a political hit job on the international LGBT community (see: Fox News this week trying to justify this atrocity)

2) USAID was conducting an investigation into Elon's illegal practices cutting Starlink to Ukraine.

Put two and two together...

5. USAID was instrumental in helping to end apartheid in South Africa

Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe he just likes to kill babies and children.

6. Because USAID feeds starving black people in Africa, and Musk really wants them to die.

7. Musk And Trump Are Fascists

Fascists and sociopaths enjoy the suffering of others. It makes them feel powerful and they get a charge out of it.

9. It's even more harmful than that

Government humanitarian aid is *always* done for purpose. It's never pure generosity.

I don't know what we get in exchange for any particular donation or mission, but I guarantee some business is getting a license, some military favor is granted, we're helping some political leader who will then return the favor many times over, etc.

We don't go around touting the value of everything we gamer in exchange, but I guarantee it's more than the cost of the program

And *that* is why it always had bipartisan support.

Only evil people who want to hurt America would kill this program.

10. Orders

From the boss. Vlad.

11. USAID had likely reported apartheid Clyde starling as working for the Russians in Ukraine

Retribution and CYA are strong motives for both mango Mussolini and apartheid Clyde.

Generally, the first questions are...
1. How does at least one of them skim money off the action.
2. How does this conceal crimes like treason
3. Who are they targeting for cruelty for cruelty sake.

Follow those questions in that order and you'll likely Occam's razor the correct answer.
That
