9. One wonders where Trump is getting all these moronic ideas...

...about shutting down various agencies and programs that have existed for time immemorial. He can't possibly have the intelligence to make these plans, or even the curiosity to know that these things exist. I wonder if this is one of those instances where Trump is plagiarizing various insanities from Fox "News" or the WSJ editorial page. Or maybe this is coming from alt-right websites or something. But I just can't see Trump being the least bit interested in the workings of agencies like USAID, etc.
