Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
“Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban
The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.

What no links I am shocked.

Half of what you posted is all BS.

Oh so half isn't?

Still where’s the fraud. ?

Who said anything about fraud?

When is Musk. Going to show us what Trumps. USAID funded and spent. During his 1st Term?

What does it matter? If you can show wasteful or abusive USAid funding during Trump's administration, how would that make the agency not wasteful or abusive?

But we know you’ll never ask to see that.. it’s not convenient….

It would just be further proof of the agency's wastefulness and abuse.

No doubt USAid wasted money during Trump's administration as well as during its tenure under the other Presidents.


Now an examination of spending records shows that in October 2021 $24,000 (£19,000) of US taxpayer's money was given to the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, to "nurture and encourage equality, inclusion and diversity in storytelling, by facilitating self-generated narratives from diverse community groups through the medium of film".

In my opinion giving taxpayer money to an art institute in Ireland, especially for a DEI project, is a waste of money for a country that is 30 trillion dollars in debt, and whose citizens are suffering inflationary prices for their necessities as well as an impending collapse of their Social Security investment.

FYI just because Trump considers it waste and abuse. Because he doesn’t like it. Doesn’t make it so.

Doesn't make it not.

The funding was passed by congress and signed by the POTUS

Making it a law. The ones republicans find so pesky .. when they get in their way
It is a very pesky and wasteful law--regardless which Congress passed it or which President signed it.
