Yeah, let’s let viruses ferment in Western Africa so we can use all that money we saved to treat dying Americans at home when the chickens come home to roost.

Not to mention the void that famine creates empowering ISIS and Boko Haram. Anyone remember “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them at home?”

Probably the best ROI of any taxpayer outlay are those brown burlap bags with a big USAid printed all over.

For Trump and his cult to understand that, they would have to be clear headed rational analytical thinkers, that ship has sailed a long time back.

At least there is hope that Trump will continue military aid for access to natural resources, but I wouldn't hold my breath. He is after all a big fan of his little idol Putin.

It’s not a terrible idea but it also ties Trump to victory or he’ll never see any of the spoils and, well, it’s past inauguration so isn’t the war already over???

Same goes for shipping deportees to Gitmo, will take decades to shut it back down.
