Hearing the critics describe this, dismantling the US Agency for International Development of President Donald Trump’s Display. But take him from someone who worked in USAID for three years: his fate was already sealed.
USAID, a US government vehicle to pay tens of billions of dollars in foreign assistance funded by tax, a worrying story about the Government Agency that goes from the railway ideologically and loses two -sided political support in the Congress and the trust of the American people.
On the first day in power Trump issued an executive government order Stopping most of the foreign assistance actions claiming that “the United States of the foreign industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with US interests and in many cases of anti -tethetic US values.” Two weeks later, he exploded the agency for “radical crazy management.”

The USAID was founded in 1961 to confront the Soviet efforts that communism is expanding in the world in development, transitional former communist countries to US allies and responds to global disasters such as earthquakes, epidemics, hunger and war refugees. It was so good. But somewhere during Clinton Administration, USAID began to promote radical social programs, such as population control.
Under President Barack Obama, LGBT and climate Ideologies were added. President Joe Biden surpassed him transgenderism, required That each foreign help program promotes this division of radical stew, even when it comes to helping in food starved refugees.
Institutionally his political culture would end up slice up The extreme left, cleaned of conservatives and independent. USAID no longer represented America or its values, becoming funded by taxpayers asylum For radicals controlled by the global elite industry composed of former assistants and officials from the past administration of the Democratic Party.
2020, for days after the riots George Floyd, 1,000 USAIDs staff demanded the “confirm Black Lives Matter” agency and accused his own “systematic racism” agency. More recently, another 1,000 USAID officials have announced openly letter defying the Biden of Israel’s policy, seeking “the immediate truce between the state of Israel and Hamas”, which would give terrorists the opportunity to overtake and kill more Israelites.
Last year, as America began to break the shackles of Dei Orthodoxy, the industry had doubled instead. The head of the International Development Society, the Association of Assistance Experts, returned to “focusing on Deia’s questions.” Interaction, the lobby of the side of help, she still pushed her Dei compact Defending “white superhumans” for racism in international development. Congress reprimanded him by blocking him to receive the funds of the US government.
In the meantime, USAID burned his bridges to the congress that pays his budget. Agency officers refused to monitor his practices. In 2023. Senator Jodi Ernst, R-Iowa, now president of DOGE, requested that they know the directing charges of organizations and companies to see if they were over-charge Taxpayers to implement the USAID program.
There was a stone repeatedly, and its staff endangered. In the end, she revealed that half of the help was spent on directing. The government audit of next year found that USAID cannot consider directing costs of over $ 142.5 billion awards. Foreign assistance became a huge financial blessing for advancement while ordinary Americans fought to pay their bills.

Lesson learned? Not. On the day the USAID headquarters were closed, his supporters gathered in protest. The speakers were separated by representatives of Ilhan Omar, Pro-Hama progressive from Minnesota, and Jamie Rskin, who operated the false imperial of President Trump in 2021. The degree of political tone of deafness in the community to help is astonishing.
Since conservatives are now controlling the White House, the US Senate and the American House of Representatives, it is clear that the establishment of help has made a bad ideological bet. Now USAID is eliminated. His fans shouted that USAID “an important tool for national security” fell on deaf ears.
In the meantime, USAID burned his bridges to the congress that pays his budget. Agency officials have denied control of his practice.
Rubio must now separate the wheat from the port, guarding those foreign help programs that reflect American values and align with American interests, especially during the suppression of Communist China.

It must replace the corrupt agencies of the United Nations, partisan non -governmental organizations and profit companies with a new role of assistant implementation that cost less, give better results, such as local groups and companies based on faith, and refrain from ideological excess. It must convey our approach to foreign assistance from endless consumption to promote trade and investment, proven characteristics of poverty alleviation and ending the need for assistance.
It’s a scary task, but too late.
