The Associated Press has found that the decision by the United States to slash its foreign aid funding last year has increased pregnancy complications and deaths in Nepal.
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the soft power gained with USAid.
Seriously, of all the genuinely boneheaded moves The Idiot has made in his second run at infamy, killing USAid will eventually be seen by historians as one of his dumbest. And that’s saying a lot.
And this is the real reason he’s doing it. Maybe, just maybe, the orange turd isn’t an enemy agent, but that doesn’t matter. The simple fact is, there is almost nothing an enemy agent could do to hurt this country that our current president isn’t already doing. Having an actual card-carrying Russian plant running the white house would not be measurably worse for the USA than having Trump in there.
There was an author whose work I enjoyed. She stayed neutral/left in her earlier writing, but now is rabidly right both in her books and blog. I don’t read her any more, but she was very happy that the ‘abuse’ and ‘corruption’ of USAid was finally being addressed. She talked about how it was wonderful that guy got elected again, how things were going to get worse for a while and then would get a lot better, and how finally people would be kicked out of the country if they didn’t get in ‘the right way’ (she was a legal immigrant, now citizen). I stopped reading her blog, which I did out of morbid fascination, before masked thugs were killing American citizens for not turning their cars around fast enough, but I’m sure she would have had some platitudes about how it was the wrong thing for the right reasons.
