Are you replying to my post?
You've quoted it, but the rant in response doesn't really address anything I said.
Now it's Musk who's triumphed!

It's time to pull up the foreign aid drawbridge, perhaps staggered over say five years, advising recipient countries they'll need to fend for themselves. It'll be the nudge they need to pull their socks up and start improving their own lot and that of their citizens. If they choose not to, it's on them.
Trumps tariff trade war will make people worse off, as it did last time.
Trump is making peoples lives worse not better
“Before accounting for behavioral effects, the $79 billion in higher tariffs amounts to an average annual tax increase on US households of $625. Based on actual revenue collections data, trade war tariffs have directly increased tax collections by $200 to $300 annually per US household, on average. Both estimates understate the cost to US households because they do not factor in the lost output, lower incomes, and loss in consumer choice the tariffs have caused.”

Tracking the Economic Impact of the Trump Tariffs
The Trump administration imposed nearly $80 billion worth of new taxes on Americans by levying tariffs on thousands of products in 2018 and 2019, amounting to one of the largest tax increases in decades. The Biden administration has kept most of the Trump administration tariffs in place

You haven’t got a clue.
No a scooby
I suggest you go and spend some time learning about the realities of foreign aid…..it’s not as simple as you think.
Your ignorance is very tedious, please could you take it elsewhere….bore yer wife wiv yer lack of knowledge

You remind me of Katie Hopkins with her disagreeable attitude where cheap shots are lobbed over like hand grenades intended to cause the most offence and provoke a reaction. You could just respectfully disagree or ask a person to explain their stance further, it would make for a conversation rather than a fight.
Ah, your one of 'those', enough said
Don't fret, the only reason they're losing it, like the Democrats in the states, is cause they a) didn't expect Trump to win b) didn't expect any win to be as dramatic in terms of numbers etc c) didn't expect such a positive, proactive start to his term.
They give themselves away by their anger and inability to accept the reality.

Yeah, now I am getting the jitters... it is one thing to cut waste but another to replace entire workforces with machines.
I get USAID had to be downsized but are all the government workers across the board, going to be replaced by machines? People do need jobs.
Just listening to Bannon on Piers, he doesn't like him and says he is an evil technocrat globalist... hmmm

it’s not positive though.
The purpose of political leaders is to make life better for the majority of citizens.
Trump is doing nothing to make the lives of ordinary citizens better.

According to an obese woman with pink hair and mental health problem on YouTube.
And according to Reuter and Washington post
Exclusive: US food purchases for foreign aid halted despite waiver
The freeze in purchases of wheat, soybeans and other commodities produced by U.S. farmers could hinder or halt the operations of organizations that provide millions of tons of food each year to help alleviate poverty in countries such as Madagascar, Tanzania and Honduras, the sources said.

Washington post:
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including Americanfarms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

WRONG
It is according to facts:
Trump has ended affordable care act…..that’s making lives of Americans worse
Trump has ended forcing down prescription med prices….so they will go up thus making lives of ordinary American citizens worse
Trump has started a trade war…..that puts up prices….making lives of ordinary citizens worse
Trump is ramping up deportations of undocumented migrants, who make up 5% of USAs workforce…..causing shortages of farmer workers, cleaners, care workers…..without them American lives will be worse
Lirefighter won’t give a straight answer to any of these points, because Trump is making lives of ordinary Americans worse
Yeah, it’s a real shame, especially as those undocumented workers are paid a fair wage, given free healthcare, comfortable lodgings and workers rights. Oh, wait, no they’re not, are they? Still, as long as you and your American cousins have supermarket shelves stocked with cheaply priced goods, clean houses and yer bums wiped in the care home who cares about their working condition's, eh?

“Trump has got nothing to do with Project 2025”
The ficko Trump supporters after the election:
“Yeah it’s fantastic that Trump is enacting Project 2025 like slashing govt depts like USAID”
Trump loves the poorly educated, they are easy to fool
