BREAKING: Barack Obama and George W. Bush unite to slam Donald Trump’s disastrous decision to shutter USAID which could result in 14 million deaths, calling it a “colossal mistake.”
This is bigger than partisan politics…
“Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy. Because it’s some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world,” Obama said in private comments, according to The Associated Press.
In a farewell video presented to USAID workers before the agency’s final day, Obama and Bush shredded Trump’s behavior.
Obama said that “sooner or later, leaders on both sides of the aisle will realize how much you are needed” and assured the employees that “your work has mattered and will matter for generations to come.”
Bush, no fan of Trump, condemned the cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR)—
“Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you,” said Bush.
“You’ve showed the great strength of America through your work – and that is your good heart,” he added.
Trump cut roughly 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts when Elon Musk was running amok with his DOGE initiative. The billionaire oligarch slashed the crucial agency’s workers from 10,000 to less than 300. As a result, untold suffering and death has been unleashed across the globe as innocent people are denied the programs that were helping them survive.
USAID will be absorbed by spineless Marco Rubio’s State Department and formally replaced with an organization called “America First” that will focus on Trump’s cruel, xenophobic, isolationist agenda.
A study in The Lancet found that the myopic dismantling of USAID could result in 14 million avoidable deaths within five years.
“Beyond causing millions of avoidable deaths—particularly among the most vulnerable—these cuts risk reversing decades of progress in health and socioeconomic development in LMICs [low and middle-income countries],” it stated.
Trump’s ultimate legacy will be ashes and death. We elected a monster and now the entire world is paying the price.
