Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutrition’s CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.
Despite Secretary of State Rubio’s claims that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.
These cuts contradict claims about targeting “wokeness” or “waste,” instead showing a reckless abandonment of America’s global humanitarian commitments.
The Dems should make some mention about this on the Sunday morning shows, if they were smart about it.

No one dumb and selfish enough to vote for Trump will care about the suffering of people outside the US.
I mean yes, but the Democratic voting base will. Then promising to restore international aid would probably secure a good number of first and second generation immigrants.
I personally know Christians who voted for Trump (yeah I know, but bear with me) that would care very much, as they actually do missionary work overseas to help the kind of people that would be affected by this cancellation.

that was the question:D
No, according to one of them they thought the country needed fixing, and he’s the one to do it. Wrong direction, pricing, that sort of thing.
I think they were religiously anti-woke, but didn’t want to come out and say it straight.
Funny enough, they were one of those who does missionary work. I plan on asking them again after the USAID changes filters down and affects people more forcefully.

People who think a person who handled COVID like trump did is an is the right person to manage a “crisis” he worked hard contributing to?!:D
Are you implying they care about the suffering of people within the US? Because they verifiably do not…
No, that’s literally not what they implied. You’re unironically doing the “so you hate waffles?” thing.
They literally implied that by including “outside the US”, otherwise the inclusion of those words are entirely meaningless?
