This might end up being Trump’s most historic mistake: Foreign aid is not just charity—it’s an investment in stability, diplomacy, and American interests and it saves American lives too.

Since Donald Trump has pulled USAID, its led to: - 52,000 estimated American jobs LOST - Job losses have affected at least 37 states and counting. But if that doesn’t move you, here’s how it will hurt OUR country even more:
Where are the farmers? Most likely they and their families voted orange
Sad. Neither Trump or musk give a damn because they’re rich. Shame on the gop for allowing this to happen. @techfpv5965.bsky.social
- USAID's investments in developing countries create more resilient markets for U.S. exports. - Humanitarian aid also fights diseases and viruses BEFORE they reach the U.S.
USAID also has another mission, one that most people aren't aware of and it is why Putin is having Trump and Musk attack it. Getting rid of USAID will be dangerous not only for the US but the world.
Not only will Children die, but more viruses and diseases will reach us as a consequence. - Prevents migration by easing local pressures. - Creates international partnerships while Russia and China carve up interests. This will have far reaching global implications.
Maybe we'll get bleach for free?
Crimes against humanity
And it’s all on Trump and the people who voted for him.
Here's your call to activism - WorldVsTrump.com -- let's organize.
If world leaders need to be pricked and prodded into this we are done for.
Never hurts to give democratic cover.
It's on Trump and every eligible voter who did not vote for Harris.
They. Don’t. Care.
They will face retribution sooner or later
Trump is willing to kill any who refuse to vote for him and all who reject his iron-fisted rule. He won't care who lives or dies...! He won't even turn against Putin. Blood is on Trump's and Putin's hands...! We gotta expose their monstrous actions to the entire world!
I'm not making any threats, wishing ill of anybody or predicting anything. But, it seems as though Trump and Musk or anybody else in their administration had better have extra alert security because they are creating a condition that will foment violent reactions to their policies.
Now that comrade Trump has agreed to stop the bad tariff policy for 30 days against Mexico. Will Republicans join Democrat Democrats to say that the tariffs are bad? Since Republicans could only do and think what Trump tells them to think.
Gonna go with… they don’t care. We are mere canon fodder
It doesn’t matter anymore who it’s all on. We are all going to suffer and our Democrat leaders are standing by letting it happen. Don’t tell me they are powerless. There must be some sort of action that can be taken. I don’t think our founding fathers would allow this
America first huh? This fucking time out from the rest of the world sucks. Nut jobs in control.
That's exactly why he's doing it
Except he doesn't care! & MAGA doesn't care! Their racism is greater than all of that! Sickening!
Trump made it clear when bodies were being pulled out of the Potomac that he does not care how many Americans have to die to satisfy his ego. He doesn't care if more Americans die.
Nah, making his supporters hungry and unable to feed their families is going to be Trump’s biggest mistake. The only way those peeps understand is something hitting them right on the nose.
It's not a "mistake". He works for Russia and China. These cedes influence to them. It's ON PURPOSE, for this reason.
Him and his MAGATS are too short sighted and nativist to see any of this. They do NOT understand we live in a big wide world.
Yes, and those are all investments he hates.
Unfortunately, the bill in red blood will be paid in a decade by American Service members…who will “shockingly” not have the last name of “Trump” or “Musk”.
Everything with that piece of shit is transactional. Never would it occur to that selfish sack of shit to do anything that’s good for the country and what’s right.
It also stops those countries from building ties with Russia and China.
Yup, if we had been better neighbors for the last 50 years panama would have not agreed to Belt And Road money
Or his most deliberate ploy to help his Russian masters
My children will still be cleaning 🍊🤡's mess. If the US survives!
It’s called soft power for a reason. Wake up we are being destroyed by President musk
This is capitalism! They make stuff cheaper and keep cutting the quality to make a profit! Capitalism eats itself! Fuck the bourgeois!
Trump doesn’t care about any of those things, and Putin opposes them, so down they go.
Don't care about historic mistakes, only fatal mistakes.
He doesn’t understand how debt increases the stability of a global market
He has NO IDEA what he's doing!
There seems to be a thought here that it matters if everyday people are hurt, it doesn’t “mistake” means nothing to a “man” with no empathy
He does not understand that these investments enable us to call the shots, so to speak. It gives us a seat at the table to look out for our own interests while we do good.
I wonder how much he and his family pumped into the venture before making the announcement?
Which we all learned in world history in the 7th grade thank you!
to call it a mistake makes it sound like trump just said 2+2=5. its not a mistake. this is what he intends to do. this is what he wants. WHERE IS THE MISTAKE? ITS INTENTIONAL! use the right words.
I don't think Trump cares, he's the "king of chaos" & he doesn't care about anyone but Trump. We saw how much Trump really cared while MILLIONS were dying during COVID.
It's also like, one of the things that made America great!!
Tell me something I something know. Like how can I get my representatives to enforce the Constitution?

He will just blame any issues that arise on someone else. And his selfish followers will cheer him on because it don’t hurt them to hurt others
And look at what Trump is doing in South Africa that magically coincides with Musk posts and the fact that Musk is trying to protect Whites in Africa from "racism" and "oppression". We really are ruled by Oligarchs now. I used to just think that was a Bernie catch phrase, um, he was right all along.
🎯
Do you think THE ORANGE FVCKER CARES ?
No, this is absolutely intentional. It’s not a “mistake”. He doesn’t make any, remember???
You actually think President Musk cares about any of that??
Good gawd, I hope he makes a fatal mistake soon. I'm atheist and even I'm starting to wonder if trump or musk aren't the antichrist
Exactly, but none of this directly benefits him.
He’s too dumb to understand that.
He does not care. He wants us all to die.
Soft power is extremely effective... Nothing about Trump is subtle, nuanced and multidimensional; it's no wonder he doesn't understand it.
China be like; “Excellent”
Yeah. But does it make Trump money? If not, he's not interested.
This "person" doesn't give a damn about America or the people living in the states, his agenda is Me,me,me,me and maybe me.
It wont hurt him, it will hurt America further down the line.
That's a concept and a bridge too far for a morally bankrupt narcissist, the convicted cheese doodle. 🤡🖕
Usaid buys American grain and soy. This will hurt farmers.
He doesn't care about any lives but his own and the money he is stealing.
Mistake? Like he cares? Russia just congratulated Musk. Putin likes what Trump is doing with the EU. We need people to get out of the weeds and take a 10,000 foot view. We lost the government last election. Need a new plan. Any state AG with a spine feel like arresting Musk?
Noblesse Oblige
He doesn’t fucking care
Im reading that, apparently, Elon thinks USAID is a criminal organization because it helped with ending South Afircan apartheid which his family benefited from enormously.
The current policies will completely isolate USA and make us hated around the World. Meanwhile, China will move in to fill the vacuum in World leadership and show everyone how better they are because they had no colonialist era and they take care of their people. It is the decline of post WW2 order.
Trump is so lousy at diplomacy.
Trump IS the mistake.
My guess is he’ll give the contract to Franklin Graham, the fucking charlatan. They’re buddies you know. And we know how he rewards those who kiss the orange ass. #FauxChristians
EXACTLY! It helps prevent the spread of deadly disease.
Havent seen anyone talk about this yet, Trump does everything from Putins playbook, so is anyone else wondering what Trumps version of Putins Tituskhy will look like? my guess is crypto will most likely be the way he will/would fund it. i dont doubt its coming, possibly some jan 6 rioters in there.
Treasury, Tariffs, Nominees, DEPLETION OF THE FAA WILL ALL BE DEADLY & CATASTROPHIC!!!
Trump:Worst Errors so far.1/ Appointing the Worst Possible Nominees for Critically Important Cabinet Positions.2/ Allowing Musk to Dismantle & Destroy The Computer Systems & Critical DATA, in Federal Government Agencies, (THE WORST THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT)!TARIFFS Will Be Catastrophic;must RESCIND⚖️🇺🇸
Not to mention a valuable source of intelligence.
We can use some of that over here.
Bold of you to assume he cares about American interests or American lives.
how soon people forget 9/11, America needed our allies.
"A single enemy abroad gains an army of support at home"... quote from The Dictator's Handbook.
He doesn't give a damn! It's his goal to completely destroy America as we know it and be the leader of tyranny, period.
Marco Rubio stated he is now in charge of this department and assigned 'someone' to handle stuff. He did not name this someone. Is being in charge or overseeing this agency in his job description that he was confirmed for????
Now, now, now. There’s still this afternoon.
Speaker Mike Johnson 202-225-2777 Washington DC office Majority Leader John Thune 202-224-2321 or 1-866-850-3855 Until GOP leadership says enough is enough, this is going to continue. We have to call these men and demand that they take action.
don't just share this post, make the calls and share it on your feed specifically to those accounts that have large followings and ask them to do the same. The GOP will protect their power. We first have to stop them then we can work on doing the removal process. Stopping them is all that matters
They usually chose to harm those who have no voice, no lobbyists. We are their voices.
When will you understand that the destruction of the UN, de destabilization is Trumps and his Nazi cronies goal! He works for Putin! Have you forgotten that he behaved like a beaten dog beside him?
I think this is the goal 🎯 It’s just like tariffs. Seem dumb, but if the goal is to crash the US economy, they are on point.
They want to destroy everything, then the super wealthy will buy everything and form private organizations to make even more money. It’s a known plan from Nazis.
Sorry, I wanted to write Destruction of the United States
Give him time ... this was only the first 30 days.....
A feature, not a bug, for Trumpmuskputin.
Trump has always been misguided ... no matter the subject.
I don’t think trump or musk care about the loss of American lives.
Musk has no clue about soft power. And it’s not Trump making the mistake. It’s musk because musk is really running this country. Trump is just an old man figure head who can sign his name with a big fat fucking sharpie.
Trump is isolationist.. he is incapable of understanding concepts like this.
Hold his beer/diet coke. I believe there is much worse to come.
But the cost won’t hit him. It will hit his predecessors and all of us
Exactly that, it's soft power, which I'm sure Trump simply wouldn't understand. If he exits places like Africa for aid then China & Russia will happily step in & then USA can kiss goodbye to any deal regarding natural resources etc
Those who wanted “to own the libs” sold their souls to the living breathing devil.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t care about one bit about Americans lives.
He is unable to see beyond his nose and think strategically. This is why he bankrupted so many of his businesses.
His more public one. ...
Well hate to root against American success, but hoping for a fatal mistake. I don't care where it comes from, could be one to many Big Mac's too.
Why is anyone surprised he did this? He ripped off his own charity, he doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone expect himself.
We have to understand that these are not "mistakes". He's a criminal. He wants Americans to be/feel unsafe. He wants to destroy institutions that make it harder for him and his cronies to commit crimes. He's not trying to be President. He's trying to destroy the presidency.
Most historic tragedy is more accurate
You’re asking him to think it through? 😂
He understands zero except the grift and hate of course. He is 100% grift and hate.
That's our problem. Its all or none. One side goes too far left, then the other side goes too far right. Why can't we find a happy medium?
Traveling in Central America, you see Chinese investment everywhere. Roads, schools, supermarkets, hospitals. The locals we spoke to are grateful for China’s help. We are losing our footing on our own continent.
It isn't a mistake when your mission is to destroy America.
for context...the aid that keeps countries like N Korea, China etc from getting a footing in places like Africa is in fact USAID....that is in fact their job to advertise democracy via humane aid as JFK envisioned.
He doesn’t care. He just wants to play big felon47
Stability is not really an objective of fascists.
To date.
We'll see. It has been just two weeks.
Do you think he cares?
It is the tip of the spear when it comes to “leader of the free world” - now increasingly part of history. The US is just another big self interested country with no international leadership
Not a mistake. It's all according to putin's plan.
yeah u keep waiting for us to win by stepping on a rake while the rest of us demand new leadership
100% will be because it directly hurts his base.
China loves it , they are happy to takeover with their silk road program, with strings attached, but the useful idiot can't think 1 minute ahead, TARIFFS are his only answer
It's similar with UN sponsorship. That is what gives you control over the decisions the recipient organization makes.
Which countries are most helped by his stupid decision? Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China Russia & China
He’s incapable of understanding this concept. His simple mind only understands a check handed back to him for more than what he gave.
I hope it’s a fatal mistake to his ‘regime’.
No mistake. It would only be a mistake if they cared about American interests, stability and diplomacy. They want to destroy the whole government. This way they can share the spoils.
Americans were sleep-marched into fascism: Americans have no lived experience of what happens when oligarchs sink their fangs into a country. www.salon.com/2025/02/03/a...
He doesn’t give a damn about our country. He’s a traitor. He’s a wannabe dictator and that’s what he’s going for.
i reckon USAID did many things an emblem'd government might have found elusive; i bet there's 1000's who did business w/them specifically because they were as insulated & outright independent as they were bedazzling buffoonery clowns about among us oh gods of allcaps rants may this herald his end!
He doesn’t care.
The fact is the Traitor doesn't give a damn about any of those things. Not whatsoever. In fact he's working to destabilize the entire world economically and politically because Putin wants it. Bad for the world is good for Russia.
Guarantee China and Russia are more than willing to pick up the slack and the influence worldwide. Fucking Moron In Chief and his Project 2025 cucks just made the biggest blunder in World history.
No. This will end up being the first of Trump's many mistakes. Ironically, Musk will do most of the damage and then blame it on Trump (and magic mushrooms).
Could blow back on American citizens, but I’m speculating
And that’s something musk wouldn’t know as he doesn’t understand government work.
This assumes he would be interested in stability, diplomacy, and American interests.
It's known as, "paying it forward," so when troubled times arrive we know our allies have our back.
that's why they are doing it. you can't enslave people while wasting money helping others. people are fighting back is what is backfiring on them!
God I hope so - I keep saying that.🤦🏻♀️ when it should be 🥷
Hard to say it will be his most historic mistake, since all he does is make mistakes and lie.
Remove tRump, he is the only one giving power to Musk.
He does not care about those things! He’s made it very clear he doesn’t care about people or democracy. He only cares about himself and his billionaires.
It’s also a huge subsidy for American farms and businesses a lot of them time. Wonder how they’ll like that drying up suddenly?
It's not a mistake. It is his intention to weaken America.
Yes, and that's what Trump doesn't understand about the US's military investments abroad as well.
And if you don't care about helping people, this also leaves an aid vacuum in these emerging nations. If we don't fill it, China or Russia will. We may never recover that lost ground, or the good will. Trump is doing permanent damage to our global reputation.
tRump's taking down our allies with us
Muskrat is the only one who needs to believe that since he has the presidential power now.
Blinded by Hate
Solidifying the F47 Musk Junta's power is the immediate point with the malicious inhumanity it brings along is the added plus for the dictatorship.
💯
Putin probably told him to do it
And all this time I thought Eric was his biggest mistake
The golden age he is looking back on was also an age of isolationism and imperialism. Does not see a need to be a partner or part of a community just an emperor over his domain
Agreed
DJT doesn’t care about people. It’s all about him. So very sad.
If you think the Felon in Chief or MAGA cares about Americans (or anyone else) losing their lives you aren’t listening.
Please go to your state antitrust website and file a complaint against Musk and his companions. Everything you need is included here.
"Free trade stops wars!" - quote from season 2 of West Wing, over 20 years ago.
He is handing all of his development interests over to China. They are ALREADY moving in to shore up humanitarian aid in affected countries.
Considering he is a puppet intent on destroying the country on behalf of foreign adversaries, it’s really not a mistake
That's the point! Opens up the World to increased Chinese and Russian influence!!!
Well stated! I don’t believe People don’t understand the interconnections as you have indicated. It’s common sense. However common sense isn’t so common.
www.realclearpolicy.com/2016/07/20/g...
You think he cares?
Yup, that aid helps protect the world from diseases the world over. But now... NOPE! Wonder how long it'll be before ebola reaches America?
I would argue that handing the keys to our Treasury to Elon Musk will be the biggest blunder, but it's a matter of which one is more horrible than the other. They both are horrendous.
I hope Bessent is impeached!!
The whole lot of them should be rounded up and tried for sedition.
That too ....they ALL should be escorted in cuffs out of WH & elsewhere!!
No kidding. It really is all that stands between warring tribes and global chaos.
Trust and gratitude!
“Mistake?” Do you really still think he’s trying to benefit this country?
Exactly!
Is it a really a mistake if it's what his foreign "friends" want to happen? He only cares about the standing and prestige of the United States when it can also boost his own standing and prestige. He only cares about that when he isn't getting what he thinks is standing and prestige from despots.
The richest man in the world is attacking the poorest people in the world. Please spread this around to anyone asking - foreign aid is less than 1% of the budget. I believe it's actually .2% - so not in half of a percent. This does nothing to save money and will kill people. Very Christian of us.
So is the CDC.
But the effect won’t be apparent for a while so neither he, nor his cult, will see the relationship.
Unless instability, international bullying, and the destruction of American interests are actually the goal
But it makes his boss Vladimir Putin happy
I have lived, worked, and traveled in Canada and I have always been a big fan of Canada. Since Trump took office, my admiration for Canada has grown extensively! At least Canadians show they have the balls not only to fight back but also to show pure resolve and strength!
I’m going to stop traveling to red states and just go to Canada when I travel internationally now.
WE THE COUNTRY NEED TO SUE, AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT: this illegal DOGE boy mining of tax payer individual information...
Oh boy. Another historic mistake. Brother
He’s stoopid.
doesn't matter to them, pain to blk/brn ppl is the point
It's even beyond that. They want to destroy/control the middle class and make all of us serfs to their oligarchy. White and super rich...that's all that counts.
Among the many.
USAID is kinda like China investing in countries… if we’re not Who is?
Raiders of our Social Security info: Elon's Hacker Thieves Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. All of college age Share these names!!
Call Congress to stop all business and demand Musk he deported as illegal criminal and seize his assets. Arrest the 7? Musk employees, seize their computers used for espionage. Return OPB & Treasury to civil service employees. Pls repost 🇺🇸
No, it won't. There will be a top 10 list, and this might not even be on it. I think dropping a nuke will be #1
If we aren't there, then the Chinese and Russians will replace us. Already, the Chinese are building massive infrastructure projects in many countries around the world. They are building trust and good will with them, and thus they will shun US aide because there are too many strings attached.
Trump is turning us into a Dictatorship. How often do Dictatorships spread diplomacy in its infancy? He wants instability, lack of diplomacy and he couldn't care less about "American interests".
You're in the middle of a coup. Better be quick!
I've been saying this for months. Guaranteed our EU allies have stopped sharing intelligence with us.
Add it to the pile
It is really hard to say what is the worst. They are all bad.
Exactly. We don’t just do all this out of the goodness of our hearts. I benefits the US in multiple ways.
It’s not a mistake, it’s intentional
Al Queda and Isis are growing in Congo and other countries where the populations are starving and desperate. Desperate people are easy for terrorists to recruit. US aid lessens desperation and keeps potential terrorists on our side. The US also gathers intel on terrorists in those places.
It is called soft power Trump is too GD DUMB TO UNDERSTAND IT
I think this particular one may be coming from the Elon/White Supremacist side of the Resolute Desk. Elon still pissed his country got pulled into the 20th century, in part due to USAID help.
That’s right.
Excellent points - reposting - Thank you
YW✋🌝💙
He has no authority to end it! Let alone Musk. It's funded by Congress. I'm starting a list of grievances and this is one of his most consequential worldwide. And all because Musk wasn't being treated fairly in white apartheid So. Africa. Unbelievable!
Amerikkka is fucked basically
That void will now likely be fiiled by China, Russia, Iran, The Taliban, etc.
He absolutely does not care.
