The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Why not simply ask who “they” are? Also who is organising this mass invasion and specifically which 19th century asylums were emptied to wreak havoc on the Utopia they call the USA. Or maybe just challenge him to give a straight answer.
