That is 100% what we are witnessing.

The money is typically 100% support, with no strings attached, that is, free money to citizens in other countries. I believe that charity is a wonderful thing, until and unless it eventually causes potential corruption and out of control spending.
Maybe it did not need to be put at a full stop but someone needs to take a second look at how it's run. In fact, we have a lot of federal departments that should be evaluated. We should have a legit process in doing it which I definitely believe we won't have under Trump & co., but the idea that USAID and all these agencies should and can just go on till infinity running the way they are currently is contributing to the downfall of the US. The spending must stop. It is as nuts as Trump is in a manner of speaking.

If you compare the amount of money spent on USAID vs the military, it is indeed a drop in the bucket. Your post reveals your ignorance.
At least the US military defends our country and even can provide cool fly overs at sporting events.
I literally cannot think of one thing USAID has done to benefit America.
I mean, if we are good will hunting obviously 9/11 and hundreds of attacks happen on us all the time around the world…so that is not a benefit.
“Cool flyovers” ???
Are you 14??

Because that is exactly the kind of transaction that Elon is looking to post right now, and it's also the kind of thing that could cause a serious international incident if he casually posts it without knowing what he's doing.
This seems beyond dangerous.
