It is a disaster that President Donald Trump dismantled the US International Development Agency to hear critics explain it. But take it from someone who has worked for USAID for three years. That fate has already been sealed.
USAID, a US government vehicle for paying hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded foreign aid, has ideologically derailed the railroad, with bipartisan political support in Congress and Americans. It's a troublesome story about losing both trust.
On his first day back in the office, Trump issued executives order It has suspended most foreign aid measures that it claims “the US foreign aid industry and bureaucracy do not coincide with American interests and often conflict with American values.” Two weeks later, he denounced the agency for being “run by Radical Lunatics.”
USAID claims top doge Republicans in a letter to Rubio, saying it “exemplifies a pattern of obstruction.”

Under President Barack Obama LGBT and climate Ideology has been added. President Joe Biden concluded it with transgenderism. I need it All foreign aid programs should promote this divisive radical stew, even when it comes to food aid to hungry refugees.
Institutionally, its political culture was ultimately distorted to the far left, wiping away conservatives and independents. USAID no longer represented America or its value, it became taxpayer-funded Haven For extremists ruled by a global elite industry made up of former assistant officers and officials of past Democratic administrations.
In 2020, days after the George Floyd Riot, 1,000 USAID staff members affirmed their agency's “Black Lives Matter” and accused their agency of “systemic racism.” Recently, another 1,000 USAID staff have issued an open letter By calling for an “immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,” it gives terrorists the opportunity to reorganize and kill more Israelis, against Biden's Israeli policy.

The head of the International Development Association, a association of aid professionals, recommends “focusing on DEIA issues.” Interactions, a foreign aid lobby, still pushed it DEI Compact It condemns “white hegemony” for racism in international development. Congress denounced it by blocking US government funds.
Meanwhile, Usaid burned the bridge to the council, which pays the budget. Agent officials declined to scrutinize the practice. In 2023, Sen. Jodi Ernst of R-Iowa, now chairman of Doge Caucus, requested that they be confirmed if they are so that they know the overhead fees for organizations and businesses. That's all-charging Taxpayers running USAID programs.
She was stonewalled repeatedly and had staff I was threatened. Eventually she discovered that half of the aid funds were spent overhead. A government audit the following year showed that USAID could not account for the fictitious fees for awards that exceed $142.5 billion.

Lessons learned? no. The day the USAID headquarters was closed, its supporters gathered in protest. The most notable speakers were Ilhan Omar, a pro-hamas pro-hamas native from Minnesota, and Jamie Ruskin, who managed the fake ammo each of President Trump's House of Representatives in 2021. The degree of political tension in the aiding community is surprising.
With conservatives now controlling the White House, the US Senate and the US House of Representatives, it is clear that aid facilities have placed bad ideological bets. Currently, USAID is excluded. The cries of supporters that USAID is a “critical national security tool” have fallen in deaf ears.
Meanwhile, Usaid burned the bridge to the council, which pays the budget. Agent officials declined to scrutinize the practice.
