One of the reasons Republicans give for not contradicting Trump is that they are literally waiting for him to die and then want to take over his base... They live in a dream world. In a cult, you don't just easily
"take over" the previous leader's base... You have to bring your own personality to the table.

While Trump delivers very little, almost zero, he has delivered more to the white working man in this country than any other GOP candidate in lifetimes.
When Trump dies anyone can take his crown by doing one simple thing, providing patronage. The dems deliver patronage by the boatload to
their people. Good jobs in the state or universities and nearly
unlimited funding for their pet projects through organizations like
USAID.
Trumps defunding of USAID was great but he needs to do more and fund
right wing programs.

Defunding USAID hurts people around the world, tarnishes our view as leader of the free world and gives China an opening on the world
stage.

Yeah, we really need to fund the transgender operations of LGBTQIA+
(XZTEDBS) in Africa and the mental health issues that go with it
once they get completed and the he/she/it/they have realized they
made a mistake.

What programmes does USAID fund?
USAID funds more than 6,000 global programmes in health,
education, climate change, food security, humanitarian
assistance, governance and democracy.
Health
USAID supports PEPFAR for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment,
mainly in Africa. It also funds initiatives against malaria,
tuberculosis and severe malnutrition. It also supports vaccine
development and women's reproductive health.
Democracy and Governance
Some 38% of USAID's budget promotes democracy and human rights,
with more than $14 billion allocated in 2023, focusing on
Ukraine. Projects strengthen media, civil society and
anti-corruption efforts.
Humanitarian Assistance
In 2023, 22% of funds addressed humanitarian crises in countries
like Sudan and Ukraine, providing food, water, shelter and
long-term nutrition services.
Climate Change and Food Security
USAID collaborates to develop climate solutions, improve land
management, and invest in renewable energy. In Colombia, it
enhances climate resilience and promotes climate-smart
agriculture.
Education
USAID supports teacher training, school management and
scholarships, with initiatives to increase girls' school
enrolment in countries like Mozambique and Nepal.

Yeah... great talking points there, likely harvested right off the DNC manifesto, right?
Here's a valid question (which I admit to not knowing the answer to):
You cited a few percentages above there. What percentage of their
funding went to "overhead"...? Yeah, that vague category that actually means "lines the pockets of corrupt politicians" and "other
personnel"...? Do you know?
The truth is that it was a money-laundering operation, almost entirely
to the benefit of Democrats and the Leftist agenda. AKA Waste, Fraud,
and Abuse. The Libs are the only ones upset because they were the only ones "reaping the rewards".
... Liberalism is the "flesh eating bacteria" of society.

6.6% administrative overhead for USAID. Any NGO is going to have
some level of overhead, it's the cost of providing services.

The people that, you know, didn't starve or die of communicable
diseases because of the efforts of USAID certainly benefitted.
As for the libs being upset because they were the only ones
"reaping the rewards", that's painting with an awfully wide brush. I'm upset because USAID is a great way to help people in need while
extending influence into developing nations. China is quickly taking up the slack. Is that in the US' best interests?
