USAID has been unaccountable to taxpayers for decades — funneling money to ridiculous (and in many cases, malicious) pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats with zero oversight.
🧵 Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:
— $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
— $70,000 for production of a "DEI musical" in Ireland
— $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam

— $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
— $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru

— $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.
Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.
