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

— $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt

— Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations (even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation)

— Millions to EcoHealth Alliance, which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab

“Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to Al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”

— Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries

— Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

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.

"I don't know and I don't care," says petulant baby @RubenGallego when asked about his past shutdown comments.

Here's a reminder —

2013: You can't "shutdown the government... and still claim to be a Patriot"

2019: "Putting the country in danger"

2023: "Put country before party"
2013: You can't "shutdown the government and destroy the economy and still claim to be a Patriot."

— Ruben Gallego
2019: "TSA agents, FDA food inspectors, air traffic controllers are working with out pay. Soon many will quit to find work that pays the bills. This shut down is putting the country in danger."

.@MassGovernor accuses @ICEgov of arresting people "based on the color of their skin."

She's insane. They're arresting illegal aliens who have committed heinous crimes.

🧵 Here are the monsters she is defending — all recently arrested in her state.

Today, President Donald J. Trump will call on Americans to pray for our nation and rededicate ourselves as ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

This is from 2023, when President Trump made protecting Christians and religious liberty a core part of his campaign.

Promise made, promise kept.
"Under my leadership, never again will the federal government be used to target religious believers. Americans of faith are not a threat to our country — Americans of faith are the soul of our country." (12/21/23)
"When I return to the White House, I will once again aggressively defend religious freedom in all of its forms." (6/22/24)

President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a list of “20 core promises to Make America Great Again” — and in just six months, he has unquestionably delivered.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!

🧵 Thread Image
1. Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion: “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country.”

✅ PROMISE KEPT: Under President Trump, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border are at historic lows and border wall construction has resumed. Last month, illegal border crossings were the lowest ever recorded, while this fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal crossings in five decades. For two straight months, zero illegals were released into the country’s interior.
2. Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history: “We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.”

✅ PROMISE KEPT: Every single day, the Trump Administration is removing illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals off our streets — and sending them back.
