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.

Under Biden, the cost of educating illegals reached ~$80B/year — a massive burden on American citizens.

Thanks to President Trump’s strong immigration policies, migrant school enrollment is plummeting — freeing up resources for American students and families.

🧵THREAD: Image

In Utah, educating illegals cost the state’s taxpayers $650+ million in 2023 — and lawmakers were forced to deploy emergency funding to keep up with the strain on the public school system.

This school year, Utah’s K-12 public schools saw the largest decrease in enrollment in 25 years — which the state superintendent attributed, in large part, to “slowing in-migration.”

In Florida, educating illegals cost the state’s taxpayers $4 billion in 2023.

This school year, the number of foreign students entering Miami-Dade County Public Schools fell by more than 80%.

In just the first months of 2026, the Trump Admin has arrested scores of depraved illegal alien killers, rapists, and violent sex predators who were unleashed by the Radical Left’s open borders agenda — policies Democrats are desperate to restore.

🧵 Here are a few of them:
Kenneth Moreno Guzman, a Mexican illegal, is charged with the horrific rape of an 11-year-old girl in Georgia while holding her 10-year-old sister at knifepoint in the same room.

This sick monster broke into the family’s home through the back door, then raped the young girl in front of her terrified little sister.

The predator, who had been previously removed from the country, later told police he was “attracted” to the child.Image
Samuel Antonio Maldonado-Erazo, a Honduran illegal, is charged with the savage first-degree murder of his own three-year-old U.S. citizen nephew in Florida.

This sick monster beat the toddler to death with at least 17 strikes to the head, plus extensive bruising, intentional burns, a broken collarbone, a transected pancreas, multiple broken ribs (one completely detached from the spine), and signs of possible sexual abuse.

Previously deported, he illegally re-entered and was released into the country under the Biden Administration.Image

Tonight, @POTUS will address the nation on Operation Epic Fury.

From day one, the objectives have been clear: obliterate Iran’s missiles and production, annihilate its navy, sever its support for terrorist proxies, and ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon.

🧵
.@POTUS (March 2): “Our objectives are clear. First, we’re destroying Iran’s missile capabilities… and their capacity to produce brand new ones — pretty good ones they make. Second, we’re annihilating their navy… Third, we’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon… And finally, we’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.”
.@VP (March 2): “Whatever happens with the regime in one form or another, it’s incidental to the President’s primary objective here — which is to make sure the Iranian terrorist regime does not build a nuclear bomb.”

For nearly a half a century, the Iranian regime has been slaughtering Americans. President Trump is doing what other Presidents have refused to do — eliminate the Iranian threat so no more American blood is spilled by these terrorists.

🧵THREAD:
November 1979: Iranian students, backed by the regime, seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran — taking 66 Americans hostage in a 444-day standoff.

April 1983: The Islamic Jihad, an Iran-backed terrorist group, carried out a suicide car bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 17 Americans.

Since descending the golden escalator, President Trump has been relentlessly smeared as a "racist" by the Radical Left who can’t tolerate a President who sees only one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.

🧵 As promised, here are a few of the endless receipts:
.@edokeefe himself leveled the very baseless “racist” smear against President Trump only a few years ago. 2/ Image
Earlier this year, Democrats universally declared it was “racist“ to ensure individuals from terror-prone nations aren’t able to come to this country and kill Americans. 3/ Image
