Shutting USAID is among the stupidest things Trump has done

Monday, February 3, 2025

Shutting down USAID is making China stronger and weakens the US both economically and militarily. The US navy needs harbors to anker in. The Air Force needs fly over rights. Soft power, a concept that Trump is completely ignorant of, provides that access cheaply. And that doesn’t even account for USAID work in conflict zones where they work hand in hand with the military and allow the military to focus on their missions and reduce negative impact by locals.
