USAID’s ‘long list of crap’: Karoline Leavitt cites millions in wasteful spending

President Donald Trump, through Tesla, SpaceX, and X CEO Elon Musk’s Department of Government Performance, has recalled USAID staff from around the world before they are placed on administrative leave on Friday.

Democrats have criticized the changes as allowing China to build political soft power through international help, but Leavitt disagreed.

During the presentation on Wednesday, Leavitt told writers,” I would simply say a strong message to Democrats who are out it pretending to be outraged about the long list of nonsense this presidency is cutting,” citing examples from her record of applications Trump has deemed wasteful. Liberals are upset that Americans want their citizens to be used for good, hardly this kind of things.
