Summary

Elon Musk announced that he and Trump are shutting down USAID, bypassing Congress’s authority over federal spending.

Musk claimed Trump fully supports the move, though Trump has only criticized USAID without explicitly confirming its closure.

The White House has not commented. The administration has already placed USAID officials on leave and reviewed its funding.

Critics argue the move violates federal law, setting up a potential legal battle.

        Sorry, I thought you were mentally able to understand. I mean it’s laughable that you and many like you kept comfort in that the laws (that fascist dictators have complete control over) would stop a fascist dictator from taking fascist control over your country, with his PLAN on how to do it and promises to do it out in the open. From the outside it sounds so naive that it becomes funny. I am fully aware that it’s not funny in actual, but it was just too much to read that idiotic statement. Laws or safeguards won’t help. They’re what he is removing, since you gave him power to do so

          Considering the fact that you say, “your country,” I’m left to assume you don’t live here and therefore are here simply to antagonize, as you’re offering absolutely nothing worthwhile to the discussion.

          Tagging you as irrelevant and moving on.

          Oh, and maybe don’t assume someone mental health if you know nothing about them. It’s bad form and generally frowned upon to insult people before you even get to your point.

          Just some free advice for ya. Do with it what you will.

            I offer many things. Tagging you as irrelevant it’s mature, good way of coping.

            They don’t care about laws

            They never would

            We told you

            It was slightly funny to me and you can’t accept it

            So now you use immature ways to flip the narrative

              Yeah… my immature ways. You mean my ways that say not voting is how you create change? Oh wait, that’s you. Or maybe it’s my ways that say voting for untested and unproven nobodies is better than stopping a fascist from being elected? Nope. Also you.

              Our desperation is what tried to stand in trump’s way, your smug entitled arrogance is what stood aside and opened the door for him.

              You have no moment. Because movements by definition, require action. And doing nothing is by definition- exactly the opposite.

                  It should not be hard to interpret

                  That you got backed into a corner and called out and now you have nothing to add to the discussion aside from cringe cartoons? No. I got that the moment I tagged you as irrelevant.
