Several hours after Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson interviewed the New Yorker's Susan Glasser about Elon Musk's "evisceration" of USAID, Donald Trump fired back on Truth Social.
Trump was harshly criticized on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday morning for letting Musk dismantle the venerable foreign aid agency, and with Glasser explaining to Robinson why she she wrote that Trump and Musk are trying to paralyze their critics with fear, the president couldn't hold it in any longer.

On Truth Social, he first snarled, "USAID IS DRIVING THE RADICAL LEFT CRAZY, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE WAY IN WHICH THE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT, SO MUCH OF IT FRAUDULENTLY, IS TOTALLY UNEXPLAINABLE. THE CORRUPTION IS AT LEVELS RARELY SEEN BEFORE. CLOSE IT DOWN!"
He then turned his ire on Pulitzer Prize winner Robinson, a frequent critic of his policies and his alleged flouting of the law.
"Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is INCOMPETENT! So sad to see him trying to justify the waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID with his pathetic Radical Left SPIN. He should be fired immediately!!!" the president wrote.
