As part of a very active morning on Truth Social, Donald Trump launched a fierce attack on USAID in an all-caps rant that kicked off with a major misspelling.
With USAID being the first US department being targeted by unelected Elon's Musk's DOGE employees –– who have been harshly criticized for their heavy-handed methods and purported lack of experience –– Trump rode to the rescue of Musk's team on Thursday morning.
"LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN (sic) AT USAID, AND OTHER AGENCIES, MUCH OF IT GOING TO THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AS A 'PAYOFF' FOR CREATING GOOD STORIES ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. THE LEFT WING 'RAG,' KNOWN AS 'POLITICO,' SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000."

"Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY" he continued.
It should be noted that the USAID money going to Politico story has been debunked after being spread by Turning Point USA head Charlie Kirk and accused plagiarist Benny Johnson.
AS CNN reported, "'I looked at these contracts and I have my own fun fact,' Byron Tau, an investigative reporter at the Associated Press, said via X. 'This is occurring because agencies (not just USAID) are buying subscriptions to Politico’s Pro editorial product, not because Politico is getting grants or other federal funding.'"
