The numbers are staggering. The projects are absurd. And for decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has funneled taxpayer money into black holes of corruption, vanity, and outright lunacy.
Global Affairs Canada once kept records of its own foreign aid spending. No longer. The documentation is gone, wiped from its website. Canada, worse per capita than the United States, has buried its waste. But USAID’s trail of folly is still visible. The receipts are there, and the waste is beyond question.
$1.5 million for “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in Serbian businesses. $70,000 to produce a DEI musical in Ireland. $2.5 million for electric vehicles in Vietnam. $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia. $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. $2 million for sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala. $6 million to boost tourism in Egypt.
And that’s just the beginning.
American dollars have funded terrorist-linked organizations, even after an inspector general raised the alarm. Millions flowed to EcoHealth Alliance, the group tied to Wuhan’s laboratory research. Hundreds of thousands of meals went to al-Qaeda-linked fighters in Syria. Taxpayer money printed customized contraceptives for the developing world.
Hundreds of millions were spent on irrigation canals, farming equipment, and fertilizer — all of it bolstering the poppy trade in Afghanistan, lining the Taliban’s pockets.
Under President Trump, the hemorrhaging ends. The grift is over. The bureaucrats who have shuffled billions to pet projects, to meaningless exercises in global theater, to corruption, now face reckoning.
No more DEI operas. No more transgender comics. No more irrigation for heroin fields. The money stops now.
And while funding for Politico and others has come from all over the federal government – WikiLeaks, citing a RSF report, highlighted that USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 “media” NGOs, which includes 90% of the reportage out of Ukraine.
