  1. Aren't they proud of being MAGA? 🙂
  2. Do you have a source about it or are you just making stuff up?
  3. USAID has been regularly audited by the OIG, and its programgs funded by Congress. Same as the other agencies. The problem is not about being audited, it's about the method, including diffusing lies. Coming back to my question: why do Trump and Musk need to make up lies, if USAID is so bad? 😆
  4. Of course. USAID has always been an indirect way to discreetly subsidize the U.S. agricultural sector. https://www.phantomecology.com/post/usaid-purchases-billions-from-american-farmers-how-subsidies-shape-agriculture-and-leave-appalachia#:~:text=The U.S. Agency for International,economies and shaping agricultural markets. Here are the main recipients. I doubt food deliveries will be really stopped. Minnesota Key Crops: Peas, wheat, sorghum. 2024 Sales: $70 million via contracts with Cargill, CHS Inc., and Sinamco 4. Impact: Minnesota’s pea industry—critical for protein processing—relies on USAID for 10–20% of its export market. Iowa Key Crops: Corn, soybeans. Role: While not a top direct recipient, Iowa’s corn and soybeans feed into USDA-USAID joint initiatives like the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust (4). Texas Key Crops: Sorghum, cotton. 2024 Sales: $1.1 billion in sorghum exports to Africa, partially funded by USAID’s Food for Peace program. Kansas Key Crops: Wheat, sorghum. 2024 Sales: Kansas sorghum farmers supply over 20% of USAID’s African food aid shipments. Nebraska Key Crops: Corn, soybeans. Role: A hub for USDA-USAID ethanol-linked corn purchases, bolstered by biofuel incentives.
  5. A candid question: If USAID is so bad, why do Trump and Musk need to make up lies? 😆

  7. A MAGA accusing others of lying! 😆 .... and talking about credibility! 🤣
  8. It's in the article. According to the "left-wing" (sarcasm alert) Forbes, he lied! 😆
  9. MAGAs are still posting the same lies! 😆 Elon Musk Pushes False Claim Ex-USAID Chief Earned $23 Million: The Biggest DOGE Hoaxes Spread On X https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-musk-pushes-false-claim-ex-usaid-chief-earned-23-million-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-spread-on-x/
  10. More lies diffused by you! 😆 Elon Musk Pushes False Claim Ex-USAID Chief Earned $23 Million: The Biggest DOGE Hoaxes Spread On X https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-musk-pushes-false-claim-ex-usaid-chief-earned-23-million-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-spread-on-x/
  11. What happened? Musk blocked the website so only archives are available, 🤣
  12. It's a lie. There are no donations! 🤣
  13. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/usaid-funded-massive-global-state-propaganda-news-matrix-nearly-billion-people-reach Lol!

  14. The no mention of $1,000 meals in my link. Stop making stuff up! 😆
  15. What are you talking about. Another scoop from a tweet?
  16. Wrong. It's not secret, as Snopes found it. Those allegations of information being kept secret is another MAGA lies. 🙂 The sources are indicated in the article. In particular, USASpending.com. About the Clinton foundation, you can find the tax fillings here. I guess there is also information on the foundations website. Have a good search! Oh, and you are spreading misinformation again. It's not per year! 😆 The quote from Snopes is: government data from fiscal years 2008-24 showed that USAID had not given more than $7.5 million
  17. As I told you before, I am not going to waste my time checking your hypotheses for you. If you claim she received some compensation, feel free to prove it, 🙂
  18. So who will audit Musk's contracts with the government in order to check if it's not overpriced? 😆
  19. According to your calculation! According to the Snope article I linked previously: A graph that social media users claimed showed Chelsea Clinton received $84 million from USAID is actually a reference to the Clinton Foundation. Further, government data from fiscal years 2008-24 showed that USAID had not given more than $7.5 million to that foundation. Finally, tax returns show Chelsea Clinton does not receive any compensation for her work at the foundation. There's also no evidence the Clinton foundation received $84 million.
  20. You are making stuff up again. The debunked claim was that Chelsea received it. Talking about low IQ....
  21. It's not true. There is no quote of Chelsea saying the foundation got $84 million.
  22. Can't you read? I was replying to a post linking an article listing Musk's lies. Feel free to read this articles and contradict them with facts, if you can. I also made several posts in this thread on specific claims, linking articles as source! 🙂 Feel free to read these articles and contradict them with facts, if you can.
  23. Uninformed MAGA claim. 🙂 The Chinese have been kicked out of infrastructure projects in Greenland since 2018! And in the meantime, Denmark passed a foreign investment act to prevent them from coming back!
