Trump Axes 90% of USAID Cash, Shocks Globalists

The Trump administration delivered a seismic blow on Wednesday, cutting over 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and slashing $60 billion in global assistance, per a Fox News report. Internal documents reveal nearly 15,000 grants—5,800 USAID awards worth $54 billion and 4,100 State Department grants at $4.4 billion—gutted after a 90-day review ordered by President Donald Trump, per the February 27 story. For conservatives, this is a roaring triumph—proof Trump’s America First agenda is torching Biden’s wasteful legacy.
A State Department memo outlined the purge, spotlighting the scale of the cuts.
“In response, State and USAID moved rapidly,” it stated, targeting programs for termination after a federal judge’s order to lift a funding freeze by Wednesday’s end.
The review, sparked by Trump’s January 20 freeze on all foreign aid, aimed to axe programs misaligned with U.S. interests, leaving just 500 USAID and 2,700 State awards, per Fox. Chief Justice John Roberts’ Wednesday stay paused a $2 billion payout, per the Supreme Court, cementing Trump’s grip.
This upheaval follows Trump’s Thursday border wins, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.
“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”
Posts on X buzzed—one user wrote, “Trump’s USAID cuts—America first, finally!” Another added, “Biden’s global slush fund is toast!”
Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s tenure let deficits soar past $35 trillion, per Treasury data, while inflation—up 20% since 2021, per BLS—hammered families, and USAID’s $43.79 billion budget bled taxpayers dry, per Fox. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, DOGE’s $55 billion cuts, and last week’s fentanyl bill clash, per Fox, signal the fix—cut waste, secure borders, and prioritize Americans.
Democrats wailed, with Senator Chris Murphy slamming it as a “sham review” blowing through Congress, per Fox, while aid groups cried chaos. Too bad—conservatives see this as a reckoning for a bloated system. Legal fights loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Thursday block on Education records—but Republicans stand tall. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, keeping America’s wealth home, as voters demanded in 2024.
USAID’s cuts hit hard—5,800 of 6,200 awards gone, per the memo first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, with NGOs howling over lost billions, per Reuters. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives are ready to defend this purge, ensuring America’s dollars fuel its own revival.
This aid slash is a colossal win for America, shredding foreign waste and fortifying Trump’s relentless charge.
