MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace Propagandizes For USAID

Nicole Wallace: USAID’s overseas work is critical not only to the countries receiving the assistance but to the US as well, helping alleviate national security concerns. Regarding the agency’s cost, Washington Post writes this quote, in fiscal year 2023, USAID managed over $40 billion of appropriations, less than 1% of the federal budget, according to federal records provided to about 130 countries. It is that 1% of federal spending where the Trump administration, most publicly Elon Musk, a place to bullseye. Elon Musk and Donald Trump railed against the agency in recent days. Musk at one point called the agency, quote, criminal and said, quote, it needs to die and quote, hundreds of USAID employees and contractors have been fired or furloughed, dozens of senior career leaders of the agency have been sidelined. The US foreign missions have been brought to a standstill. Very disturbing situation developed on Saturday when two security leaders at the agency were put on leave after they refused to let members of Musk’s DOGE team access secure systems that included personnel files and classified information.

NBC News reports this quote, the DOGE employees were eventually able to gain access to the secure systems, but it was not clear what information they were able to obtain. This assault on the agency could have disastrous effects. As for Forbes reports, quote, humanitarian groups have warned any move to dismantle USAID would carry dire consequences for the countries it supports, with Oxfam arguing, quote, dismantling USAID would be a callous, destructive political power play that would have deadly consequences for millions of people living in dire humanitarian emergencies and extreme poverty. Earlier today, secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he is currently the new acting USAID administrator. It’s a move that could very well run counter to US law, as the agency’s independence is outlined.


That’s a lot of propaganda in less than two minutes. How does USAID alleviate national security concerns?! Because if we continue to give BILLIONS to 130 countries, they won’t kill us?

Wallace tried to minimize the cost: “USAID $40 billion in appropriations, less than 1% of the federal budget.”

Don’t believe the hype. The world will be just fine without USAID. It’s long past time for the world to advance and stop being dependent on America’s money, which controls their political leaders. If you want to donate to these 130 countries, I am sure there are many different ways for you to send money to them willingly.
