Are you that thick? Look up all the USAiD stuff that was cut and the deaths it is leadingto. Cuttingmedical researchwill also lead to more deaths. the secretary of health promoting cod liver oil over measles vaccines will lead to many unnecessary deaths. Just a tiny list to start.

How will Trump's USAID freeze be felt around the world?

Experts have warned Trump's move to freeze USAID's funding, which is currently being challenged in the courts affects more than 50 countries, including 26 of the poorest nations in the world, including Afghanistan, Somalia, Ethiopia and Uganda.

Affected programs include polio prevention, treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS, and fighting infectious disease such as cholera, malaria and tuberculosis in Africa.

Trump's freeze has also disrupted USAID's global medical supply chain, as hundreds of millions of dollars of life-saving medical supplies are stranded in warehouses and on ships around the world, at risk of damage, expiry or even theft, according to a lawsuit filed by USAID contractors last week.

The three-month freeze includes all work under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which fights AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

The program, which was founded in 2003, has saved more than 26 million lives worldwide by investing in HIV prevention and treatment in 55 countries, according to UNAIDS.

World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the freeze to PEPFAR had triggered an "immediate stop to HIV treatment, testing and prevention services" around the world.

HIV patients in Africa found locked doors at clinics.

UNAIDS executive director Winnie Byanyima fears the world could see more than 6 million AIDS-related deaths in the next five years, as well as millions more HIV infections.

That's just one portion of one program.

Most people are one issue voters, guns, immigration, jobs, schools, whatever. Trump won this election not by converting existing voters but by courting new voters. His team went on college campuses and registered male voters.


The Democrats are too big tent. Outraged about everything, do nothing.

Trump won because of foreign influence, huge amounts of dark money, and a non stop barrage disinformation pummeled over social media and through the corporate owned MSM.

Don’t forget racism, mysogony and voter suppression.

One of the most brazenly dumb posters I've seen on this board in the 17-18 years I've been here.

The radical left eh? Give it a few months, even people on the right will be wanting Trump's head. Those in the Kentucky bourbon industry likely already do.

He's demonstrating that what he and his people are doing isn't going to be slowed or resolved by lobbying or diplomatic means. He's adopted the Putin playbook.

This is why people aren't motivated to vote for Democrats

Is amazing to me that there are people out there operating like we’re still living in normal times.

And painting the current American situation with the same brush as the small bean quarrels of Canadian politics prior to this US administration.

Trump openly discusses redrawing border lines and they chalk the reactions by born and raised Canadians up to "the left being dramatic"

Voter suppression is a lame excuse for an election that saw the second highest vote count only behind 2020 when voters came out to boot Trump from office. The Democratic party ####ed it up on their own by standing behind Biden for so long and then turning things over to Harris.

Don’t forget with that pile of #### RFK Jr the return of measles, polio and other diseases that we thought we had control over.

Lots of death coming.

It’s not a lame excuse. They are taking over the postal service now for mail in ballots.

Musk also floated that he used crap link in the election as well.

This thread and the news runs pretty fast these days, so apologies if this is being talked about already.

But, this is probably fine right?

The ramifications of these shifts are hard to sum up. From a global scale to the potential harm to low income communities in the US.

Well Trump did say at least twice that he stole the election.
