US President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that “billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies.” Trump added, “This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history. Democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty.” President Trump is referring to the billions of dollars allocated by USAID that never made it to people in need. other resources from USAID made it to NGOs who were organizing the invasion of America. In many cases the aid did not even reach the intended citizens. Trump also pointed out the waste of millions to the “left wing rag” known as Politico! And Trump asks “who else” received money from USAID? Here is his full comment on Truth Social. President Trump:LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN(sp) AT USAID, AND OTHER AGENCIES, MUCH OF IT GOING TO THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AS A “PAYOFF” FOR CREATING GOOD STORIES ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. THE LEFT WING “RAG,” KNOWN AS “POLITICO,” SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY! https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/president-trump-billions-have-been-stolen-usaid-other/ The news that Politico had received $8 million from USAID came after Elon Musk and the DOGE spent the week exposing the agency for what it truly is — not “a humanitarian organization that bolsters the development of democracy around the world” but actually “a front for the CIA, a front for regime-change operations and color revolutions and propaganda efforts” both abroad and domestically. However, a deeper dive into the nebulous relationship between Politico and the federal government reveals that the outlet didn’t just receive $8 million from USAID; it received a total of $34.3 million from various corrupt government agencies over a 10-year period. “No such objectivity can exist when a media organization is being subsidized to the tune of $34.3 million,” says Liz Wheeler. When her team dug into the scandal, they found that Politico was also receiving grant money from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Agriculture, as well as from subagencies, such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC. These payments began in 2015 — “the year that Donald Trump descended that golden elevator and promised to make America great again.” Further, the federal dollars paid to Politico “exponentially increased when the Biden regime took office.” And suddenly, it all makes perfect sense why “every headline, every article that [Politico] published was in perfect alignment with the swamp's interests,” says Liz, pointing to the outlet’s treatment of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. President Donald Trump delivered hopeful remarks during his Thursday speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, a decades-long bipartisan tradition, with Washington's most prominent politicos in attendance. During the speech, Trump spoke about reigniting religion in America, reminding attendees of the Christian foundation our country was built upon. "America is, and will always be, one nation under God," Trump said. "At every stage of the American story, our country has drawn hope and courage and inspiration from our trust in the Almighty," Trump added. "Deep in the soul of every patriot is the knowledge that God has a special plan and a glorious mission for America." "It's His hand that guides us every single step of the way," Trump continued. "And the things we have to do is to see the defining role that faith and prayer played in the life of our nation." Trump reassured Christians nationwide during his speech that he will work to reinvigorate religion in America. In the first weeks of his presidency, Trump has already signed executive orders ending the weaponization of government against American Christians and has pardoned pro-life protesters who were targeted by President Joe Biden's administration. "People of religion are going to be happy again," Trump said. "And I really believe you can't be happy without religion, without that belief. I really believe that. I just don't see how you can be." "So, let's bring religion back," Trump continued. "Let's bring God back into our lives." "The US Army is back! Growing future lethal warriors prepared to fight and win our nations wars!"... that's the latest message from Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. We have long documented the steady decline in recruiting among all national military branches over the last several years during the Biden administration. Just last year we observed the theme of recruiting decline as follows, also confirmed in a seeming myriad of mainstream media headlines: The US Army faces the most challenging recruiting environment in decades, if not ever, as America's Generation Z doesn't want to fight foreign wars driven by neocon warmongering politicians in Washington, the military-industrial complex, NATO, and mega-corporations. But when Trump was elected with an overwhelming amount of the American voting public giving a clear mandate, there was a shift in this mentality. At least this is what the numbers show, according to a fresh statement by the US Army on its official X account, also shared by Hegseth... The statement announces US Army recruiting's biggest enlistment numbers in December, a month after the election, suggesting Trump's election has injected new and clear motivation for the nation's young to join up. Nearly 350 new recruits for the Army may not seem like a lot, but it's an immense process involving background and fitness checks, as well as a lengthy visit to "MEPS" - and the oath is finally taken paving the way to be shipped to boot camp. Often it takes months for a recruiter to get a single individual to sign on the dotted line. Complicating the US armed forces' prior recruitment woes was a steady dose of "woke" ideology being pumped out from Biden's Department of Defense. Indeed, Covid was another Biden disaster where many thousands of able-bodied and healthy troops were unnecessarily processed out. This decision has since been reversed, and these unfairly discharged troops are being invited back it. The boost in confidence under the early Trump administration is likely also due to the Republican president vowing to wind down foreign adventurism abroad. For example, there are reported plans on the book to bring the troops home from Syria, and likely Iraq, as well as hopes that Trump can oversee peace in Ukraine. Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has visited Washington, DC, many times and met with many different American presidents. He has met with congressional leaders of both parties over the years. But this particular meeting with Trump — who Netanyahu said is the “greatest friend of Israel” ever to serve as U.S. president — was special for a variety of reasons. First off, it comes after Trump fought his way back to the White House, and after Netanyahu had previously fought his way back to lead Israel. It also comes after the horrors of the Hamas terrorist attack of Oct. 7, 2023, and given Trump’s decision to host Netanyahu as his first foreign leader visit of his second term in office it puts an extra emphasis on U.S. support for Israel. In an interview on Thursday evening here in the nation’s capital, Netanyahu said that he has in all his trips to Washington never received such a warm welcome for Israel in the American government. “Look, I’ve been here many times. The manager of the Blair House told me I’ve been there more than any other leader. So I have some perspective,” Netanyahu said. “I’ve met American presidents many times. I’ve been in Washington many times. I’ve been on the Hill many times. But I can tell you this is the best meeting an Israeli prime minister has had with an American president and the simple reason is we’ve never had a greater friend in the White House. In fact, President Trump is the greatest friend of Israel that we’ve ever had. It’s reflected also in what I saw on the Hill, not only from the leaders of the Senate but also the leaders of the House. They sense that something different is happening. So I’m obviously very gratified and very grateful to President Trump.” More from Netanyahu’s exclusive interview with Breitbart News is forthcoming.
