So if Trump can do away with USAid with the Stroke of a pen, why not Social Security next?

USAID is a creation of statute and Congress. USAID was created under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and later by act of Congress (The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, 22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) established USAID as its own agency. In a section titled “Status of AID” (22 U.S.C. 6563) it states:

Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?

Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.

www.justsecurity.org

Social Security and Medicaid are also creatures of Statute.

So, if Trump can destroy and gut USAID why not any other federal agency? Why not dissolve and gut Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare? He has the power according to MAGAs.

For all the MAGA who answer, "Well Trump said he won't," remember Trump also said he knew nothing of Project 2025 which he is following to a tee.

Be careful what you wish for.

Based on certain comments below I am only asking a question why couldn't Trump gut and dissolve Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare by EO just like he did with USAID, another independent federal agency..not that he would gut them...not yet anyway

Trump will never do anything to hurt people receiving social security .. the claim that he will is just another insane emotional lie pushed by disturbed effeminate"s ..

Are they going to refund all the money that workers have paid into the kitty?

Otherwise, that's outright theft, right?

International drag shows instead of N.C. flood victims? Is it a slush fund for CIA black bag operations? Liberals used to hate that when Nixon was president.

Should the flood victims be dressed in drag also?

I am sure you are a stud, who's been put out to pasture.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Trump is on the side of responsible people providing for themselves in the present and for the future
Not so much though for the welfare and illegal bunch.

Social security is welfare?

 

[Moonglow]

here is Trump's government invading my privacy..

 

[BluesLegend]

So, you are fine with the elimination of social security, medicare and medicaid. Good for you!

LMAO have you idiot Dems come up with anything original since 1972? Republicans are going to take away your social security? Really?

 

[Mac-7]

It’s amazing how efficient right wing disinformation is.

It’s sad how little you care.

I think an argument can be made on a case by case basis for some international aid

But I dont expect to hear libs on this forum make thst argument

The Republican Congress has abdicated their role as a check on the Executive.

They are doing key bumps and banging Amber Rose.

 

[westwall]

You voted for this, you moron.

Yeah, we did. And we love what is happening. Your precious little NFO's are SCREWED baby! No more leeching off of the public.

Sucks to be a marxist.

It’s hard to argue with someone who believes misinformation.

There never was $50 million for condoms did Hamas. It’s a lie invented by Trump and his cronies.

You really have to ask yourself why they need to lie. But what’s really scary is that the people in the government who know the truth are now threatened into silence.

But that’s okay with you, somehow.

I dont know where corruption or stupidity within USAID is

But my expectation is that the Trump Administration will find out

And rather than threatening people to hide the truth Trump will expose it

How the FUCK do you know that as a fact??????
Talk about disinformation.
The whole "because I say so" from the demented LEFT is getting OLD.

Why? Because Trump is so honest and trustworthy? You already believed the lie about condoms. What do you think would happen if someone at USAID came out and said that Trump was lying?

 

[Mac-7]

You already believed the lie about condoms.

I took it seriously

And still do

its too soon to say

In any case your side has far more to worry about - and hide - now that biden is gone

 

[hadit]

Both the Social Security Administration and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are independent agencies of the US government. If Trump can dissolve and gut one, he can gut and dissolve the other.

Keep an eye out and be sure to let us know when he does, okay?

We fear Trump being able to perpetuate misinformation to facilitate his authoritarian control of government.

We fear it because people like you give us reason to. You are so easily manipulated.

Prove that the condom story is a lie.
GO!!!!!!!!!
