Trump Admin will be setting fire to enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week

[Seymour Flops]

The cost of this little debacle:

The 500 tons of USAID biscuits cost approximately $793,000 before they expired, according to two internal USAID memos reviewed by Reuters. The cost to destroy them is estimated to be an additional $100,000. The biscuits were intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Meanwhile DOGE was supposed to find and eliminate government waste.

So instead of burning it, at a cost of $100,000. They should either sell or donate it to someone who will turn it info animal feed.

In general, crackers distributed by USAID for human consumption can potentially be repurposed as animal feed,


Crackers considered for animal feed should be safe, meaning they may have minor quality issues or have passed their "best by" date, but are not unsafe for humans or animals.

Memos "reviewed by Reuters?"

Why not just print the memos?

This is what happens when democrats use USAID to funnel money to their allies. YOUR party caused this.

Repeating bogus talking points in not an argument, even if it's all most of you tRumpling robots are capable of.

Doge was never really about finding or eliminating waste or fraud. It was about blowing up programs Elmo didn't like.

Explain in detail what is "bogus" about my post.

Do you really care if the cost was $793,000 or $783,000, or $803,000?

By not thinking Trump and his people just wasted a million dollars.

And caused an incalculable number of malnourished children to DIE

I would be very concerned if there were any evidence that any of that is true.

The constant lies about Trump Administration dont engender trust.

The evidence is there. That you disagree does not matter.

DOGE and the Trump administration are responsible for denying a bunch of food for children.

Yes, the admin is responsible for destroying food. You know that is so.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Nearly 500 metric tones worth nearly a billion dollars. Enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week, I'm told, being destroyed because the trump administration didn't like a few USAID programs.

This is what trump has brought us to. we're throwing food away rather than feeding starving children.

But the trump supporters will not care. They will in fact deflect or defend this, if they don't outright cheer it because those kids are most likely brown and not white.

Foreign aid food will be destroyed after Trump's USAID cuts. Here's why

The Trump administration dismantled USAID, causing distribution disruptions. Now some has expired, and it is set to be destroyed due to protocol.

Letting food go past "expiration date" =/= "destroying."

Why the EU let millions of children starve?

Put out your hair and relax, kid. I wasn't serious. I don't have any control over what tRump does with the food.

What Trump did would be no different than if they bought 500 tons of milk to go to the children. And then let it sit around until it spoiled.

Waste... waste... waste... waste....

The EU also let their countries get overrun by Hitler.

Some things take the resources of the worlds richest country to supply.
