This great news! $40 billion dollars saved in one swoop. Keep the money here. We gotta take care of our own stuff before we start throwing money to other countries.
Besides, how many countries send us financial aid when something bad happens to here?!
- LOL you think ANY of that money is staying with the USA? It's going right into Trump's pocket you delusional fool
  
  And I'm still happy about it.
  You call me a delusional fool, but Trump won, so I guess it's time for the delusional fools to shine, right?
  Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have tried to scam the public. Seems like there were some fools in charge of them too. :)
  
  Your one of those. 🤮
  
  I didn't vote for Trump.
  But I AM one of those laughing about how much Lemmy and the Democrats fucked up when it came to the election. :)
  I didn't vote for him, but I don't care that he won. I think the shit he's doing is hilarious and you all acting like it's the end of the world. lmao
  
  Lemmy and the Democrats
  holy shit babe, you’re actually a clown
  
  Awww, thank you. I appreciate it.
  I have had a fucking great time since November. How are things with you? I mean, I'm just a clown, so things must be going super well with you over there, right?
  
  ... you done?
  
  Just getting started. How about you?
  You gonna answer my question or not?
  
  golly you’re jazzed up, huh? yeah i’m doing good, thanks for asking!
  i figured with the time to breath you would realize how hilarious and infantile this angle was, but egg on my face for thinking you’d be introspective at all. pleeaaaase continue down this path you’re on, it’s honestly really funny to watch this whole jester act 💖
  
  but egg on my face for thinking you’d be introspective at all.
  What the fuck took you so long to realize that?!
  it’s honestly really funny to watch this whole jester act
  And gratulon, amiko! You're getting very, very close to the truth. You sarcasm shouldn't be sarcastic there. And also, what the fuck took you so long to realize that?
  Think about it. Look at what's in my profile. I really am a Socialist. I really am a Satanist. And voted that way. Do ya honestly think I'm a Trump supporter? Feel free to read up on my replies to people if you are bored enough to. I promise you, you're smart enough to figure it out.
  But shhhh, don't tell anyone. It'd ruin their desire to have blind rage when I post something. It's all about those downvotes, baaaabbbyyy! I gotta be a slay queen!
  Thanks, friend!
  
  Good to see the Reddit and X refugees fitting in fine.
  
  So you think Lemmy should only have anti-Trump people and hardcore Democrats on it?
  Oops, that's not gonna happen. Deal with it, friend.
  
  Why do you keep making up things and pretending I said them?
  
  I wasn't pretending you said it. I was asking you a question. Feel free to answer. Or not.
  
  Personally I'd rather have a walled garden so I didn't have to listen to all you brain washed yet voting aged Americans constantly argue about your pedophile leader but that's just me.
  
  Well you're in luck. Lemmy is mostly a walled garden. And the block button is super easy to use. So you can have your walled-in echochamber garden in under 5 minutes.
- I'm not certain USAID sends financial aid or rather if they provide services paid by their budget. And yes, the US does receive foreign aid in emergency cases. You have probably forgotten already, but there were some pretty bad fires lately that Canada helped fight with their CL-415s. Because, you know, money doesn't usually solve any issue but debt. It won't take out a fire or end a pandemic.
  No country does foreign aid out of goodness. It puts your own companies into these countries.
  I'm not saying the US has any obligation to provide foreign aid. But don't portray them as a country that gets explored by other nations. The only ones exploring the US are the rich. The US is wealthy enough, possibly even the wealthiest large nation on earth. It wouldn't be if they just gave all money or whatever away. It's just a lie to keep you distracted.
  
  Fair points. But I think we provide way to much foreign aid. And I wanna know here the $40 billions dollars that this department oversaw went.
  If it's good and they have been doing good work, then they should make it public record.
