Uh, one problem:  Waste, fraud and abuse is ABOVE what is actually needed.  So, no, no one is getting hurt that actually needs anything.

Nothing in this article concerns life or death.  If farmers were needing USAID, then they'll have to retool their operation.  USAID was created in 1961:  What did these farmers do before this?  Trump has said if anything at USAID is absolutely necessary, it'll be rolled into, I believe, the State Department.  If the concern was people losing their jobs, well, they'll just have to go out in the private sector and find another one.  Just like people do all the time.

Elon does not have the power to cut anything........

He makes suggestions.....the actual departments do the cutting

You would not be this calm if you were a farmer  or if you had cancer. Trump has fired some government employees, then he tried to rehire them.

Of course not. Lol. I have a March appointment at M.D. Anderson in Houston. Did Trump shut it down?

Were you? If so, why don't you care about farmers? I feel bad for anyone who loses a job.

No, you don’t.  And if you actually knew any farmers you would realize they benefited from the trade deal in Trump’s first term, even though it was a little tough at first.  The only job losses you even mention are when a Republican is in office, you’re not fooling anyone.

When Covid hit, we laid off 820 out of 1,000 employees. I personally took an 80% pay cut for almost 2 years to help keep the business alive and operating as did several others. It was horrible all the way around. But it was necessary. Sometimes tough financial decisions have to be made. Lots of companies didn’t make it because they couldn’t manage themselves into survival. 
 

As a nation, we are having to make those sacrifices still. It’s not fun, but it’s necessary.

No, they didn't. How do you feel about the shortage of air traffic controllers?

You mean the shortage we’ve had for decades?

Or has Trump caused that in a month?

God you don't read do you

In a message posted to X late Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said fewer than 400 FAA employees were fired and “Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.”

Reading slows down the false accusations. 
 

Can’t have that……
