President Donald Trump 's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development is a disaster, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: USAID has lost both bipartisan political support in Congress and the trust of the American people.

USAID was formed in 1961 to counter Soviet efforts to spread communism in the developing world, Zelizer says.

He says USAID 's political culture would eventually skew far left, purged of conservatives and independents.

Rubio now must separate the wheat from the chaff, preserving those foreign aid programs that reflect U.S. values.

He must replace corrupt United Nations agencies, partisan NGOs and for-profit companies with a new cast of aid implementers that cost less, deliver better results.

Rubio must transition our foreign aid approach away from endless spending to promoting trade and investment.
