Musk and Trump bash immigrants while destroying programs to stabilize their home countries

Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE team are trying to dismantle foreign aid.

They've targeted the US African Development Foundation and the Inter-American Foundation , which were founded by Congress in 1969 .

Trump and Musk have twisted and mischaracterized the U.S. aid programs to make them sound frivolous, wasteful, and unimportant.

Ironically, both agencies have worked towards goals that they claim they support.

Trump 's foreign aid freeze caused many of the people the agency works with in Africa to immediately lose their jobs.

The maximum amount that could be given to any organization was $ 350,000 , “after thorough due diligence and a background check on the organization,” according to a USADF employee.

The shuttering of the IAF also means that millions of dollars from private foundations will also have to be returned.

“Intentional cruelty is their M.O. ,” an IAF employee said.
