So if Trump can do away with USAid with the Stroke of a pen, why not Social Security next?

This is B.S.

Anything that was established by an EO can be undone by an EO.



Trump can end USAID, but its functions have to be rolled into the Sec. of State office.

Back to Basics.

The executive, constitutionally, has full authority over foreign relations and foreign spending. Even if a court determines that the President & Sec. of State can not unilaterally re-organize, since this is their area of authority, they can reduce USAID to a one person staff with no power, until the Senate approves any new organization.


If this administrative agency is working at cross purposes to the current admin., it is their prerogative to change how it is operating and what USAID is spending money on & for what purpose.
USAID was initially created by EO, but then codified by statute. It cannot therefore be undone by EO.
 
It is humorous to watch demofks heads explode. They still believe demofks don't have to answer to anyone. hahahahahahahahhahaa what a good lesson they are learning on what honesty and transparency looks like.
BTW, the only reason the demofks were on the line protesting is because they need their money laundered.
The funny part is the reaction by some of the demofk lawmakers, I heard this morning one of the Demofks complaining because the checks have already been cut. For me, the answer for her is, so, where is the check going and to whom? If it isn't destined for what the appropriations were meant for, then the check is canceled. It's not rocket science or string science.
 
We fear Trump being able to perpetuate misinformation to facilitate his authoritarian control of government.

We fear it because people like you give us reason to. You are so easily manipulated.
Yet we cannot trust the anti-TRUMP! obsessed to tell the truth either, as they are easily manipulated by anything promising hate for him.

The problem is you guys are paranoid lunatics. When NOAA corrected Trump on the expected course of a hurricane, you guys decided the weathermen had formed a secret cabal to embarrass Trump.

If that had happened now, they’d all lose their jobs.
 
Both the Social Security Administration and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are independent agencies of the US government. If Trump can dissolve and gut one, he can gut and dissolve the other.

But he won't because SS sustains Americans rather than giving tons of money to start Sesame Street in Iran or whatever
 
And there it is. Here's a hint, nobody believes that outside your fever swamp.
