The Trump administration is putting a stick of dynamite under the deep state, and Democrats are apoplectic. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump put nearly all District of Columbia-based employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave. According to Politico, this amounts to about 1,400 people in addition to 600 employees who were put on leave starting Sunday. This comes after the Trump administration put a 90-day freeze on all foreign assistance. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and entrepreneur Elon Musk—who runs the newly created Department of Government Efficiency—have spent the last few days excoriating USAID for wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on useless or downright pernicious projects around the globe. Rubio explained what the problem with USAID is in an interview with Fox News on Monday.
