People like Trump and Musk don't understand what USAID actually does, they just see it as giving money to "shithole countries", brown people and do-nothing wokesters. They truly believe the free market maintains itself and US hegemony is a result of merit. They are not ideological warriors like Allan Dulles, but instead rubes who landed on the top of the pyramid.
They are like a crow (being generous here) stuck inside a T-34, able to knock whichever lever they wish about, able to understand it makes the machine move, maybe even somewhat comprehending the destruction it brings, but never realising why it does what it does or which lever does what or that the engine needs oil, the gears grease, the tower shells.
