DAVID MARCUS: If USAID is so vital, where is the global outrage?

Columnist David Marcus writes that only American bureaucrats seem to be outraged over President Trump's war on the United States Agency for International Development. That's a big tell that it isn't really helping foreign countries, and some of their leaders agree.

What started out as an opportunity to spread the basic American ideals of freedom and democracy turned into anti-democratic attempts to affect political change in other nations that border on imperialism. David Marcus is a columnist living in West Virginia and the author of "Charade: The COVID Lies That Crushed A Nation."

Take the president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, who shocked his CNN interviewer this week by saying of the cuts to USAID, "President Trump has unconventional ways of dealing with things. I completely agree with him." When pressed on the support his nation's people may lose, he replied, "We might learn some lessons."
