The Spin


Anti-Trump narrative

Aid cuts are gutting women's organizations worldwide, stripping at least 1 million women and girls of critical support. This isn't just a funding gap, but part of a broader global rollback of women's rights happening in real time. Dismantling these organizations mid-crisis doesn't save money; it costs lives.

Pro-Trump narrative

USAID burned through $715 billion over decades with little to show for it — instability worsened, anti-American sentiment grew and recipient nations still voted against U.S. interests at the U.N. Redirecting foreign assistance through the State Department means real accountability and an America First strategy.
