For more than 12 years, Nicholas Enrich worked at USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, rising to become one of the agency’s top global health officials. Then, in a matter of weeks, he watched as the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) dismantled the six-decade-old agency responsible for delivering American foreign aid around the world.
Enrich documented the experience in his book Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower’s Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID. He joined Current Affairs editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson to discuss what happened behind the scenes, and its devastating consequences.
This is what Mass Murder looks like.
His piss poor handling of Covid and the million plus Americans dead because of his fragile ego made anyone who voted for him in any of the 3 elections persona non grata to me. I hope they all get every disease their dear leader cancelled research for. The planet would be better off without their willful stupidity. Bunch of stupid fucks barely smart enough to not drown in a shower.
Sorry, but no.
Covid was handled poorly by a significant population that denied it and went batshit crazy after staying home 10 days. Fucking idiots won COVID.
And if he hadn’t been such a cunt about it maybe his moronic followers/enablers wouldn’t have been such pieces of shit themselves. A leader should lead, and he lead us into a cesspit of stupid fucking assholes with his flippant attitude and approach.
While I won’t argue the public at large were fucking morons, he fomented the whole thing.
I would put far more blame on Facebook and Joe Rogan. Trump signed off on shut down, and when he got sick that was quite inspiring. He signed the Warp speed law and that made a massive difference. He could have played it like Sweden and just ignored COVID completely.
Even Obama and his planned response would have got the same results from a country full of assholes.
He tried to ignore COVID completely. Do you not remember all the “if we don’t test there won’t be so many cases” bullshit? And his dismissal of masks and science and intelligence in general.
All that did was inspire me to root for the disease.
