Trump Admin Burns Food Instead of Feeding Kids

THANKS DOGE! That's right, thanks to the callous, shortsighted cuts by DOGE, the Trump administration has ordered 500 metric tons of emergency food aid—enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week—to be incinerated tomorrow rather than be distributed as part of its ongoing purge of USAID.

Unrelated, remember when Elon was showed how he could solve world hunger for 6 billion dollars and he ignored it and bought Twitter for 46 billion instead. So cool. Such a good guy.

The high-energy biscuits, intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid.

Current and former aid workers, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation, say that the sheer scale of waste is horrific and unprecedented. Despite repeated assurances from the administration not to eliminate food aid, U.S. warehouses around the world currently house 60,000 tons of food, including peas and cereal originally bound for famine-stricken Sudan, which the administration is now unable to deliver even if it wanted to after gutting USAID and firing logistical experts.

According to The Atlantic, the amount of food set to be destroyed tomorrow would be enough to feed every single child currently starving in Gaza.

Republicans, the party of "family values" love kids, especially when they're dead.
