Joe Scarborough vehemently denounced Elon Musk's announcement to shut down USAID, asserting it would severely impact global efforts against hunger and disease. He emphasized USAID's historical role in wielding American soft power, allowing for beneficial influences abroad, contrasting it with actions by rival nations like China and Russia. Scarborough condemned Musk's plans as not only harmful to international welfare but strategically foolish, diminishing U.S. standing globally by eliminating a key avenue for support and assistance in developing regions.
It's hard really to know where to start here. First of all, on U.S. Aid, let's talk about USAID for a second. Here's an organization that has fought hunger and starvation across the globe, that's fought diseases across the globe.
To have the world's richest man go in and say he's going to basically tear this organization to the ground, not only will cause immeasurable suffering across the globe, it also will put us in a strategic disadvantage.
