Nobody told him what to think about that. (He learned one lesson about law: fraud dissolves everything. Why would he learn that lesson? And get it so wrong?)Reporter: Wouldn’t it take an act of congress to do away with USAID?

Trump: I don't know, I don’t think so. Not when it comes to fraud. These people are lunatics and if it comes to fraud, you wouldn't have an act of congress. I’m not sure you would anyway. pic.twitter.com/jnil9Cx8Lw
I don’t really care what MAGA screeches. They’re idiots, and the law is the law. Fuck their ignorance.From Elon Musk's own AI, Grok:

"USAID was established by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which is a congressional statute. This means that USAID's existence is legally grounded in legislation passed by Congress, not solely by executive action.
While President John F. Kennedy did use an executive order to further define and organize USAID, the primary legal basis for its existence comes from Congress.
Executive orders can change how agencies operate or reorganize them within the executive branch but cannot unilaterally abolish an agency established by law without congressional approval."
All those MAGA folks screeching that it was created by an executive order so it can be removed by executive order need to pick up a basic civics book.
Damned little:Now what does Canada have to pretend to do so Trump can declare victory?

Trudeau on the phone to President Sheinbaum of Mexico: “You told him what? And that’s all it took? Really??! Thanks!!”Canada is giving Donald Trump something Justin Trudeau already promised in December under Biden in exchange for Donald pausing his disastrous tariffs after saying they're great for the economy?

Trump folded on his tariffs after getting the same concessions on border security from Mexico and Canada that we had under Biden.

And MAGA is clapping like seals.
🤦♀️
And weren’t tariffs going to make us rich? 🤡If Biden's border plan was so awful then how come Donald Trump wants to take credit for the 10k Mexican soldiers at the border and Canada's $1.3 billion security plan that happened under him?

Riddle me that, MAGA.
"It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it."
