Trump destroys 500 tons of Emergency Food
US tax payers money has already been spent: $800,000 on high-energy biscuits to help people impacted by natural disasters or fleeing war

The food was originally meant for other countries children, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc.

Since Trump killed USAID via at the time US Shadow President Elon Musk DOGE cuts, that food has just being sitting there, undelivered.

It can feed 1.5 million children!

It wasn't even given to the flood victims in America, which Trump also pretty much ignored. No American charity, and no homeless shelters, etc.

Just sat there and it's set to expire (15th July 2025)

So before it even expired, Trump order them to burn it all.

Trump administration reportedly plans to spend $130,000 to burn the biscuits instead of sending them to children in need.

What would you do with tons of emergency food set to expire?

Yeah, it was going to go bad, because he didn't previously send it anywhere and use it. High-energy biscuits do last for quite a while.
There are a bunch of nonprofit organizations that deal with nearly expired food to give to poor Americans. They could absorb that amount of excessive food without blinking an eye.

Well, America did use to pride itself in helping and supporting other countries. It would always roleplay as the World's #1 and a hero as such for others. However, not at all since Trump - it's more of a third-world country now under US debt it can't pay back, so just leeching it all to the ultra-rich billionaires before sucked dry?

Don’t act like only the US is contributing food supplies to poor countries.

That's what I would of thought.

However most of the American homeless seem to be "disappearing" with ICE, claiming they are undocumented.

Not sure how they disappear and still got enough food / shelter for that either.
A quick search shows this originates from "The Atlantic" and "The Daily Beast", same folks that espoused "russian collusion", no thanks.

Your Trumpism cult has taught you well, never to question anything and always just cry "FAKE NEWS"... unless Trump tells you it, in which case use a short term memory lost from his previous claims as he tends to flip-flop a hell of a lot!

Rep. Adam Smith quote: "Over the coming weeks, the food will be destroyed at a cost of $130,000 to American taxpayers (on top of the $800,000 used to purchase the biscuits)"

"The Trump administration is destroying 500 metric tons of emergency food—and making U.S. taxpayers foot the bill. In the coming weeks, high-energy biscuits, enough to feed 1.5 million children, will be torched at a cost of $130,000. This comes after $800,000 in taxpayer funds were already spent to purchase the food. This is the very definition of waste and government abuse. We must restore critical foreign aid programs that save lives, rather than let vulnerable children starve while we burn the food that could have fed them."

Wouldn't it be fake food? o.O
The Trump administration isn't being honest: High -Energy biscuits have an expiration date of 20 years. I know because I've had them before. A quick google search will give the same answer.

Yeah, I thought they lasted for ages. I guess they might go a bit stale, but should still last way longer.
