President Trump reads list of US government Fraud Uncovered by Elon Musk's DOGE: "This is all fraud."

"Where's the money being spent? Right? Let's go into that for just a second. $520 million for a consultant on the environment. It's called Environmental, Social, and Governance investments in Africa and mobilized private sector resources. $520 million? Somebody got $520 million for an environmental...sounds like an environmental study. I've always been one that paid a lot of money for my environmental studies but they, you know, I paid like $50,000, not $520 million. $520 million for ESG. $25 million to promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia. Well, it's nice, $25 million to go into Colombia for something that nobody ever heard of. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. $42 million for Johns Hopkins—great place to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda. $42 million? What about us? What about social change in our country? $70 million for a center at Purdue to research university-sourced evidence-based solutions to developmental challenges. I mean, these are massive numbers on things that nobody ever heard about. $10 million for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions. $10 million for circumcisions in another country. $9.7 million for UC Berkeley to develop a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills. In other words, let's teach them something about enterprise. What about our people? Can't we teach them about enterprise? $2.3 million for strengthening independent voices in Cambodia. $32 million to the Prague Civil Society Center, which is a very liberal group of people. Wonder how much of that money came back to the people that approved it. $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia. $486 million to the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening, including $22 million for inclusive and participatory political process in Moldova and $21 million for voter turnout in India. Well, why are we giving $21 million to India? They got a lot of money there—they're one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us. We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high. I have a lot of respect for India. I have a lot of respect for the Prime Minister—he just left, as you know, two days ago. But we're giving $21 million for voter turnout? It's voter turnout in India. What about like voter turnout here? We've done that, I guess. We did $500 million, didn't we? It's called the lockboxes. $20 million for fiscal federalism in Nepal. Listen to these numbers—this is all fraud. $19 million for biodiversity conservation in Nepal. $1.5 million for voter confidence—we want to give them confidence in Liberia. $14 million for social cohesion in Mali. $2.5 million for inclusive democracies in South Africa. $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia. Asia's doing very well. They're doing a lot better than we do in the schools, aren't they? $2 million to develop sustainable recycling models to increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities in Kosovo and Eskişehir and in Egypt. We're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars.
