They want to end him before he exposes their secrets. One such secret is that, for years, the deep state has been building systems like the one at USAID.<\/p>\n<p>These shell pseudo-agencies get your tax dollars for seemingly harmless and necessary things like feeding people and giving medicine to those who have no access to it. So, on the outside, these entities look like they are doing a real humanitarian service to poor people.<\/p>\n<p>Who wouldn&rsquo;t want to help them, right?<\/p>\n<p>However, on the inside, the goal is to pay as many people as possible off, with the most amount of money possible without getting caught. The difficult part is knowing how much money can be used for payoffs.<\/p>\n<p>As with all organisms, USAID&rsquo;s number one goal is to survive. For years, we conservatives have joked about the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1986\/02\/18\/us\/dept-of-hundred-dollar-toilet-seats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spending hundreds of dollars for one hammer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>In recent times these are too easy to catch, so organizations like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-sends-doge-pentagon-usaid-bigger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USAID<\/a> were used as a parking place for money.&nbsp; This shell game was very easy to keep up for a long time as no one either had enough power or enough guts to go after them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, however, with Trump in office, the balance of power has changed. The stars have finally aligned and now the one with the necessary power, Trump has the desire to take this money (which should have never been collected by the government in the first place) to be used for what it was intended for: running the government and paying off U.S. debt.<\/p>\n<p>(As an aside, if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-issues-new-counsel-israel-hamas-saturday-get-ready-break-loose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> were to make a dent in the national debt, it would be his greatest achievement.)<\/p>\n<p>Now that there is a leader like Trump at the helm, the crazy government spending we once only heard rumors about has come starkly into view.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump couldn&rsquo;t have done this all alone. Now entering the scene, &ldquo;Billionaire number two&rdquo; Elon Musk. He understands where the money goes in a company (from running X, Tesla, SpaceX, or any of his other companies) and what needs to be done to make it functional.<\/p>\n<p>With Rubio as acting director of US AID, things are happening. Spending is being cut. Problematic employees are being laid off. And the deep state is petrified.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself: Why is the media caterwauling about this? The answer comes into focus.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how they asked Musk &ldquo;How are you firing all these Twitter employees without impacting the company&rsquo;s day-to-day operations?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Musk&rsquo;s answer simply explained that it doesn&rsquo;t take nearly as many personnel if you aren&rsquo;t trying to run a political organization.<\/p>\n<p>So whether it&rsquo;s locking the doors on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ben-stiller-denies-taking-usaid-money-lies-coming-russian-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USAID<\/a> or setting up beds for the auditors in the Office of Personnel Management, Elon knows how to get to the bottom of the operation, and they (Deep State bureaucrats) are petrified that their secrets, that have been sloppily kept, are now going to be fully exposed in all their hideous glory.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><b>The views expressed in this opinion article are those of their author and are not necessarily either d or endorsed by the owners of this website.

One significant secret is that for years, the deep state has been creating entities like USAID. These shell organizations receive taxpayer money under the guise of providing essential services such as food and medicine to those in need. While they appear to be engaged in humanitarian efforts, their true objective is to distribute as much money as possible for payoffs without detection. The challenge lies in determining how much can be allocated for these payoffs. Like any organization, USAID&#8217;s main priority is its own survival.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, conservatives have joked about government overspending on trivial items like hammers. Recently, it has become easier to expose these practices; thus, agencies like USAID have served as a means of hiding funds. This deception persisted because no one had enough power or courage to confront them\u2014until now with Trump in office. The power dynamics have shifted significantly; Trump aims to redirect this misappropriated money back into government operations and debt repayment.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump manages to reduce national debt, it would be a monumental achievement for him.
