4. They (Trump, Musk, and the Doge boys) have already killed 300,000 Africans with their cuts to USAID

Cruelty is the point.

When Brooke Nichols plugged in the data, she couldn’t comprehend what she was seeing.

The mathematician and professor of infectious diseases at Boston University had created a model to predict the human cost of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (Doge) USAid funding cuts.

Snip


What Nichols had not appreciated was what was killing people, and just how quickly it appeared to be killing them. A death was estimated to be happening somewhere in the world every three minutes. “It was just shocking,” she said.

As Elon Musk, the head of Doge, arrived at the White House on Friday afternoon to be congratulated by President Trump for his work slashing the federal budget, the number of deaths on Nichols’s tracker hit 300,000, more than 200,000 of them children.

Their racism is on full on display.

“They” would rather let the food rot or burn it than give it to black people in Africa. This is not only
Trump’s racism but also Elon Musk’s South Afrikaner beliefs too. They also let tens of thousands of
of kits that keep starving people from dying from diarrhea go to waste too. Hell, they are just n*****s.
I wonder if Trump’s Christian supporters understand that their Jesus was black.

These are Pol Pot, Hitler, and Stalin type of #s.
