Liberal elites are pushing scary numbers about Trump’s USAID cuts, but the facts don’t back their panic. Boston University professor Brooke Nichols claims 300,000 people could die from diseases like TB and malaria because of funding changes. Her “models” are just guesses dressed up as science—no real proof, just fancy math meant to scare you.
This fearmongering gets repeated by celebrities like Bono and the New York Times, but smart Americans know better. Critics on X call out Nichols for pushing a left-wing agenda with shaky methods. Her so-called “Impact Counter” is a political tool, not honest research. Why should we trust someone whose job depends on government grants to tell us the truth about government spending?
The Trump administration cleaned up USAID’s wasteful spending, cutting programs that burned taxpayer dollars overseas. Elon Musk’s efficiency reforms trimmed the fat, focusing America’s resources on Americans first. When Secretary of State Marco Rubio said “no one has died” from these cuts, the media ignored him—but he’s standing up for fiscal responsibility.
Nichols’ doom-and-gloom predictions ignore reality. Her death toll numbers keep changing, jumping from 28,000 to 300,000 without clear reasons. Real patriots see this as desperation—a last-ditch effort to protect a broken system. USAID spent decades mismanaging funds, and finally, someone’s holding them accountable.
The left wants you to think cutting foreign aid means killing kids, but that’s a lie. America remains generous, but we can’t solve every global problem. Nichols’ models assume other countries won’t step up—insulting our allies and ignoring human ingenuity. Trump put America first, and that’s how it should be.
Mainstream media parrots these fake numbers to smear conservatives. They won’t tell you that USAID wasted billions on failed projects or that corrupt regimes pocketed aid money. Trump’s cuts stop the scams and force accountability. Real Americans care about results, not hysterical predictions.
Nichols’ “research” is activism disguised as science. She’s not a prophet—she’s a professor with a political axe to grind. Her models depend on worst-case scenarios and cherry-picked data. Meanwhile, hardworking families know wasting money abroad means less for schools, roads, and healthcare here at home.
The truth is simple: America can’t be the world’s piggybank. Trump’s reforms ensure our taxes help Americans first. Nichols and her allies want open wallets and endless handouts, but conservatives know better. It’s time to stop the panic, trust common sense, and keep putting America first.
