During a press conference Tuesday, President Donald Trump described several questionable federal expenses uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with rooting out government waste, fraud, abuse and corruption.
Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Trump ran down a list of numerous foreign programs being funded by American taxpayers that insanely included $520 million for environmental consulting, $10 million for circumcisions in Mozambique, “$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia” and more.
“$520 million for ESG (Environmental Social Governance),” Trump stated. “$25 million to promote biodiversity, conservation, and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Columbia.”
“Well, that’s nice, $25 million going to Columbia — for something that nobody ever heard of,” he continued, adding, “$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants — $40 million.”
“$42 million for John Hopkins, great place, to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda,” Trump read, adding, “$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,” he stated, continuing, “$10 million for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions –$10 million for circumcisions in another country.”
Underscoring his point after listing several more questionable programs, Trump concluded, “We’re talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. I could, by the way, I could read this all day long. I could go on all day long.”
The president’s mention of federal spending cuts by DOGE comes as the left has criticized the agency headed by Elon Musk for disrupting federal government institutions and eliminating large swaths of the federal workforce, arguing the cuts have had few results.
Ahead of delving into the dubious foreign programs, Trump also pointed out DOGE had uncovered massive fraud in the country’s Social Security system, including “one person that’s 360 years old.”
