Dismantling of USAID: Rebirth of American Exceptionalism
By Peter Marko Tase for AmericanDiary24
The evolution of the U.S. Foreign Policy priorities and Washington’s feckless presence in Latin America – under Presidents Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Barack Hussein Obama II – have profoundly deteriorated the national economy, industrial development and America’s geostrategic interests across the hemisphere. The Biden – Harris Administration has proved to be highly corrupt, incompetent and promoted public policies that have seriously harmed the health and financial sustainability of American families. In January 2025, President Donald J. Trump inherited a mess from Biden and his radical left lunatics. The current Trump Administration has broken all records of previous U. S. Presidents, in terms of efficiency and cleaning up the federal government from enormous fraud and waste. The Trump White House has magnificently been able to swiftly tackle government waste across all government agencies including USAID, and the work being done by the White House's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk is truly remarkable. Elon Musk and his team of bright and young scientists is saving billions of U. S. Dollars for America’s taxpayers.
On February 9th, Elon Musk called for the impeachment of the federal judge who made a decision on February 8th that the U. S. Treasury Department should block access to anyone “other than civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” from its payment systems.
According to The Hill: “The order explicitly prohibits special government employees and those detailed from outside the department from getting access to the systems, a designation that would cover Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).”
Such a frantic decision has irritated Mr. Musk, who expressed his frustration in a few posts made on his social network X, stating: “A corrupt judge protecting corruption,” published at 2:11 a.m. “He needs to be impeached NOW.”
The principles of integrity, transparency and government efficiency are a critical dimension that deserve concentrated scrutiny today as western democracies find the fundamental tenets of their implicit social contract facing extreme challenges; there is no doubt that the Trump administration is genuinely focused to Make America Great Again and proudly revive the American economy while embracing impressive statecraft and defending Washington’s geopolitical interests in Latin America and Europe.
With an unbridled potential and commitment, DOGE has laid bare and exposed large schemes of corruption concocted by USAID; International projects that were tailored to only benefit a few U. S. oligarchs that were close to the Biden family and its trusted associates. It is unfathomable to listen to Latin American intellectuals - vehemently criticize the Trump White House - such as Paraguay’s Carter protégé Dr. Benjamin Fernandez Bogado who was educated in two American Universities thanks to US tax payers’ money and the impressive hospitality of Minnesotans and Bostonians. Dr. Benjamin Fernandez Bogado, and other Latin Americanists, such as Martín Burt (Director of Fundación Paraguaya), have unfairly criticized the current U. S. Government’s decision to halt the operations of USAID in Paraguay; due to the fact that both of them are heavily relying on hefty contracts signed with this corrupt agency that has grossly abused with America’s public coffers for decades.
Fernández and Burt have been hired on multiple occasions by the USAID feckless bureaucrats in Washington, to do their ‘development work’ in the streets of Asuncion, without delivering any tangible results to the Paraguayan Democracy and its society suffering from a persistent poverty. But at the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is the Paraguayan incumbent President Santiago Peña Palacios, who has emerged as a malignant tumor in Paraguay’s democracy and turned his nation into a narco-state worse than Maduro’s Venezuela. Peña Palacios has built a luxurious mansion in Cordillera San Bernardino – Paraguay that is worth over two million USD, built with dirty money that is generated by drug trafficking operations and money laundering schemes concocted by the national banking sector of Paraguay, to benefit international criminal organizations.
In his 1796 Farewell Address, President George Washington stated: “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is to have with them as little political [as distinct from commercial] connection as possible.” America’s founding father argued that Europe had its own set of interests, and those interests were very different from those of the United States. On the other hand, Latin America is geographically connected to Washington and – after Obama’s and Sleepy Joe’s withdrawal from Latin America and suspension of the historic Monroe Doctrine – the White House with its “Donroe Doctrine”, will continue to defend the economic and political interests of America, such a magnificent strategy is in the best interest of the Latin American region. Countries from El Salvador to Argentina will have a closer cooperation with Washington and work hard to alleviate the disturbing social disparities in the hemisphere.
As President Washington stated: "it is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it.” Today, President Donald J. Trump has shown the courage, vision and intrepidity to impressively navigate America’s Foreign Policy tenets unlike any other president since Abraham Lincoln – together with U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio – towards the apex of success, achieving unparalleled results and reshaping America’s exceptionalism.
