President Donald Trump expressed his disagreement with a federal judge's ruling that halted Elon Musk's and DOGE's access to the treasury payment systems. In a recent interview, Trump referred to the decision as 'crazy' and emphasized the need to address efficiency issues and combat fraud and abuse within the government.
Trump raised concerns about the allocation of funds at the US Agency for International Development, suggesting that there are significant amounts of money being misdirected. He proposed redirecting foreign aid funding through the State Department to ensure better oversight and accountability.
While advocating for a more targeted approach to distributing aid, Trump did not specify which programs he believes should receive priority. He mentioned the possibility of entrusting Senator Marco Rubio at the State Department with overseeing the distribution of funds to 'the few good ones.'
The president characterized the current system as a 'big scam' and emphasized the importance of ensuring that funds are allocated appropriately to support deserving initiatives. He highlighted the need to streamline processes and eliminate wasteful spending to improve the effectiveness of government programs.
Trump's comments come in the context of ongoing efforts by the administration and Elon Musk to reform the distribution of foreign aid and enhance accountability in government spending. The debate over how best to allocate resources and address inefficiencies in the system remains a topic of contention among policymakers and stakeholders.
