WASHINGTON D.C. - As details leak of the Iran-US peace plan, including a rumoured $300 billion reparations payment from the US to the Iranian regime, President Donald Trump was quick to reassure supporters that this by no means indicates that the US lost the war.
And the Marshal Plan bought the US a tremendous amount of goodwill in Europe, however I don’t think Trump understands the concept of soft power, the way he keeps pissing it away.
The smartest person to have ever existed, Elron Musk, apparently doesn’t either. He literally didn’t know what USAID did while he was destroying it, motivated by that he wanted to end their investigation into the possible use of missing Starlink terminals by Russia. Members of his admin and maga dorks in general often say “why are we spending money on other countries and not at home??” They’re incredibly unaware of how global politics works and generally of other countries at all. Well, not as if Republicans allow taxpayer dollars to be used to help citizens domestically anyway.
They actually do. For billionaire citizens.
