Details

President Trump froze 80% of funding to USAid earlier this year. Let’s discuss what USAid is and what the implications of this decision are. I’d really like some Trump supporters to come to share with me how they can reconcile trump being “pro life” for unborn fetus’ (which if my presentation on abortion is right, don’t even have a soul till the 3rd trimester), yet “pro death” for millions of people around the world by cutting US Aid. Cliff’s notes: over 2 million adults and over 7.5 million children are expected to die due to Trump’s USAid freezes. I very much welcome alternate points of view, but I have trouble reconciling someone being “pro life” and at the same time causing ~10 million preventable deaths.

Format: Lecture and discussion
