The International Development Agency has been shut down: it all happened in just seven days. Musk was in charge of auditing and disclosing the accounts, drawing public attention and criticism. Trump then made the final decision, and Rubio was responsible for executing the plan. It was as simple as that—a swift and decisive cut, and the International Development Agency, which had existed for half a century, spending $50 billion annually of taxpayers’ money and supporting tens of thousands of left-wing parasites, vanished in an instant.
Surprised or not?
The trio of Trump, Musk, and Rubio executed a strategy akin to a pick-and-roll in basketball. The person with the actual authority to reorganize and shut down the agency was Rubio. Musk, acting as the President’s special envoy with full authority, had the power to audit the accounts.
When Musk began exposing the massive scandals within the agency, Rubio was on a visit to Panama. The media spotlight was entirely on Musk. This was the first pick-and-roll.
As Democrats and left-wing activists took to the streets to denounce Musk for not being an elected official, Trump swiftly appointed Rubio as the acting director of the agency, merging it into the State Department. This was the second pick-and-roll.
After a week of public outcry, when the agency had become universally despised, Rubio announced the plan to shut it down and reorganize it.
On February 7th, the agency was dismantled. Out of 14,000 employees, only 297 remained. The pick-and-roll was complete.
The Democrats who protested against Musk had no actual power to do anything. The true decision-makers, Trump and Rubio, made their move, and the Democrats, along with the left-wing activists, dared not utter a word.
So, the game was this: Musk played the “bad cop,” drawing the fire, while Rubio played the “good cop.”
Those left-wing activists still grumbling haven’t the wit to see through this simple pick-and-roll strategy.
Meanwhile, the big boss, Trump, sits steadily in command, strategizing from his headquarters and securing victory in Washington…
