The Trump administration has put on leave about 60 senior career officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) workers, sources familiar with the matter said, after Washington put a sweeping freeze on U.S. aid worldwide.

The administration on Saturday urged the USAID staff to join the effort to transform how Washington allocates aid around the world in line with Trump’s “America First” policy. It also threatened “disciplinary action” for any staff ignoring the administration’s orders.

An internal memo sent to USAID employees on Monday evening said the new leadership identified several actions in the agency that “appeared to be designed to circumvent the President’s Executive Orders and the mandate from the American people.” More

  1. It’s called “Malicious Compliance” and it’s the deep state’s primary weapon of passive aggression:

    “Malicious compliance (also known as malicious obedience) is the behavior of strictly following the orders of a superior despite knowing that compliance with the orders will have an unintended or negative result. It usually implies following an order in such a way that ignores or otherwise undermines the order’s intent, but follows it to the letter…”

    PDT is onto the bullshit this time around. Expect much crying from the perps—and their media bitches—as they are shunted onto the sidings or just plain derailed.

  2. “…calling into question billions of dollars of life-saving aid.”

    Editorialize much, MSN? Consider the possibility that most, if not all, of the “aid” is bribery in the form of money we don’t have. It is not powdered milk or diesel generators, and it never gets to those whose “lives” need to be “saved”. Nobody ever watched where the “life-saving aid” went before. Somebody is watching now.
