But he managed to hijack the programming of some news networks so that they are not talking about life-saving medicine. being blocked from children. And they're not talking about starvation, preventing food that the United States Agency for International Development is not delivering tonight because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk who decided to illegally shut down that agency, stop all the employees of USAID around the world from doing their jobs.

There is a famine in Sudan. And USAID had food shipments on the way that Elon Musk decided to stop, because Elon Musk does not believe those people in Africa should be fed. He apparently does not believe that they have a right to life. The richest person in the world decided that the poorest people in the world should starve.

The richest person in the world decided that the poorest people in the world should die. And the President of the United States, who lied about Gaza in that press conference tonight, was not asked a single question about why he is blocking life saving medicine to babies, to mothers, to grandmothers, and why he's blocking the delivery of food to starving people.

Not one question. Because he threw out that madness about Gaza becoming the Riviera of the Middle East, and the reporters fell for it. The reporters chased him. The reporters all wanted to waste their questions on the infrastructure weak goofiness of that press conference. Every single question they asked Donald Trump about infrastructure during his first presidency was a wasted question.
