The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

Trump attacks Zelensky in a post, calls him a dictator
Trump says Zelensky 'better move fast or he's not going to have a country left'
Trump is obsessed with "not having a country left". 4-5 years ago he was saying the same about the US - if Biden becomes president, we will not have a country left. So in his worldview, the US is not a country for many years now. Cheer up Zelensky, it turns out not having a country left is not so bad.
 
Wall Street wants to know if DOGE-led job cuts will tip U.S. into recession
The No. 1 question from clients of Apollo Global Management is whether DOGE-related firings and jobs cuts can create an economic downturn

Trump's 20% 'DOGE Dividend' tax refund will benefit Americans. But it might pinch your pocket.

The 21 million is already refuted, turns out some people in the US government are confused between India and Bangladesh : https://www.business-standard.com/e...india-debunked-bangladesh-125022100319_1.html

The website of the NGO shows that it partners with another NGO - Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) which actively works in the Indian subcontinent.
Can't wash off hands so easy, it's deeply rooted than how average person can think.

People in the US government are not confused, it's most likely just that the Trump team tried to convert the funding list items into outrage news headlines and didn't care about how accurate they were.

You must have heard about that "50k $ for trans play in cambodia" or something like that, that again was actually given to some university as a general grant, and the uni just happened to have a trans play.

In the case of this NGO they most likely looked up on its website what it generally does and gave it to Trump to read.

100% of Bangladesh is part of the Indian subcontinent, so that doesn't contradict the later news that it was Bangladesh. We can't really expect accuracy, exact record-keeping, and truth in declarations from the US (or any other country) for such spends. There are way too many incentives to lie: news headline generation like @roadrash99 is saying, satisfying the voters, personal glory, even the interests of the country he's the president of. Truth is a very distant priority. So I won't be surprised if there are more twists and turns to this story.

So NDTV is now asking its readers about information rather than giving information to them? It's a new low, IMO.

Though I'm aware that this article is designed to make uneducated people think that this article is relevant to the question about whether the $21 million went to India or Bangladesh, while not addressing the subject directly. But better news sources have addressed it directly, so we don't need to worry.

Non profits are by law required to have records for their financials. This is not some top secret CIA stuff. No doubt US does that kind of covert stuff too, but they will not do it openly like with USAID. This is just a Trump generated hoax that all the media houses in India and even our government are falling for which is sad to see. Here is one of the annual reports of CEPPS with detailed income and expenses
