For decades, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has used YOUR money to push globalist agendas abroad—while undermining America First at home.
Now Trump is moving to END IT once and for all.
2/ The NED was created in the Cold War to project “soft power” against Communism.
Now it IS the Communism.
❌ Attacking nationalist leaders abroad
❌ Labeling populists “authoritarians”
❌ Even branding TRUMP himself as a threat.
It's a Democrat op, paid for with your tax $$$
3/ Price tag? 💸 $315 MILLION a year.
Your tax dollars fund groups publishing things like “The Problem with Whiteness,” “Global LGBTQI+ awareness,” and unionizing foreign workers to punish U.S. companies.
This is not “democracy promotion.” It’s woke anti-Americanism.
4/ Congress tried to cut NED’s funding earlier this year.
Lobbyists swooped in.
Backroom deals were struck.
And—surprise—the $315M was magically restored.
Taxpayers lose, swamp creatures win.
5/ But Trump doesn’t play by DC’s old rules.
Instead, he’s using a rare maneuver called a pocket rescission—the first in 50 YEARS—to cancel $5 BILLION in foreign aid and globalist projects.
That includes funding tied to NED.
Last night, President Trump CUT ANOTHER $4.9 BILLION in foreign aid—using a bold maneuver that bypasses Congress.
It's called a "pocket rescission".
American tax dollars will no longer bankroll globalist schemes. America First is back. 🧵
