WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews)-In a refreshing display of fiscal responsibility, President Trump took a bold stand during a recent press conference by reading aloud a list of outrageously wasteful spending proposals. In an unscripted moment that resonated with supporters, the President meticulously highlighted government expenditures that he described as completely out of touch with American priorities.

Trump didn’t hold back as he questioned a $10 million allocation for circumcisions in other countries—money that could be better used to benefit hardworking American families. He then dismissed a proposal asking for $520 million for environmental consulting, arguing that such exorbitant spending only benefits bureaucrats and special interests rather than addressing the real issues affecting our nation.
The President continued to expose more shocking proposals. One of the items on his list called for $25 million to promote biodiversity in Colombia—an initiative that, as Trump noted, seemed to come out of left field with no clear benefit for American taxpayers. Equally baffling was a $40 million project intended to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, which Trump condemned as a misguided and costly distraction from domestic priorities.
The President took aim at a $42 million effort to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda, questioning why our money should be spent overseas on projects with dubious outcomes. The final straw was a $21 million plan to boost voter turnout in India—another proposal that Trump labeled as a baffling misuse of funds.
Supporters of President Trump applaud his fearless questioning of these outlandish spending proposals. “He’s finally shining a light on the government’s misplaced priorities,” one admirer commented. “It’s about time someone in charge stood up for the American taxpayer.”
Critics have long accused the government of spending extravagantly on projects that do little to benefit American citizens. In contrast, President Trump’s clear, no-nonsense approach during the press conference reaffirmed his commitment to fiscal discipline and accountability. His impassioned critique resonated with voters tired of bureaucratic excess and those who believe that every dollar should work for the people of the United States.
As debates over government spending continue, Trump’s direct challenge to these proposals has sparked a renewed conversation about accountability and proper allocation of resources. For many, his actions serve as a powerful reminder that strong leadership means keeping the interests of American families at the forefront, and not being afraid to call out wasteful expenditures wherever they may be found.
Cutting waste full spending is fine but then using these funds to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy is not.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Maybe that’s why they’re starting with cutting the foreign circumcision programs.
