The House just rammed through H.R. 7006 on January 14, 2026, with a lopsided 341-79 vote, slapping a $50 billion price tag on foreign aid that’s got President Trump’s America First agenda spinning in its grave. This bloated beast of a bill, masquerading as the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026, is a middle finger to every hardworking American footing the bill for globalist garbage. Trump wanted to slash this slush fund to the bone—his budget blueprint called for a measly $30 billion or so—but these congressional clowns doubled down, hiking it to $50 billion. That’s a 16 percent cut from last year’s giveaway gala, sure, but still $20 billion more than what the boss demanded. And folks, that’s just the tip of the iceberg in this disaster that’s draining our treasury dry while our infrastructure crumbles. Time to dissect this pork parade and expose why it’s a straight-up betrayal of the red wave that put Trump back in the Oval.
Budget increased $20 Billion more than requested. Thanks, swamp…
Foreign Aid Bill: Bridge Financing for the Radical Left? https://t.co/HiQf6wRJO6

The Global Health Grift: $9.4 Billion Down the Drain
First off, this bill shovels $9.4 billion into global health programs—more than double the $3.7 billion Trump requested in his America First Global Health Strategy back in September 2025. We’re talking cash for everything from fighting pandemics in far-flung hellholes to propping up international outfits that couldn’t organize a bake sale without American bucks. Why should never-be-funded slop like this see the light of day? Because it’s a black hole for your tax dollars, funding feel-good initiatives in countries that hate our guts while our own vets wait in VA lines and fentanyl floods our streets. This isn’t charity; it’s chum for corrupt regimes, with zero accountability as the money vanishes into offshore accounts or bloated bureaucracies. Trump’s plan was to axe this excess, focusing on threats that actually hit home, but Congress decided to play doctor to the world instead. Result? We’re subsidizing the next Wuhan lab leak while our hospitals beg for scraps. Disaster rating: Category 5, because it weakens us abroad by making us look like suckers and starves real national security needs at home.
Economic Handouts to Freeloaders: $6.8 Billion in “Investment” Insanity
Then there’s the $6.8 billion dumped into a shiny new “National Security Investment Programs” account for bilateral economic and development assistance. That’s $3.9 billion over Trump’s ask, covering food security, agricultural development, education, women’s empowerment, water projects, and a laundry list of do-gooder dreams in places like Africa and Haiti. Hell, they’re even renewing the African Growth and Opportunity Act through 2028, handing out trade perks like candy. Why the hell should this ever get funded? Because it’s corporate welfare disguised as altruism, propping up economies that compete with ours while we rack up trillions in debt. Think about it—hundreds of millions flowing to Haiti alone, where corruption eats aid like termites on steroids, or to African nations tied to Chinese debt traps. Trump’s vision was peace through strength, not peace through payoffs, but this bill turns us into the world’s ATM. The disaster here? It fuels migration crises by incentivizing dependency instead of self-reliance, all while our own farmers struggle and inner cities rot. We’re borrowing from Beijing to bribe the Third World—brilliant strategy, geniuses.
Military Aid Madness: $3.3 Billion to Israel and Beyond
Don’t get me wrong, standing with allies like Israel against Iranian thugs is America First 101, but even the $3.3 billion in foreign military financing baked into this bill—part of the 2016 deal running through 2028—comes in a package that’s poisoned with extras. Add in the $500 million from the defense budget for anti-missile tech, and it’s $3.8 billion total, which Trump supports. But why bundle it with the rest of this trash? Because it lets the squishes hide behind “bipartisanship” while slipping in aid to sketchy partners elsewhere. This bill realigns some funds toward countering drug trafficking and malign actors, sure, but it’s still a 16 percent overall cut that’s not nearly deep enough. Should never-be-funded elements include the vague “mutually beneficial partnerships” that sound like code for greasing palms in the Western Hemisphere. Disaster unfolds when we tie our hands funding fair-weather friends who turncoat the minute the check clears, diluting our leverage and emboldening enemies like China and Russia who laugh at our largesse.
The Border-Busting Blowback: Fueling Chaos at Home
Here’s where the rubber meets the road—this foreign aid frenzy is a direct hit on America’s gut. While Trump’s unleashing ICE on fraud factories in Minnesota and freezing billions in Medicaid over scams, Congress is wiring cash overseas that could seal our borders or fix our roads. Polls show 62 percent of Americans want foreign aid slashed, per a December 2025 survey, because they get it: We’re $35 trillion in the hole, inflation’s biting, and this bill ignores that to virtue-signal on the world stage. It’s a disaster because it empowers the deep state holdouts in State and USAID, who’ve spent the last year slow-walking Trump’s cuts and now get a fresh infusion to ignore his orders. Expect more impoundments and rescissions as Trump fights back, but why force the battle? This weakens our economy, emboldens adversaries who see us as weak-willed spendthrifts, and betrays the voters who demanded an end to endless giveaways.
The RINO Reckoning: Why This Betrayal Spells Doom
In the end, this bill’s a RINO fever dream, passed with Democrat votes because too many Republicans forgot why we won in 2024. Trump’s doctrine of peace through strength gets lip service, but the reality is billions in savings squandered on blank checks. It’s a disaster for America because it perpetuates the swamp’s cycle: Borrow, spend, repeat, all while our power erodes. Trump should veto this turkey when it hits his desk after the Senate rubber-stamps it next week, forcing a real America First rewrite before the January 30, 2026, funding deadline. Otherwise, we’re just funding our own decline—one foreign boondoggle at a time. Wake up, Congress—the boss is back, and the free ride’s over.
