The Trump administration is planning to destroy 550 tons of emergency food relief intended for children in impoverished and war-torn regions.

The food assistance that was part of the now-defunct USAID program is set to be incinerated on Thursday, The Atlantic reported, citing sources with knowledge of the government’s plans.

The food comes in the form of high-energy biscuits that are packed with nutritious substances helpful to kids 5 years of age and under. The biscuits are currently being stored in Dubai and were meant to be sent to war- and disaster-ravaged areas. This particular shipment of food was set to go to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Like if Jesus were here, he'd destroy 550 tons of fish too, right? Ask every Christian politician to their face.

That's roughly 25 full trailers of food.

Is this the thing that will truly "make America great again"? Or will I have to see even more of the train wreck continue on? Lol
