In a leaked conversation among cabinet members, there was a discussion about the White House’s proposal to codify cuts to USAID and public broadcasting, with the majority supporting the move as a way to streamline the budget and bolster defense spending, while also acknowledging the potential impact on public opinion and the individuals relying on these services.
“Leaked Signal Conversation: Cabinet Discusses DOGE Cuts and Unexpected Topics”
John Ratcliffe (8:14 am ET): Gentlemen, Lady, the White House is suggesting we codify DOGE cuts to USAID and public broadcasting. Opinions?
Michael Waltz (8:20 am ET): Codification of such cuts would streamline our budgeting, bolstering our defense spending. 💪
JD Vance (8:25 am ET): Agree with Waltz. Though, we mustn’t underestimate the impact. As the cleverest in the room (modesty aside), I believe this will effectively shift the public narrative around our spending habits.
Stephen Miller (8:31 am ET): Cuts are necessary, but we must remember whose throats we are cutting; mostly liberal media and overseas handouts. No sympathy here.
Pete Hegseth (8:35 am ET): 💪🇺🇸 I second Miller. Cut away, gents! Let’s use those big words to impress!
Marco Rubio (8:37 am ET): As the sane voice amidst the sea of… spirited sentiment here, let’s remember that some people genuinely rely on these services. Is this the right step?
Tulsi Gabbard (8:39 am ET): I love the idea! Russia’s been doing this for years. Look how strong they are now!
Scott Bessent (8:44 am ET): The impact on the markets is a consideration. We should tread carefully.
Susie Wiles (8:48 am ET): Strategically it’s an interesting move… but don’t forget how this could play out in the media.
Steve Witkoff (8:56 am ET): As long as we’re being strategic, right? 🙏
Joe Kent (9:01 am ET): I agree with Rubio. This is a drastic move. And Tulsi, remember, we’re not Russia.
JD Vance (9:06 am ET): But Kent, we can learn from strong nations. Europe languishes because of their liberal spending habits.
Tulsi Gabbard (9:10 am ET): Exactly, JD! Marco, maybe we can discuss this further over borscht? 😉
Marco Rubio (9:14 am ET): Tulsi, I prefer Cuban cuisine, but I appreciate the offer. Anyhow, let’s stay focused.
Stephen Miller (9:20 am ET): I say, let the liberal media scramble. Europe as well. Their dependency should not dictate our policy.
Pete Hegseth (9:22 am ET): Fact bomb drop. Boom! 💣💥🔥
John Ratcliffe (9:25 am ET): Noted, everyone. Incoming message from POTUS. Let’s discontinue this chat and reconvene later.
