U2 frontman Bono claimed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast the Trump administration’s disbandment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was responsible for some 300,000 associated deaths.
Host Rogan and Elon Musk were quick to disabuse the Irish singer of his mass-casualty claim.
“This will f— you off,” Bono warned, claiming tens of thousands of tons of food are “rotting” in warehouses from Djibouti to Houston because of recent USAID cuts and those running the warehouses have been let go, as FOX News writer Jasmine Baehr reported.
“What is that? That’s not America, is it?”
Rogan responded.
“They’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater,” he said while adding there were aid groups that delivered good work the USAID system has been riddled with corruption and needed to go.
“For sure, it was a money laundering operation. For sure, there was no oversight. … Trillions that are unaccounted for.”

The only reason Bono is bringing the topic up is because he most likely has a foundation funded by USAID. He’s been stealing money from us for years.

He’s a hypocrite -Bono’s charity, ONE, faced criticism in 2010 after it was revealed that only about 1% of the collected funds were given to charity. In 2008, the organization took in $14,993,873 in donations, of which only $184,732 was distributed to charity

To their ‘NGO’s’ that includes salaries for themselves and their friends and relatives . Some 10 cents go to the real cause. And once in a while they arrive for photo ops and press and pet them on the head and smile. Prove me wrong
Bono looks like a gay granny with his long hair and glasses and earrings.
