    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.

    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
