The Trump administration has ordered USAID employees to empty their desks within 15-minute time slots.
That’s it. Get in, grab their stuff and get out.
Just another reminder to these people that true leadership has finally arrived and he doesn’t take kindly to people wasting this country’s money.
Also, workers are escorted by federal officers to collect their belongings.
This marks a swift end to their roles in international aid.
Play time is over.

NBC News reports:
U.S. Agency for International Development workers — many in tears — carted away belongings through cheering crowds in a final visit to their now-closed headquarters Thursday as the Trump administration’s rapid dismantling of the congressionally authorized agency moved into its final stages.
Notices sent out in mass mailings this week are terminating over 90% of USAID’s contracts for humanitarian and development work around the world, and the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a judge’s order requiring the administration to release billions of dollars in foreign aid.
The administration notified most USAID staffers in recent days that they were on leave or being fired, then gave thousands of those who worked in the Washington headquarters 15-minute time slots to clear out their desks under the escort of federal officers.
Some staffers wept as they carried out grocery bags and suitcases with what was left from their life’s work.
“Heartbreaking,” 25-year-old Juliane Alfen said, carrying a small bag with a stuffed rabbit sticking out. Like hundreds of colleagues, Alfen received a form notice Monday that her firing “was in the best interest of government.”
“I felt like we made a difference,” Alfen said. “To see everything disappearing before our eyes in a matter of weeks is very scary.”
USAID has been one of the biggest targets of a broad campaign by President Donald Trump and cost-costing chief Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to slash the size of the federal government.
Their actions have left only a small fraction of USAID employees on the job, slashed $60 billion in assistance overseas and upended decades of U.S. policy that foreign aid helps American interests abroad by stabilizing other countries and building alliances.
Supporters stood by, letting those fired USAID workers know that they’re proud of them for wasting countless millions.
So brave, so stunning.

Amazing how the media still gaslights for USAID when we’ve all seen their grift get exposed.
Some people were upset over giving them 15 min.
They thought they should get zero minutes and grab their stuff from the street.
This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.Just saw someone write this “USAID fires staff, gives 15 mins to grab stuff—HQ shuttered!
Did you vote for this?”
My answer is surely NO!
Why did they get 15 minutes? They should collect their shit from the street pic.twitter.com/SrrYAxVpq6— VetUSAGuy (@NE_VET_GoArmy) February 27, 2025
