Comedian and conservative commentator Shawn Farash has once again demonstrated his sharp political instincts by proposing a simple yet effective solution to the Supreme Court’s ruling against Trump’s USAID cuts: eliminate the agency altogether.
On X, Farash laid out his reasoning in a viral post, pointing out that USAID was created through an executive order by President John F. Kennedy. That means it can just as easily be dismantled with the stroke of a pen by President Trump. “Problem solved. THANKS SCOTUS!” he quipped, turning what seemed like a setback into an opportunity.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration must release $2 billion in foreign aid that had already been allocated. The decision, backed by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett alongside the court’s liberal justices, was seen as a blow to Trump’s broader effort to rein in foreign spending. However, Farash’s proposal flips the script entirely—why fight over individual funding battles when Trump could simply eliminate USAID and take full control over foreign aid policy?
For years, conservatives have argued that USAID has become a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy funneling taxpayer money overseas with little oversight. Farash’s idea taps into a longstanding frustration with Washington’s habit of prioritizing foreign interests over American needs.
This is why Farash has gained such a dedicated following—his mix of humor and policy insight cuts through the noise. Rather than dwelling on the Supreme Court’s ruling, he’s offering a bold and straightforward fix. And if Trump takes his advice, USAID’s days may be number
