Every year, Sen. Rand Paul celebrates Festivus by releasing his book on government waste, such as the funding of studies of shrimp on treadmills. President Donald Trump gave a press conference Tuesday (a president who gives press conferences?) and rattled off a list of government waste. 

"25 million promote biodiversity... in Colombia for something that nobody ever heard of."

"$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants."

"$42 million to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda."

"$21 million for voter turnout in India."

And then there's Ukraine, which says it no longer feels supported by the U.S.

It didn't take DOGE to root out all of these wasteful programs. We've known about them for a while and just kept funding them.

Yes, USAID didn't pay for that transgender Colombian opera … that money came directly from the State Department.

We do too.
