    RUSH EXCERPT:

    KLEIN: "Past few weeks feel a little bit jarring, that‘s because President Trump himself was once a vocal proponent of usaid and its programs. And I think no one tells that story better than Ivanka Trump, his daughter and former senior adviser. Now back in 2019, just to underscore how important this was, the president talked about usaid as a key piece of his State of the Union address. He announced plans to launch w GDP, the women‘s global development and prosperity initiative, under the umbrella of usaid, spearheaded by his daughter, Ivanka Trump. Now, if it was a priority for Ivanka, it was a priority for the president. And this program w GDP, it did things aimed at boosting women‘s economic empowerment abroad, things like closing the digital divide, ending food insecurity and providing capital to women entrepreneurs looking to start small businesses.”
