US President Donald Trump has said his administration temporarily halted foreign spending to “look at the scams, dishonesty, waste and abuse that’s taking place in our government for too long”.
That included $50m “sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas”, the president said, repeating a claim made earlier by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“You know what’s happened to them? They’ve used them as a method of making bombs,” Trump said in televised remarks.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) contraceptive funding for 2023 does not list any funding for condoms for the entire Middle East region that year.

This whole administration is going to be nothing but reactions to ridiculous Twitter rumors. I’m just waiting for Trump to declare NASA is a scam because he heard the Earth is flat and there is no “space”.
Trump hates space because in space no-one can hear you ramble incoherently
Sign me up!
Now I’m dying to know how to make a bomb with a condom.
FIrst, fill it with water…
J. Post lies so much, it’s hard to take this seriously… But my mind toys with the idea, regardless.
I wouldn’t doubt that it’s been tried, with some kind of airborne delivery. Whether that delivery made use of condoms or not is questionable, how widespread or successful the attempts have been is unclear.
But it might be technically feasible, though I would not expect condoms to be the best choice.
Necessity is the mother of invention?
You mean there’s actually some truth to this?
Also, bombdom.
I mean, to the extent of using a helium-filled condom as a super-inaccurate delivery device for a very small explosive or smoldering tinder, yes. Balloons, trash bags, plastic dropcloths would all work better.
Better not use a trojan. If you can make a condom into a bomb, there’s a leak and it’s a bad condom.
Me too, tbh
So is this the same excuse they will use when they go to ban contraceptives?
Where does he come up with this shit?
Seriously, that takes a seriously fucked up brain to seriously consider and then say out loud.
I don’t think he does the seriously considering part.
It’ll be so nice when that gabbling imbecile leaves this world. I know he’ll just be replaced by another asshole, but at least we won’t have to hear his whiny voice anymore or his Alzheimers word salad ramblings.
Ah, yes, Palestinians and their dicksplosives. Do we really have this hallucinating fuckhead as a president? Is this what reality is?
Does it physically hurt to be that stupid?
so foreign aid and sales of pagers to israel will also be halted? hmm
