“For more than 12 years, Nicholas Enrich worked at USAID, the United States
Agency for International Development, rising to become one of the agency's top
global health officials. Then, in a matter of weeks, he watched as the Trump
administration and Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE)
dismantled the six-decade-old agency responsible for delivering American
foreign aid around the world.

Enrich documented the experience in his book Into the Wood Chipper: A
Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID
. He
joined Current Affairs editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson to discuss what
happened behind the scenes, and its devastating consequences.”

Via Joyce Donahue, who wrote "I think we all knew this was bad at the time but
we didn’t realize exactly how bad."
