Trump is tearing it down because it was weaponized against him.
Of course it is productive that Trump abolishes USAID, including NED, which functioned as US regime change tools under Obama and Biden, and whose task was to convince an ignorant US and European population that the destruction of Libya, Syria and the support to the coup neo-nazis in Kiev was completely fine.
