Trump says USAID is run by 'radical left lunatics,' vows to 'get them out'

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that USAID, Washington's $42.8 billion a year overseas aid and development agency, was "run by radical lunatics" and that he was considering its future.

The United States Agency for International Development has "been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we're getting them out... and then we'll make a decision (on its future)," Trump said.
