Hollywood A-lister and actress Angelina Jolie complained to reporters at the Chopard gala in Cannes, France, about President Donald Trump’s historic cuts to USAID and America’s First foreign policy. The woke actress expressed that Trump’s spending cuts made her “very angry” and “very sick.”
For context, Hollywood actresses have often criticized Trump and advocated for far-left policies from the comfort of their mega-mansions. While this trend is nothing new, Jolie’s remarks prove that the elites are entirely disconnected from regular, hardworking Americans.
Such was shown when Angelina Jolie went on her TDS rant. During a May 14, 2025, appearance, she said, “I think everyone knows how I feel about that. I have I have a lot to say but I don’t think this is really the place, but I have a lot to say. I will be saying much more and I will be traveling through the regions myself. But uh it’s, it’s just so serious. It’s just not, you know — obviously it makes me it, it makes me very angry and very sick.”
Destroying her biased take, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, recently revealed the true nature of USAID spending in the Senate. He stated, “Even with the reforms we put in place, and what we’re suggesting is changes to our foreign aid, we still will provide more foreign aid, more humanitarian support, than the next 10 countries combined, than the entire OECD, and far more than China.”
Emphasizing how little of this aid reaches the people who need it most, Rubio added, “Now look, anytime you undertake reforms of this magnitude that needed to be made, you’re going to have hiccups, and you’re also going to have controversy, but these reforms had to happen at USA ID, 12 cents of every dollar was reaching the recipient,” explaining, “That means that in order for us to get, you know, aid to somebody, we had to spend all this other money supporting this foreign aid industrial complex.”
Providing a strong vision for the future, Trump’s secretary of state declared, ” We’re going to find more efficient ways to deliver aid to people directly, and it’s going to be directed by our regional bureaus, and it’s going to sponsor programs that make a difference, and it’s going to be part of a holistic approach to our foreign policy.”
Calling out the Democrats directly, he explained why these changes are necessary. Rubio continued, “You’re not going to like all the changes, but I want you to know what the intent of the changes are. It is not to dismantle American foreign policy, and it is not to withdraw us from the world, because I just hit 18 countries in 18 weeks. That doesn’t sound like much of a withdrawal.”

Concluding his remarks, Rubio said, “We are engaged in the world, but we’re going to be engaged in a world that makes sense and that’s smart, and that isn’t about saving money. It is about ensuring that we are delivering to our people what they deserve, a foreign policy that makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.”
