Arrr, matey! On Saturday, Cap'n Trump be slashin’ the budget o’ Voice o’ America, sendin’ all hands ashore! Just after Congress tossed 'n turned with the latest treasure map, he ordered his crew to trim the sails o’ the agencies to naught but the law's bare bones! Aye!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of the current affairs on the high seas of politics! Just the other day, the raucous captain known as President Donald Trump, in a fit o’ whimsy, decided to hoist the sails and cut the riggin’ of the Voice of America and other pro-democracy vessels. Aye, the poor crew of the VOA found themselves walkin’ the plank, as all hands were put on leave!Now, picture this: as the moon shone bright on the eve of Congress passin’ their latest treasure map — or what they call a funding bill — our captain Trump, with a hearty chuckle, commanded his crew to trim the sails and reduce the functions of several agencies to the bare bones, like a scallywag with a jolly roger flyin’ high but no doubloons in his chest. Aye, this included the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the ship that houses the Voice of America, like a treasure chest locked tight with no key!
So here we be, shipmates! With the winds of change blowin’ through the political waters, who knows what treasures or troubles lie ahead? Keep yer spyglasses sharp, for the seas be treacherous and full of surprises, just like a pirate’s life! Yarrr!
