$50 million in condoms to the Gaza Strip. It was an outrageous figure that seemed utterly incomprehensible… because, as it turns out, it’s not true.
Like, at all!Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!After nearly 10 years of Tr*mp, it’s hard to be surprised by any of the lies that emanate from his mouth.
But “$50 million for condoms in Gaza” represents a new outrageous low, akin to his “they’re eating the pets!” nonsense.For anybody who can read a spreadsheet–or has any idea about how much condoms cost–the figure never passed muster.
Jeremy Konyndyk, who oversaw the US Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) COVID portfolio under Joe Biden, pointed out the USAID procures condoms for $0.05 cents a piece.“$50m would be ONE BILLION condoms,” he posted on social media.“What’s going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can’t read govt spreadsheets,” he added.So look – on the "Gaza condoms" thing.USAID procures condoms for around $0.05 apiece.$50m would be ONE BILLION condoms.What's going is here is NOT a billion condoms for Gaza.What's going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can't read govt spreadsheets.Ah yes, the bros at DOGE, Elon Musk’s libertarian wet dream.
