Didn’t Trump promise to end both the Russia Ukrainian war and the Israeli Palestinian war on day one with just a couple of phone calls?

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
