(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) President Donald Trump pulled the plug on American taxpayers forking over $50 million earmarked for condom distribution in Gaza, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Tuesday during her first briefing.
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and the Office of Management and Budget identified the Biden administration’s move to waste millions sending condoms to the Middle East just shortly before the plan was set in motion, according to Leavitt.
🚨 "There was about to be $50 MILLION taxpayer dollars that went out the door TO FUND CONDOMS IN GAZA! That is a PREPOSTEROUS waste of taxpayer money!"

“DOGE and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza,” Leavitt told reporters from the podium. “That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
Trump shut down all federal spending via executive order, which Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer flipped out about by calling it “a dagger in the heart of average American families.”
Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested safe sex was not a priority for members of Hamas who make “condom bombs.”
“Condoms cost a couple pennies when you buy them in bulk,” Watters said. “You can buy 500 million condoms with that kind of cash. That’s enough to give every guy in Gaza 1,000 condoms.”
Hamas wants free condoms to make bombs and America’s been supplying them. We were just about to spend $50 MILLION on condoms on Gaza— enough to give every guy there 1,000 condoms. That’s a lot of safe sex and even more bombs… pic.twitter.com/JduAhVVHbV

You may be wondering why Gaza would need $50 million worth of condoms.
It’s because they use condoms as weapons to fly explosives into Israel.
Biden was going to fund terrorism.

Watters said the U.S. was egging on “both sides of the war” by funding Israel’s Iron Dome and Hamas’s makeshift bomb-making. X influencer Libs of TikTok expressed the same view, adding that “Biden was going to fund terrorism.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, took to social media to express his outrage at Leavitt’s reveal. He wrote on X, “Why was the U.S. government about to send $50 million for condoms in Gaza? If we stuck to the Constitution, this crap wouldn’t happen.”

The Biden administration earmarked FIFTY MILLI ON DOLLARS to buy condoms in Gaza. You read that right.
As if impregnating goats in Gaza is a concern of American taxpayers! pic.twitter.com/B68j9h4nkK

Still can’t get over the fact that Democrats had earmarked $50M to buy condoms for Gaza. There’s only like 2 million people there.
The math is not mathing. Money laundering?
Think about how much they have to hate us to spend our money on this crap. 🤨🧐pic.twitter.com/Fi4BrFRFAw

Actor James Woods said “impregnating goats in Gaza” should not be a concern of American taxpayers. Meanwhile, activist Robby Starbuck suggested the Biden administration was laundering taxpayer money.
“There’s only like 2 million people there. The math is not mathing. Money laundering?” Starbuck wrote. “Think about how much they have to hate us to spend our money on this crap.”
