USAID employees given 15 minutes to clear out offices

The article strongly implies that the Trump administration is “gutting” USAID, using emotionally charged language and presenting the layoffs as a dismantling rather than a restructuring. It employs biased language by framing the actions in a highly negative light without offering neutral context. The appeal to emotion is evident in descriptions of employees being escorted and given limited time to collect belongings. The loaded question fallacy arises in assuming the actions are unjust without examining possible rationale. Finally, the red herring appears in linking USAID funding cuts to broad global issues like Chinese influence without proving causation.
