The heated exchange began when Hannity scrolled through a graphic listing the Trump administration’s supposed accomplishments, particularly focusing on «waste, fraud, and abuse» in the government, reported HuffPost. As the conversation shifted to the US Agency for International Development’s budget, which stands at around $40 billion, Carville quickly did the math, noting that it represents only 0.014% of the total $6 trillion federal budget.
