On July 18, a mild, overcast night in Nairobi, Kenya, a team of President Donald Trumpâs top foreign aid advisers ducked into a meeting room at the Tribe Hotel, their luxury accommodations in the cityâs diplomatic quarter, for a private dinner. The visitors from Washington included Marcus Thornton, a former Border Patrol agent known for a series of public lawsuits against the Biden administrationâs COVID-19 vaccine mandate; Kenneth Jackson, a former oil executive who had done a stint in government under the first Trump administration; and Laken Rapier, whoâd previously managed communications for the city of Fort Worth, Texas. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/12/18/inside-the-trump-administrations-man-made-hunger-crisis/
