1. This administration is driven by several things, but hate, ego and greed seem to be at the forefront.

Of course the hatred for anyone black or brown, and/or with certain religious or cultural background is obvious.
The self-centered super ego is also obvious, as is the intense greed.
Add to that a "leader" who is terribly insecure and fearful; one who lashes out at anyone who crosses him in any way, and you have a recipe for disaster.
His insecurity requires he pick people for key positions in government who aren't prepared to do their jobs in any way, and are so incompetent that they could never challenge his "leadership". In other words, grateful, bewildered toadies; people who always wanted to run something, but would never get the chance on their own.

It was inevitable that USAID would be destroyed, as will any program that helps people who Trump doesn't like, or are perceived as unable or unwilling to be useful to him.
The pain, suffering, death, and destruction that swirls around Trump is simply an emanation from the deep darkness at the core of his being. He'll tear the nation down and "rebuild" it in his image and likeness; wrecking or ruining anything he can't alter to fit his vision. The man is perverse, but those who support him are even worse. They feed off his perversion, and use it to further their own desires.

Jamaica is just another piece of collateral damage in the hellish world of Trump.
