Cutting the US to size

Phenomenal news today - if this plays out, a long time dream of mine (almost) would come true.

Trump indicates that he wants to cut back SIGNIFICANTLY on or contribution to the UN and other leeches (my word for them).

Kick the UN out of NYC - ideally.

How the BLEEP do I edit the subject line?

My f-ing phone idiotically changed "UN" to "US"

I like it. You shouldn't be giving away your money if you're unable to pay your own bills.

Yep, being $20 trillion in the hole should trigger some cuts. Additionally, many of these organizations have anti-US agendas.

I'm glad he still seems to be following through with what he campaigned on

Been a dream of mine as well. I'd like to see the foreign dignitaries escorted off the premises, lol. It's a party of the richest, most powerful people in the world looking out for their own best interest.

These NGOs wreak havoc everywhere in the world - they prop up kleptocracies, distort local economies, impose a bureaucratic non-entrepreneurial big government way of thinking world-wide. If you've ever been to Africa and seen what the NGOs do... they're disastrous. Remove tariffs, quotas, import taxes from those nations and let them prosper as free markets instead.

That approach of course deprives do-gooder liberals from having their artificial taxpayer-funded place in the spotlight...

Go Trump!!!

Force the UN to relocate to Nebraska, Montana, or Wyoming. They can sell the NYC offices and set up an endowment for themselves like any other not-for-profit.
