The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has condemned the policies of US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, equating them to bigotry.
Zeid Raad al-Hussein did not mention Mr Trump by name, but he singled out the businessman's support of torture and his policies towards Muslims.
"Bigotry is not proof of strong leadership," Mr Hussein said.

Maybe Trump would get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

Neither is allowing the destruction of thousands of years of Christian Middle East history.
Trump annoys all the right people, it seems.

Evict those in the UN building. Give them 2 weeks. Turn the building into into a veterans medical center

Man I love it! Should I have a TRUMP rally with chalking in front of the Wahhabi-sponsored Arabic Immersion school for PK-2 grade kiddos in Ted’s hometown in Houston?
To: Innovative
Trump should take this and do a cartwheel..having the UN hate you is a HUGE endorsement..how nice of the UN to take time off from hating Jews to go after Trump, now they can go back to what they do best, kiss some Muslim Jihadist behind
To: Innovative
Another feather in Trump’s cap. Screw the UN.

Agreed! The lines are being drawn aren't they? Trump has really shown us just how deep the DNC/RNC/UN/NATO ties run, how much they HATE America, and why we MUST vote him in!
To: Innovative
In before the TDS circus sings the praises of Zeid Raad al-Hussein.

Yup, another strong endorsement. The louder these freaks scream the more convinced I become Trump is the man to lead us out with a bang instead of a whimper.
This is not against Trump. It is in fact for him.
You see, I don’t think it makes a difference who is elected this year. We are going down, the die is cast. It is only a matter of time sooner or later. A pubican win just delays the failure. We can’t pay our debts and the illegals have over run the country and will out produce us all in 20 years. We will be a minority in our own land by then.

A line on his list of things to do should be to have all the UN crooks pay their parking tickets (just to piss them off) and the UN building evacuated by July 4th 2017.
Anyone still in the building after that date will be arrested for tresspassing and subsequently water boarded daily for one week.
