My involvement with the United Nations began with a letter, which I will give to the committee, from the Ambassador to the United Nations from Sweden. And it's a long letter, and a very beautifully written letter, and essentially, he read an article about the success of Trump World Tower, which is the building that I can show you, right here, which is, as you can see, very, very substantially taller than the United Nations, bigger than the United Nations. And he read an article in the New York Times, saying that the building cost approximately $300 million dollars to build. So, he wrote me a letter, and ultimately called me, and said is it possible that that building cost $300 million dollars, because it just seems so much bigger, and so much better, and so much more expensive, and so much more luxurious. And how could you have done that for $300 million dollars, when, at that time, Senator, they were talking about $1.5 billion dollars to renovate the United Nations. And this was around December of 2000. And I said well, there's only two reasons. Either gross incompetence, or something far worse than that. And you know what the something is, and that's corruption. Because there's absolutely no way that that building could have cost $1.5 billion dollars to build.
no wonder former Oklahoma senator Tom Coburn was supporting Cruz.
Trump shamed him during this testimony to congress by pointing out how much money congress/gummit is p'ing down the drain.
awesome.
thanx for dusting this classic off.

This follows right along with him wanting to cut out government waste in last night’s speech. January can’t come soon enough.
Thank you, I don’t recall reading this before. Wonderful. :)
I never read it either. Fantastic.
Did revolting UN ever do it, I wonder.
My wife is currently watching this. Trump! Bttp
