Hopefully Trump told him to kiss Bibi’s @$$ if he wanted US support.

>>Trump has talked of cutting America’s contribution but hasn’t taken any action yet.<<

Why hasn’t he cut UN funding yet? What’s the hold up here?

Let’s see, just within the last week or so:

NATO is no longer obsolete.
Dreamers won’t be deported.
Still hasn’t cut UN funding.
No money for the wall in this year’s budget.
NeoCon foreign policy is a total go.
Yellen is A-ok.
China no longer a currency manipulator.
Meeting with PLO.
Still haven’t moved embassy to Jerusalem.

Hard to trust people who say one thing then do the opposite.

Still not 100 days and there are lots of RINOs (no such thing as “Neocons” really; that’s what they are) to outmaneuver. I’ll stay in wait-and-see mode for now.

Good grief. He’s just getting started and he can’t do most of that stuff. Congress is the only group who can. Also Reagan did nothing his first few years. Give him a chance.

Which one of these betrayed campaign promises requires action by Congress:

NATO is no longer obsolete.
Dreamers won’t be deported.
Still hasn’t cut UN funding.
No money for the wall in this year’s budget.
NeoCon foreign policy is a total go.
Yellen is A-ok.
