U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor Thursday of the United Nations resolution rejecting Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Trump also expressed support for a letter sent by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, in which she warned member states against supporting the resolution.

"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us," Trump said. "Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care."

This, this here is exactly what we have been missing.
When Trump wakes up in the morning, he isn’t thinking about how he can please his corporate paymasters and the Marxist elite.
His sole focus is to FIGHT FOR AMERICAN INTERESTS.
How many presidents over the last century were geneuinely of the same mindset ?
Be mindful he did not say he’d cut funds....he implied it which gives him wiggle room.
This is what happens when you have BRASS BALLS the size of a beach ball.
Only way to make it better would be to announce that developers have made offers on the precious ground that houses the UN and given the fact that most of the people in the place, hate the US and it is a “world” body, it should be someplace like the Hague or Brussels. Give them all a chance to live amongst the mess they’ve made of Europe. So they should all start looking for places to move to.
That would send some of them diving off the rooftop, into the East River. Haley wouldn’t have to say a word from that point on, just give a stern look and they’ll be voting whatever way the President wants them to.
Lol !!! Love that video to !
How do you post a gif or video on comments?
‘Bout effing time
Not that simple.....and he didn’t threaten..he simply stated they take lots of money from us.....which is true.....and that he’d be watching the votes....also true....saying the Us will save alot isn’t a threat.....let them take the implication as they want.
Well, because China will if we won’t? Would it be okay with you if China became an overnight desired guest in all these nations?
Believe me, nations are always looking for a little more cash, and China will be plenty willing.
Having a working relationship with nations is important.
The thing we have to do, is make sure we get something in return.
That’s the one!
It is about time we use the leverage that we already have in place.
Can you make it a GIF?

I’ll believe it when I see it. First start with the Palestinians. Oh wait, they aren’t a country.
So many Christmas presents to the American people! What a President!!!
Throw the UN out of the US.
Sell the building.
When our nation started such payments were called tribute. And it was paid to reduce trouble with other nations like the Barbary Pirates. Using nuanced diplomatic speech it's now called aid.
Put the embassy in East Jerusalem.
This president is one in a billion. He has so much courage.
