I'm tired of people accepting the idea of foreign aid because it's less than 1% of the US budget.

Both liberals and conservatives make this argument.

Cut all aid to Palestine and increase Israel aid. He already cut all aid in february but he can do it again so we can see Tlaib and Omars heads explode.

He should even photo op giving Bibi a huge check like a lottery winner.

Cut off all aid to the Muslim slave-trading countries of Nigeria, Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Mauritania. Save $1.5 billion per year. Then, see if the Commiecrats and media try to oppose the cut.

Cut all those who don’t help control illegal immigration to zero. Cut Muzzie-supporters to zero. Cut everything else by 10% and apply all the savings to Build The Wall.

America First.

I’m pretty sure there is a Federal Judge somewhere who will issue an injunction agains this. Keep the cuts from actually happening for years...

Rescind it all. Mail all 300 million working/taxpaying citizens a check for $14 and move on to the next.

Trump says he'll decide on foreign aid cuts within a week

A good time to wean the whole damn world.

He should stop it all and reconsider once the wall is built. If they need to find the money for the wall, this is the perfect place. America first. If there’s no money to secure your own border, there’s no money to take care of other countries.

Am I wrong to describe China as America’s adversary? If not, then why is the USA still sending them 1.3 billion?

Reduce the amount of aid to each country factored by the number of illegal immigrants

Cut it all to $0.00. All of the aid goes to zero. Make deals based on trade deals and strategy.

Aid stunts economies. Look at Rwanda. What poor countries need are good governance and trade policies.

We should pay foreign countries just enough to cover the expenses for the embassies we maintain there, fire, police protection, etc.
