Dear President Trump:
Please, please, oh pretty please--pull America out of the United Nations. Tell them to take their hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption, and Jew-hatred, to the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland or to the golden deserts of Qatar. Maybe they can house their headquarters more appropriately in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
Let the anti-Western, anti-Israel, and anti-democracy tyrannies pay their own way. Perhaps Europe can either increase their funding for the UN--or pull out as well.
I can think of many better uses for the 17-18 acres in the luxe Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, right on the East River, that the UN headquarters currently occupies. I bet you can too.
I know that the UN is a colorful place that draws, for example, many women of many colors, who are often wearing colorful, native dress. Women come there because they hope to meet other women like themselves, or in the hope of finding employment. These are the members of NGOs which have absolutely no power whatsoever. But coming to Manhattan and speaking there looks good on their resumes, and it is also a way for them to mix with glamorized folk, get invited to yet another conference, impress their families.
Oh, what a good idea the UN once was! Read Australian-American, Shirley Hazzard, on how it had already failed its mission by the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Read her excellent short stories, based on her time as a clerical employee at the UN ("People in Glass Houses), and her superb non-fiction titles about the UN: "Defeat of an Ideal" (1973) and "Countenance of Truth" (1990).
I once also worked at the UN and saw, with my own naked eyeball, the sexual harassment and even rape that was rampant among some high-ranking employers.....

How dare those “wimmens of da color” put on cloth that makes them look like colorful butterflies flittering through the U.N. seeking employment or a “significant other.” Phonies all.
💯%.
Good letter. This is the ONLY president we’ll have in my lifetime that will even consider the espoused position. May others in his sphere bring the letter to his attention.
If we pull out we lose veto power.
Maybe I’ll write a letter to Trump too.
Many years ago, I was invited to spend a day at the UN by a friend who worked there. I was given a tour of the building and then we had lunch in the delegates’ dining room. There I saw $$$$$ being spent on suits and watches that sold for many more thousands on delegates who represented countries that had starving people and unpaved roads in their capitol cities.
Off with their heads! Before they make any more “policies” we have to abide by.
I have been opposed to the UN almost since childhood. The very notion of a world super government is antithetical to the US Constitution and our form of government. The League of Nations was but one of several betrayals by Wilson, and its bastard stepchild, the UN, is just a bigger version. I hate the UN with a passion.
If the US pulls out, the UN becomes irrelevant and underfunded. The League of Nations failed to gain US membership. Where is it now?
Veto power? Lol. Over what? Make-believe laws?
If we leave the U.N. (and, pleasepleaseplease, kick their corrupt butts out of our country), the U.N. no longer exists.
WIN!
Is there a Petition somewhere for the plan to toss them out of the building and the United States and defund/delete/dispose of this useless blob ?
US aús UN UN aús US!!!
Don’t speak logic to people who do everything on emotion…this is sarcasm
Perhaps we should create a non-Muslim international organization to blunt the jihad that is coming from certain OIC countries.
MEGA DITTO’S !!!
Eastern Minorities Alliance, with a nice acronym like those international types like: EMA.
You can also have Eastern Slavic Alternative Union, or ESAU, instead of all this clamoring to join NATO. Poland and Ukraine would be the anchor countries.
EMA, ESAU are both nice. ESAU for the biblically inclined.
Not threatening to Russia, and designed for mutual protection of the former satellites and republics of the defunct Soviet Union from megalomaniacs looking to restore the former “glory” of that empire.
NATO is a western European construct of the Cold War, and like Western Europe nowadays, an ineffective bureaucracy that can’t even defend itself from invasion by hostile foreigners. Ukraine should give it up as a bad job, and Poland and Lithuania should leave it, and instead form ESAU.
