President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to cut off U.S. funding to countries that support a resolution criticizing his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” he said, alluding to U.S. aid.

The president strongly supported U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley who said Tuesday that the United States “will be taking names” of countries that vote in favor of a General Assembly resolution Thursday declaring that Jerusalem’s status can be changed only by direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

“For all these nations, they take our money and then vote against us. They take hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions of dollars and then they vote against us,” Trump told reporters at a Cabinet meeting in Washington with Haley sitting nearby. “We’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us.”

In a letter to over 180 of the 193 U.N. member states and an even tougher tweet Tuesday, Haley hinted at possible U.S. retaliation, but Trump’s comments made clear to recipients of U.S. assistance that billions of dollars could be at stake.

Ain’t in so? I practically worship Ronald Maximus Reagan, but I have to say he may be bumped to 2nd place behind President Trump. I have never witnessed such courage in a politician, nay, statesman (since Churchill was before my time).

You may be tempted to say, “Please, please, it’s too much winning, we can’t take it any more.”

I was just watching a documentary today about Churchill’s Iron Curtain Speech. And now he was pretty much ignored, but history proved him right.

And now we have Communists in our government.

But thank God we have President Trump.

Erdogan, the dictator of Turkey, knows about intimidation. His body guards even beat up Americans on our soil!

I only voted for McCain because I liked Palin and did not vote for Romney. Abstained. So happy the path for Trump was paved. Praise God.

God I love this man! Never in a million years did I think I’d live to see a president as great as Trump. Never.

Ditto. It's great to be alive to have seen this greatness, I was thinking earlier.
