Just another step toward the dismantling of the U.N. MAGA!
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.
So we’re cutting off the corrupt blood suckers who hate us and wish to destroy America? But they might be offended!
Hey UN. This is a new administration. We no longer dis our allies and help our enemies.

Me too! Best vote I ever cast! Bears repeating his words:
“We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” he said, alluding to U.S. aid.
There is a lot to be said for someone who is accustomed to operating with “F—k you” money in the bank.
Absolutely. None of that ultra-dopey Obama “Lead from behind” BS. This is strong leadership. Everything he has accomplished in his year are the results,of that strong leadership.
Love the winning! and this President.
I voted for McCain & Romney, and I’m glad they lost because we got Trump!
Yup, yup, yup. I marvel at his clarity of vision and courage. Nobody is more perfectly suited for the job right now than President Trump.
From a dark cesspool that was Obama,
To the light and logic of Trump!
Damn,,,
This guy Gets It!
