The United States is half-way through a three-year term on the main U.N. rights body and had long threatened to quit if it was not reformed, accusing the 47-member Geneva-based body of being anti-Israel.

Reuters reported last week that activists and diplomats said talks with the United States on reforms had failed to meet Washington’s demands, suggesting that the Trump administration would quit.

Washington’s pullout would be the latest U.S. rejection of multilateral engagement after it pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and the Iran nuclear deal.

That’s a good first step. Follow it up (immediately) by pulling out of the UN completely.

Then arrest every one of the “diplomats” that have broken the law. Throw the rest out of the country.

Then bulldoze the building. Then build a Trump hotel

DJT is systematically dismantling the globalist yoke that was placed around our necks by the Bushes, Bill Clinton, Obama and the "conservatives" at the National Review."

Trump is a gift from the Almighty.

Yippee! A fine FIRST STEP at least.
Congrats PDJT!
Now, we need to extricate USA out of the entire UnitedNazis Organization, .... quickly!
To HELL with it (which will begin when we evict them from that prime NYC real estate, let that entire nest of enemy spies, moles, and saboteurs go to Iran or Saudi Arabia or...to HELL with it!)

Hopefully this will be accompanied by a commensurate reduction in U.N. funding.

Stay in the UN. Move the UN out of the US. Pay the average of the rest of the Security Council Members.

Follow it up (immediately) by pulling out of the UN completely.

Follow that up by escorting every U.N. "diplomat" to the shore of the New York River, point them all towards home and tell 'em to swim for their lives.

Shoot any of the bastards that try coming back to shore, then level the U.N. building.
