This is the junkie mentality. First they will plead, then they will get angry and threaten retaliation.

The US military protects everything in the world.
The US taxpayers pay for everything in the world.

Trump is the only US president to realize that we can reshape the entire world by using (or not using) or military and our money.

Trump to Australia: "No more money for your universities"

Australians to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: "Do something! Respond to Trump!"

A memo sent by the US office of managament and budget to an Australian university project on January 27 and retrieved by The Guardian, declared financial assistance for the researchers was a waste of taxpayer money and explained federal spending priority would go towards “the will of the American people”.

“Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending ‘wokeness’ and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again,” the memo said.

“The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.”

“Trump is the only US president to realize that we can reshape the entire world by using (or not using) or military and our money.”

Isn’t that the truth? Every past president in my 73 years looks like a wimp and pussy compared to President DJT. Even Regan was nowhere near this bold.

The cut of funding could leave a $600 million hole in the efforts of Australian researchers, with the US the largest research partner of Australia.

The surveys they received asked several questions including whether the researchers had received funding from China, and if their university had recognised only two sexes - male and female.


Wonder what the other questions were, didn’t make the fake news.

In the article it says “the cut of funding could leave a $600 million hole in the efforts of Australian researchers”. According to taxfoundation.org the average US taxpayer pays $13,890 a year and the bottom 50% of taxpayers pay $822 a year. It would take 43,196 average taxpayers or 729,927 taxpayers in the bottom 50% for this hand out to a foreign country. Denver's population is 716,000.

If nothing else the American taxpayers are learning just how much we are supporting things in other nations.

We are going in debt to give money to someone else. This has to stop.
