Title: Trump Threatens to Cut Foreign Aid to Countries That Vote to Forbid the US from Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's Capital

The good sort of Trumpian: people don't like being played for chumps, and Trump gives voice to that.

"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The US already vetoed this attempt in the Security Council, but now they're having a meaningless vote on it in the General Assembly:

The 193-member U.N. General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday -- at the request of Arab and Muslim countries -- to vote on a draft resolution, which was vetoed by the United States on Monday in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

Nikki Haley is reinforcing Trump's threat.

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a letter to dozens of U.N. states on Tuesday seen by Reuters, warned that Trump had asked her to "report back on those countries who voted against us."

She bluntly echoed that call in a Twitter post: "The U.S. will be taking names."

Meanwhile, the ninnies who cry that #TrumpIsKillingUsAll are, alas, still with us.

Do you remember the three freak-outs recently in which the ninnies claimed Trump was "killing us"?

I do.

Here's Trump's MURDER SPREE in progress:

  1. Forcing the #VulnerablePoor into a THUNDERDOME of JOB OFFERS and CASH BONUSES
  2. Repealed an FCC ruling which progressive hysterics claimed would make FaceBook postings PUNISHABLE BY SPIDERS
  3. Recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, plunging the Middle East into a state of unrest not seen since LAST WEDNESDAY

I'll wait to see if Trump carries through on his excellent threat: "Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care..."

I will be greatly disappointed if he backs off on that !!!

In fact, I say we cut off ALL funds to all of the UN.

Me too. People are predicting he won't actually do some mass cutoff. But he might single some of these countries out and chop some aid just to show them that he isn't afraid to. They called his bluff so now he is obliged to show them that there really will be consequences.

This is Trump's version of the "red line" that 0bama laid down in front of Assad over alleged gas attacks. Once you draw the line in the sand, you look toothless if you don't carry out your threats. I don't see Trump cutting off all aid to all the countries voting us down at the U.N. but he can't afford to look weak like 0bama did.

In fact, I say we cut off ALL funds to all of the UN.

A dream of mine since the Xlinton reign of terror.

One thing that could be done is to downgrade our embassies in some of the smaller nations to legations, which were common up until the postwar period. In our hemisphere nations like Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua could be downgraded to legations. In Europe nations like Estonia, Lithuania, Albania and Montenegro.

Worldwide we could downgrade scores of embassies. Upgrading all of the legations was like an international version of "everyone deserves a medal day." We really do hold the aces, it has been disgusting to see how poorly we've played a winning hand for decades.

One thing I've been wondering is if any of these nations have had conversations with opposition politicians such as Hillary and McCain, and been reassured that any consequences will be opposed by them. The left has been mighty quick to accuse Trump of collusion with foreign powers, it may be a case of accusing him of whet they've actually been doing? They do have a history after all.

If the deep state intelligence agencies have the evidence they will sit on it, but they've demonstrated rank incompetence when it comes to ISM; so there may a Snowden lurking out there. It will not surprise me.
