I thought foreign money was illegal.

If they were trying to stop Sanders, I bet the ax would fall.

It’s not if or not anything happened....it’s a story and it’s getting the media ratings...thus anyone involved stands to gain one way or the other....

What is the meaning of the minus numbers like Azerbaijan in 2013, or China in both years? Is this repayment of loans, or negative balance of imports/exports, or something else.

-—Lobbyists in Washington say they are being flooded with questions and concerns from foreign governments about the rise of Donald Trump.-—

These are likely the same lobbyists that actively work against America’s interests. Their ‘concerns’ are to be dismissed out of hand.

I argue that foreign governments are yearning for a strong and free America. This world will fall into chaos if the USA falls. And everyone knows it.

Thanks. They didn't make sense at first. These are totals of aid from the entire world to each country, not just US contributions, which are far less.

[Churchill was no sell-out to foreign lobbyists either. He even tried to exploit the US.]

There’s a Smidgeon of Churchill in Trump
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3415101/posts

So there was Winston Churchill, hand-in-hat, beggging us for aid.

Then came Pearl Harbor.

Churchill held a secret ‘strategy’ session — how to handle negotiations with FDR.*

His advisors recommended that they simply repeat their requests with no deviation.

Sir Allen Brooke noticed the Prime Minister’s reaction: “a wicked gleam in his eye”.

“Oh!” said Churchill, “That is the way we talked to her while we were wooing her; now that she’s in the harem we talk to her quite differently.”

Winston Churchill meets ‘Art of the Deal’.

‘[Trump] really has no clue at all ‘how’ he’s going to do a Presidency....except for scurrying around trying hard to find endorsements now and people who can do the work he’s unequipped to do...if he wins....’

That’s based on static thinking.

Muslim refugees are hardening peoples’ goodwill. There will be massive regime change and soon. We need a leader with foresight.

Trump wins, and those lobbyists have to go through him.

Negotiation leverage, bigtime.

I think they are just confused by Donald Trump, as in what does this guy really think... he says something different every day.

We’ll just disagree regarding my comment.

As for diversity overseas.....the world was never designed for this nor intended....Diversity is mans idea. God is a God of “distinctions” throughout the scriptures, from creation to man himself.

Here’s another example of the problem we face:

COPS: 17 Middle Eastern Men Detained After Firing Off Hundreds Of Rounds in CA...
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2016/03/29/17-men-reportedly-heard-chanting-firing-off-shots-in-apple-valley-detained-released

‘Up All Night Chanting ‘Allah Akbar’-Type Stuff’...
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2016/03/29/17-men-reportedly-heard-chanting-firing-off-shots-in-apple-valley-detained-released/

Might be legal, but it’s still terrorism. Foreign lobbyists insist that we ignore this ‘minor’ culture clash and keep importing muslims from radical hellholes.
