U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor Thursday of the United Nations resolution rejecting Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Trump also expressed support for a letter sent by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, in which she warned member states against supporting the resolution.

(Snip)

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

“Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care.”

Take that, you ingrates. Funny how it never occurred to any of them that the spigot of US largesse has a flow valve that can be closed.

If I was smart enough, I would figure out how to post a clip of that late night guy (can’t remember his name) saying “Do it, Do it!” I think he’s a Brit, and originally said it when Trump was thinking about running.

Take all the money we give to the Jew haters and give half to Israel for weapons and half to our military for a pay raise.

Nobody has a right to the USA’s money (which originally comes from Taxpayers).

If we chose to give to anyone, it is OUR CHOICE.

Excellent, hope he follows through.

Haley’s recent statement at the UN indicates he’s serious.
