The United Nations says Trump is making life harder for the poor
Washington Post ^ | June 3, 2018 | Amanda Erickson

The United Nations has never been shy about attacking the United States. In recent years, U.N. officials accused the Obama administration of failing to address police brutality and sexual assault in the military. After a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville last year, the U.N. team tasked with monitoring the implementation of the global convention against discrimination called on high-level U.S. politicians and public officials to unequivocally reject racial hate speech. Also last year, the world body called President Trump's attacks on the media "dangerous."

Now, a top human rights investigator is criticizing the United States for failing the poor.

Philip Alston, U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, has spent the past several months visiting impoverished communities across the United States. In one visit to Alabama, he met a family struggling to maintain their home on an income of $958 a month.

Get the US out of the UN.

With all that the US has been doing for all the countries in the world, this is the gratitude we get.

If the poor don't help themselves how much can you do?

Well, let's distribute what we give the U.N. every year, to the poor in the USA... and see the United Nations maintain their home on $958 a month. Even that is too much to give to the U.N., but we are a generous people.

BS. The poor flooding in from all over the world due to boneheaded decisions made by commie lib, Feral “judges” is making life harder for the poor. I’m tired of hearing this BS and shouldn’t have to hear it from the faggots, maggots and pedophiles down at the so called UN.

About 41 million Americans live in poverty, according to government data, about 12.7 percent of the population. One in three of those are children. The United States has one of the highest youth poverty rates in the developed world.

Our people living in "poverty" live better than the majority of the people in the world. They live a life that would be considered middle class or higher in most countries.

One of the last major UN rappeurtors was Prof. Richard Falk, one of the top lawyers in the Hanoi Lobby, the anti-Israel Lobby/PLO Lobby, pro-Iran lobby, and generally Hate-America Lobby.

Look up his record at www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org to see what kind of man the UN hired re “human rights”.

Falk never met an extremist, communist, Islamic, Iranian etc. he didn’t like or wouldn’t defend.

This new clown sounds just like him. Send him to parts of England, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Albania, etc. and see how many poor people are living there? Never mind Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, Nigeria, etc.

UN report blames Trump for poverty, using official data... from 2008 to 2016!
The term “libtard” is used for good reason.

The United Nations say many things.
Most useless and self serving.
A money pit for the world's productive and advanced countries.
