Trump’s “Christmas Eve Gift” to the UN. Cut US Contribution by $285 Million

Trump UN SpeechAs a big hearty “Thank” you to the UN for the 128-9 vote to declare Trump’s Jerusalem Embassy move null and void, the Executive and Chief sent an early Christmas present to the American People.

The UN’s budget has been slashed by more than $285 million, according to Ambassador Nikki Haley, who said the cost cuts gutted the organization’s “bloated management.”

On Sunday, Haley said the trimmed-down budget would mean increased discipline and accountability throughout the international organization.

She said the UN’s “inefficiency and overspending” were “well-known.”

The US pays for 22% of the UN Budget, an estimated 3.3 billion, so 285 Million Dollars isn’t much, but then it is. Like all Democrat/Socialist ‘institutions,’ it is never supposed to cut back. Cuts to increases send the progressive ruling class into a tizzy. And you can be certain that any future Democrat President’s bucket list will include replacing any cut spending plus back pay all paid for out of your pocket.

The left’s message to the UN is to say how high when they say jump. Mr. Trump, on the other hand, has taken a different tack. Israel is our ally. We are a soverign nation not beholden to a cabal of antisemitic globalists. And refusing to step out of that bubble will come at a price.

With several billion left to whittle away, the lessons are just beginning.
