Just one day after the United States' U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, threatened the delegates of other member nations that she was keeping a "naughty" list of countries that voted to condemn the U.S. for moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem - and one day after Donald Trump strongly implied that the United States would cut off foreign aid to countries that voted for the same resolution - the rest of the world told Trump what they actually thought of the bully in the White House - and it wasn't pretty!
In a stunning rebuke to the Trump administration's threats and demagoguery, the member nations of voted by a lop-sided 128 to nine (with 35 abstentions) to condemn the United States for its unilateral action - an action perpetrated by Donald John Trump while showing no regard or concern for what the rest of the world thought, and an action almost guaranteed to set the Middle East peace process back by years.
Well, now Trump knows what the rest of the world thinks. (Keep in mind that one of those "no" votes came from the United States itself - so that only leaves eight on Nikki's "nice" list.) Those countries - the ones standing with the United States, were Israel (of course), Guatemala, Honduras, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Marshall Islands, and Togo - powerhouses one and all. Significantly, Great Britain, France, Japan, and Germany all voted in support of the resolution and stood up to Trump's bluster. Canada and Mexico abstained.
Hey Donzo, if you do try and withhold some of that foreign aid, maybe you or your brain, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, could draft a quick amendment to the new tax code to insure that the country's billionaires and big corporations reap the windfall - because if you don't, those damned Democrats might try to spend it on children's health care.
And if you really want to save some U.S. greenbacks, you might also consider taking Netanyahu off of America's payroll.
Oh, and happy holidays!
