        In Trumpworld, money is everything. In fact good will and cooperation is the “Real Deal.” Consider the impact of withdrawing money in terms of support and positive relationships. Relationships bound by money are fickle and unpredictable, much like our President.

        He is absolutely right! The U.N. is no longer working for or with Americans! It should be abolished or moved to the Middle East! Hypocrisy!!

        It doesn’t appear the World gets what it pays for with the UN. A good concept, but it hasn’t worked.

        There are 193 UN member states, which gives the US 0.05% of the vote for 23% of the budget. Most UN states only support Russia and China and outright dont support the US. Pitty Trump was the first potus to stand up against this bias and unfair playingfield.

        Well, the war ended decades ago. It's time for the rest of the world to step up their game. Americans are tired of being the global piggy bank.

        No! Trump is owned by Putin! In November the American people plan to put a check on him! Putin installed Trump and helped Brexit because he wants chaos. He doesn't want a strong America and or UK. Trump must go he is a crook!

        So much spin in this, I don’t know where to start. How much money was the US spending before the cuts? If you add those back in, what percentage of GDP was the US paying? Isn’t China the second biggest economy? Why are they sixth on the list? This story is BS.

        The UN deserves $0. It’s corrupt and does more bad than good. It has outlived its purpose and should be disbanded. Any politician who will defund the UN has my vote.
