#Trump to strip all funding from State Department team promoting women's rights around the world
Donald Trump plans to strip all funding from a State Department bureau that promotes the rights of women around the world, it has emerged.
Oxfam America led criticism of the move, saying said cutting funds for the Office of Global Womens Issues would have dire consequences for millions of people, as well as our global standing.
Documents first leaked to Foreign Policy showed plans to reduce the offices 2016 budget of $8.25 million (£6.43 million) to zero in 2018, though the Presidents budget will still have to make it past Congress.
Its clear that womens empowerment and gender equality are on the chopping block in this budget, Oxfam vice president for policy, Paul OBrien, said.

I have no problem with liars and con-people getting booed. As a matter of fact they should get booed more often and louder.
