WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Days after the United Nations voted to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, Donald Trump questioned its effectiveness Monday, saying it's just a club for people to "have a good time."

The president-elect wrote on Twitter that the U.N. has "such great potential," but it has become "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So sad!"

On Friday, Trump warned, "As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th," referring to the day he takes office.
The decision by the Obama administration to abstain from Friday's U.N. vote brushed aside Trump's demands that the U.S. exercise its veto and provided a climax to years of icy relations with Israel's leadership.

Trump tweeted later Monday, "The world was gloomy before I won — there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10 percent and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!"

Well, if there is one thing that Trump knows about, its clubs where you can "have a good time."

1. How many times has Pro-Nofacto President Dump visited the halls of the UN?

My what a site from Dump Tower!

2. The GOP always describe helping people or giving to charity or community

organizing as people having a good time. Then they describe selfishness or sadism on their side as having a good time too. As if they equate. Which they do if you follow dataism. It states that emotions are just algorithms. They put no value on lives being made better. Chilling.

3. pig shit

means HIS house...

4. He'll have to dump on the UN all the live long day; his militia types expect it.

If we come out of this in 2020 without the UN having to classify us as a failed state, I'll believe in God again.

10. If we have a UN in 2020, it will be a miracle.

If trump stops the United States from funding the UN, it's pretty much dead as an organization because I don't think the other countries can afford to replace our funding.


Ugly times for the UN.

15. Good point.

Thanks to our GOP congresscritters though, we currently owe over $1.3 billion in UN arrears - more than any other country (and to be fair, most UN members are behind at least a little on their dues). That's close to three months of core budget spending at the UN.

The habit, you might recall, started in the mid-90s with the godfather of neo-confederate politics, North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms. It was Helms, of course, who popularized the widely-held belief among the far right that the UN "iz aftuh our guns!"

5. Oh, he's also the boss of the UN now?

6. "All established institutions are bad, only I am good." - Trump

[progree]

7. "Market is up nearly 10%" -- I get 8.7% for the Dow and 5.8% for the S&P 500

Comparing the 12/23 close to the 11/8 close.

(I had a bit of a math error on my first post - I had figured the Dow was up 5.5%, I transposed 2 digits)

As for the bond market, it has plunged since Nov 8.

8. Says the man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth

and enjoys the good life at every turn.
What a loony man we have soon to arrive as President.
He's not even in office yet, and he's making it obvious that we're all fucked.

9. media needs to stop treating tweets as news. make they guy speak to a microphone if he wants

publicity

[Vinca]

11. I disagree. His tweets are news.

And the bad news is he's a blithering idiot.

[Mc Mike]

12. dRumpf's little nazi faction is mad because the UN took effective action,

so they criticize the UN for never taking effective action.

Not too hard to see thru his lies and tactics.

[underpants]

13. So no one spent money on Christmas before him?

It's like he thinks he's the "new King" or something.

[awoke_in_2003]

14. That explains it...

I was getting a cup of coffee in the break room and CNN was on (just got in, and hadn't had the chance to covertly change the channel to NASA), and the talking head was saying the UN was outdated and should be replaced with another organization- perhaps NATO. Yeah, surprise surprise.
