Trump to cut funding to UNRWA, etc...

...and I'll go on the record, here and now, that I couldn't agree with these actions more.
So, if he does this...and not just for a minute, actually either helps their eradication and/or massive changes for the better...
...kudos to the man, and all who participated. The dnc rode the optics train so long and hard on this that it made me want to puke forever.

Not sure why you're surprised. He did the same during his first term. We sponsor something like 45% of the funding for the UNRWA which is really just a Hamas front organization. Relief is coordinated by the UNHCR for everywhere else in the World except Palestine..but they need a "special" organization? Keep the aide up to Gaza but move in some UN troops to distribute it via UNHCR so the funds don't go to Hamas to rebuild it's terror operation.

Between the Biden decisions to restart funding for the UNRWA, loosen sanctions and release frozen funds to Iran and the $1B gift of weapons to Afghanistan during the withdrawal, the US was the largest financier of terror in the World during the Biden Administration...and it wasn't even close.

I'm aware of all that, and called out sleepy Joe and his dumbass fan club for their fence-walking BS. My concern is how much is done for attention, and how much is noise for yet more optics...because, let's face it, 45/47 can and will do essentially anything for attention.

So, I applaud this action...but, will also be watching the future, as he's trying to make the inevitable "deals" with the Arab states whose money he openly covets.

He also cut departments that were investigating his smirking un-vetted, un-elected little weaponized appointee and his years' of complaints regarding racism and more at his facilities.

GOSH, how shocking!
