Not quite, Trumps businesses will make profit from this, while the future of the nation might be sacrificed. But who cares about the future? It's all about making profit now, be it by denying climate change or damning your nations economy.

The beginning of what is probably a long line of isolationist shit.

I remember thinking it funny when Charles De Gaulle was parodied one time. "The world will end on Friday. President De Gaulle announced that France will not participate."
It was funny, then.

I had my suspicions that this was about Israel, and yep. They'd rather quit the UN than side against Israel. This is so stupid.

The difference is there was no equivalent of an unsatisfactory armistice for a really powerful state. Russia today is not a match for Germany's potential in 1933.

Oh, I'm not serious. The only real parallel to be drawn from that comment was isolationism.

Getting out of the UN would be an opening position.
Presumably some UN poobah will shit out a counter offer of some sorts and then we'll see how the US responds.
I'd think getting some hard core Islam types off of various human and women's rights UN committees and bureaus might be an interesting development. UN taking responsibility for it's spreading of cholera (or whatever it was) in Haiti would be another item to put on the table.
LOL, throwing NYC a bone and paying diplomats parking citations (what are they up to now, a billion clams or so?) might fly.
Prosecuting rapists and child molesters in the UN Peacekeeping forces would be a no brainer for the UN to capitulate on.
Hell, I bet the UN overhead and administrative redundancy, waste, redundancy, fraud, redundancy, abuse, redundancy theft and redundancy could be cut substantially, and there's no reason not too.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The Republitraitors' problem with the UN is not that there's too many ragheads there, but too many bleeding heart libtards who think human rights are a right and not a privilege.
Apart from.preying the wrong way the ragheads are after the Republitraitors own hearts.
