Trump Shames the Nation

Trump has no sense of honor and now with his mafia style diplomacy he has brought unprecedented disgrace to the nation. Trump fits the mold of third world street politicians who understand nothing else but brute force, in international arena that doesn’t always work.

Following an earlier Security Council resolution vetoed by the US, which stated that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved through negotiations; the United Nations General Assembly today passed a similar measure critical of President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Prior to today’s United Nations General Assembly vote, Trump’s hand-picked US Ambassador Nikki Haley relayed President’s warning to cutoff aide to any country if they voted for the measure. The resolution passed by a vote of 128-9, notwithstanding.

Nikki Haley was blunt, “The United States will remember this day when it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly,” adding forcefully, “We will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they often do, to pay even more. This vote will be remembered.”

One hundred and twenty eight countries slapped Nikki and Donald on both cheeks, and thirty five other nations shared the fun by abstaining.

Before the voting began, Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Foreign Minister of Turkey said, “We were all asked to vote no or face the consequences. Some even threatened to cut development aid. This is bullying. It is unethical to think that the votes and dignity of member states are for sale.”

What does a bully do when his bluff is called?

He stops bullying, that’s what is expected from a reasonable person, though.
