We've been saying for months that the establishment in Washington DC will not go down without a fight. President Trump represents the single biggest threat to their existence because for the first time, we have a President who cares more about the American people than he does about the donor class.
Trump promised to defund the United Nations. When he first arrived at the UN last month, he made a statement putting the UN on notice that their gravy train was over. If they didn't make serious reforms, they would be cut off.
This infuriated Democrats. For eight years, they have used the UN as an end around to defeat the Constitution. Every time Barack Obama wanted to implement his agenda but didn't have the votes to do it, he turned to the United Nations. He used the UN to bring more illegal aliens and refugees into the country, to implement worldwide gun control, and to enact ridiculously expensive global warming regulations. That ended with Trump's Presidency.
But while the President was vocal in his announcements overturning the Obama agenda, the Democrats have been secretly working to pull the rug out from under Donald Trump's plan to cut off the UN's funding. And they have Republican collaborators who are helping to get their amendments passed!
The Senate Appropriations Committee just snuck snuck millions into next year's State Department budget for the sole purpose of propping up the United Nations' radical climate treaty.
Donald Trump withdrew from the treaty. He announced that Obama's attempts to circumvent the Constitution were over. You see, former-President Obama signed the climate treaty without Congressional approval and then sent over a billion to help the UN implement it. When Trump withdrew, he also announced the end of all of these Obama-era payments.
Well, together with a handful of Republicans, Democrats just took one major step towards undermining President Trump and keeping the Obama dollars flowing.
Three republicans made this betrayal possible: Lindsey Graham (SC), Lamar Alexander (TN), and serial-turncoat Susan Collins (ME). Lindsey Graham allowed the amendment to be voted on - only to abstain during the actual vote. You see, he didn't want to be seen voting for this travesty. He knew that would be political suicide in South Carolina. But he wanted it to pass. So, Graham teed it up and then Senators Alexander and Collins joined the Democrats to thumb their noses at President Trump.
This is a travesty. But this is not the only example of this. In committees in both the House and the Senate, Democrats are trying to sneak amendments into spending bills to undermine the President at home and abroad.
Congress didn't pass a budget in time for next year. Instead, they passed a continuing resolution to give themselves a few extra weeks to craft next year's spending bills. And we are seeing how they are using this time. Democrats and turncoat Republicans alike are working together to stop President Trump from implementing the America First agenda.
They must be stopped before it is too late!
