No it isn't a FACT, that myth has been debunked many times and yet liberals keep repeating the same tired lie.

Here's another one...

Trump can examine our foreign aid and begin cutting off aid - especially to countries who are hostile to our interests like Pakistan (safe have for Osama bin Laden) for example.

We are $20 trillion in debt. We really should not be supplying aid to anyone.

I love my country, I feel as if the last eight years the man who was supposed to lead it didn't. Trump at least acts like he does.
By apologizing for things we`ve done wrong Obama has set a bad example for our children hasn`t he?

If he can pass e-verify and expand its reach he will be the most successful President in generations.

And that's a very good one too, and I would include with that reduce or stop financial support of the U.N. which has over the years become nothing more than a mouthpiece for dictators and countries that hate the U.S.

Why do liberals always look for what government can do for them? I don't expect Trump to do ANYTHING for me. I expect him to have a Justice Department that enforces the law and supports the Constitution. I expect him to at least try to enact law and policy that protects Americans, physically and economically, first and the rest of the world second. I would hope he would cut down on the ways some people try to get a free ride off the taxpayers, stop forgiving debt that people willingly and knowingly got into of their own free will. I would like to see him quit bailing out businesses, but that probably won't happen.

Dozens of countries much poorer than ourselves sent aid to New Orleans after Katrina. We`re 20 trillion in debt mostly because of our war loving ways and tax cuts that nobody needed.

Enforce immigration laws,build the wall,renegotiate trade deals to bring good blue collar jobs back to America that pay higher wages,fixing the immigration problem will also help wages go up. If Ivanka has a say so or he listens to her we will have paid leave for mothers who have babies.I expect an all around better country.

I understand that...

I am not referring to emergency aid like Haiti... we send money to countries regularly for various reasons.

More Harm Than Good?

Since 2002, U.S. aid to Pakistan (both economic-related assistance and security-related assistance) has averaged roughly $2 billion per year.

...
Consider that in the same year that it dispersed its most generous aid package ever to Pakistan ($4.5 billion in 2010), the U.S. suffered its highest level of casualties in Afghanistan (499). Meanwhile, terrorism-related deaths in Pakistan jumped from 189 in 2003 to 11,704 in 2009 and 5,496 in 2014.


------------------

Afghanistan Is The Big Winner In U.S. Foreign Aid

In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. gave $42 billion in aid to 186 countries around the world.

...
Most of the aid to South and Central Asia went to just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Together, they accounted for about $14.02 billion of the $15.1 billion that went to the region, and were among the top recipients of U.S. aid worldwide in 2012.

Im also big on the idea of term limits.

If Trump can get a Constitutional Amendment to limit Congressional term limits and ban congressional members from lobbying jobs up until 5 years after they leave office--that will be absolutely remarkable imo.

To me he will hold his offer of "draining the swamp"
