Trump has started 2018 by withholding $255 MILLION in financial assistance to Pakistan.

From Trumps tweet

"The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!"

Good to see him following through on campaign promises. We aren't the world's biggest sucker like under Obama.

Trump is going to shut down the federal reserve one way or another. We will be back on gold in short order.

WOW! Must be cold in hell, I agree with you.

Of course we still give far too much to other countries but it's a start.

Noteworthy tidbit: Now that Trump has once again shot his mouth off, if you Google "Does Pakistan have" the auto fill pours out variations of "nukes/nuclear weapons/the bomb".

Tells you everything you need to know about how much the world thinks about Trump's mental condition.

Supposedly they are an ally. Even when they got caught sheltering Bin Laden, Obama shrugged it off.

Because they have helped us fight terrorists, and Soviets, and to keep them as pro-US as possible.
