I did hear a quote of him saying something about that, but I don't think it was an outright wish to leave the UN. More of a " why do we care what they think"? Sort of thing, but it was on tv, so I don't have a quote.

I believe he also questioned the value of NATO and did actually consider abandoning that alliance.

In other words, you do not have a quote for that and he apparently did not say any such thing.

Why would I quote anything. Aren't you capable of reading the news for yourself.

I can't find him saying this anywhere in searching.


Guess it never was in the news, just conjured up on these pages for all we know.

I've wanted to leave the UN for my entire life and I think we get nothing but grief and they are a completely ineffective or worse.

Anyone else remember how one of the first things Obama did as president was introduce himself as a "citizen of the world" or something like that? No more of that nonsense.

By the way, do you think it's any coincidence that the media has been trying to create conflicts with Russia and China over the past few weeks?
How well would things have worked for us in the end, if we'd let the Isolationists keep us from getting involved in World War II? And after that, if we'd given no aid or organizational assistance to all the devastated countries?

I have read the news and Donald Trump saying that the wants the US to leave the UN is not in it.

Prove me wrong, if you can. But you know you can't, because he never said any such thing.
