Egypt receives nearly $2 Billion yearly from the US. Trump has outed Egypt for purchasing arms from North Korea even though the MSM knew about it in 2016 and reported nothing about it.

Egypt being caught covering it's own purchases is one thing, but Obama knowing about it and blocking MSM from reporting it in a election year and doing nothing about should show Obama didn't have US interests in mind during his administration. Isn't it time for Obama to be outed for not having US interests in mind in that part of the world?

This is the least of our problems. Obama is not president anymore so who cares. We have tremendous problems with Trump in office right now, so how about we address these issues.

Because reasons matter.

Why is trump freezing the Trump administration freezing nearly $300 million in military aid to Egypt over the summer.
answer - because Egypt purchased arms from North Korea

Here's the big question that people don't ask and should. Why are we sending $300 million of Americans money to Egypt in the first place? To bribe them?

Wouldn't you like to see that money here? Maybe spent in your own backyard?

That is the thing. There are many bad policies that Obama pushed on the world that no one knew about and now Trump is left to clean up the mess and he is made to look like the bad guy in doing so.

I also agree that the $300 million would be better spent here in America on another Obama mess...
We have millions of illegal aliens that need housing....

Fortunately we have an academic thinker in Trump who takes the time to understand the intricacies of all foreign policy decisions to ensure that things that appear not in our interest actually are not actually in our interest. It's very refreshing considering the loud mouth buffoon he replaced.

My stone cold guess would be that it's because supporting a relatively moderate military power in that region is in our national interest. Maybe?

Obama would not have had to have covered up Egyptian arm purchases.

This is because we supply Egypt with their arms. And tanks. And weapons. And very large sums of money to purchase more.
