OK, so we’ve already heard from former CIA director John Brennan on the United Nations and President Trump’s threat to withhold aid, and his tweet has made him the new poster boy for The Resistance.
Fortunately, John Bolton, former ambassador to the United Nations, jumped on Twitter today and gave the opinion of someone’s who’s been in Nikki Haley’s seat and who also seems to value America’s sovereign rights over those of other nations in the UN.
I would urge @POTUS to look at today’s #UN vote as a pivot to look at the question of American funding of the United Nations- what agencies we can zero out, what agencies we can withdraw from, as well as moving towards voluntary contributions.

Heck, we could do all of those things to the United States government as well, but the UN would make a great practice field.
Good advice from the real deal , @POTUS. https://t.co/N1yRSf7rkc

Agreed! They signaled their lack of support to the US, so we should return the favour. https://t.co/fIvoFxCI19

There's lots of fat, graft and corruption in that organization. On top of that, members of their military arm (peacekeepers?) are alleged to have been rapists while on assignment in Africa. https://t.co/iYT2q7Qj6Y
