President Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement has former NYC Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg reportedly opening his own checkbook for the United Nations:

Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent, couldn’t avoid editorializing about recent events while lauding Bloomberg:
The last time a concerned private citizen covered for deadbeat America was CNN founder Ted Turner, who paid off America's UN debt. https://t.co/Wx9aGc0Fsv

The U.S. sends out tens of billions of dollars in foreign assistance every year, so it depends on what your definition of “deadbeat” is. Amanpour weaving her own basket of deplorables aside, Bloomberg’s gesture might be making a point opposite to the one the Left hopes:
EXACTLY what conservatives love to see. Private dollars for a cause you care about. NOT tax dollars. #Bloomberg https://t.co/VDKfVN5ZKJ
