“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy,” said Trump at the American Israel Political Affairs Committee on Monday. He continued by saying this about the UN, “It’s not a friend to freedom. It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home. And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel.”
However, Trump used to sing a very different tune years ago regarding the United Nations. He was, in his own words, a “big fan” of the U.N. Testifying in the Senate, in 2005, Trump spoke as an expert commercial developer, to a subcommittee looking into the enormous cost of renovating the U.N. headquarters in New York.
A change in his view has been a repeated issue with Trump during this presidential campaign, but his people call these contradictions as “evolving” on the issues. It seems that the blinders have come off for Trump regarding the United Nations – or at least now that his main purpose of forwarding his businesses is taking a backseat to his political aspirations he is truly coming out with how he really feels.
Reports of U.N. schools housing Hamas rockets sure do give his statement clear credence.

The un hasnt did a thing for the us except take our money
At this point, I am not a Trump supporter. I have always felt that we needed to get out of the UN. If it wasn’t for our money & military might, they would not exist!
We need a president who will stand up to the U. N.
Nick, at this point I am a Cruz supporter & I respect your opinion. Where Cruz supporters & Trump supporters need to stick together is the convention in Cleveland. If neither one come into Cleveland with 1237 delegates, we have a brokered convention, that’s just the way it is. If that happens, we need to make damn sure that one of the 2 walk out with the nomination & not someone else like Kasich. Black Lives Matter have promised a remake of the Democratic convention in 1968, I believe that will happen & many folks will be hurt, even murdered. We cannot let our party implode, if Trump gets the nod or whether Cruz gets the nod, we must stick together & not spread hate among the ranks!
The UN needs to be dissolved!
They do not have our best interest more handouts
United nations should be taken to task, they have been a scourage to the Us for a long time. Rough them up Trump maybe you can make them move their rat house somewhere else.
Good
They should have been thrown out of the U.S. years ago.
Let their nations foot the bill for policing the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
