If you haven't been following this story this morning Donald said he would be watching, regarding this vote and said he would withhold US funds from those nations who vote no.

Angry countries at the United Nations on Thursday defied White House threats to cut off foreign aid, as they voted overwhelmingly against President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

At an emergency special session of the U.N. General Assembly, 128 U.N. members voted in favor of a nonbinding resolution criticizing Trump for the move, while nine nations voted against it and 35 countries abstained.

But in blistering speeches preceding the vote, several nations made their fury clear not only with Trump's precedent-breaking announcement on Jerusalem earlier this month, but with threats from Trump and the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.,, Nikki Haley, who had tweeted that the U.S. would be "taking names" of countries backing the resolution.

1. Maybe the only way out of this is for trump to threaten and follow thru, have the entire human race

turn on him and us and ultimately force voters here to do the right thing or accept an economic nightmare.

What dumbshit doesnt know, since he knows nothing, is we hold NO cards, not ultimately. Without the trade he and his criminal friends rely on, they are all bankrupt.

Nah, they hold NO cards, none.

2. He threatens the world like he threatens some contractor in New Jersey that works on one of his

goddamn buildings. He is a shabby cheap bullshit artist. The world will get along just fine without the US.

3. Jamaica was among the abstentions
