All 193 nations within the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of the measure in April 2013....fuck MF45INDIANAPOLIS President Donald Trump gave the National Rifle Association something they had long wanted on Friday when he announced that he was pulling out of the United Nations Arms Treaty.
"The United Nations will soon receive a formal notice that America is rejecting this treaty," Trump said at the NRA convention on Friday. "Under my administration, we will never surrender our American sovereignty to anyone."
Trump signed the resolution which regulates the $70 billion business in conventional arms and seeks to keep weapons out of the hands of human rights abusers. He tossed the pen he used to sign it into the audience.
It wasn't challenging to find NRA members who appreciate and ultimately support the president's decision. The NRA has said the treaty undermines domestic gun rights in the past.

He is extending his middle finger to any friends we have left in this world.

I googled orange and am exploring nick names for the POS using colors similar to his complexion.
Who would sign a treaty with this idiot. His word means nothing. I look at the attached picture and I assume hes going for the steely eyed look. More like the constipated look. Makes me sick to even look at him.
