12/23/17: In
world news the Trump decision to declare Jerusalem capital of Israel is so
popular that in a vote at the United Nations, eight entire countries side with us. One is Israel. Others backing us
include powerhouses Guatemala and Honduras. Also supporting us are Micronesia,
Togo, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Palau. Admit it. You didn’t know Nauru
was a nation.
Or Palau.
U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations, Nikki Haley, warns before the vote that President Trump will “take
this personally.” (Does he ever not
take matters personally?) The U.S. will be “taking names” and may cut off aid to any country that
stabs us in the red, white, and blue back.
It turns out “taking names” will
take time. Thirty-five nations abstain; 128 condemn the move. Afghanistan votes against the United
States. Iraq votes against. Saudi Arabia does too.
Still, we’re making progress under President “Merry Christmas,” now that eight whole nations are on our side.
This is a huge improvement, compared to the Trump administration’s Flat Earth position on climate change.
In that case the U.S. stood alone.
