This year, Trump is turning his sights on liars, starting with Palestinians who are spreading falsehoods about the United States of America.

Recently, Trump took to Twitter to give his opinion on the massive amounts of American tax dollars that are being sent overseas to countries that are not willing to cooperate with American beliefs.
It's not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue…

…peace treaty with Israel. We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?

In the last few days, Nikki Haley addressed the United Nations in regards to UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which is solely dedicated to supporting Palestinians as long as they are making an honest effort to head to the table to talk peace with the Israelis. Haley, playing good cop to Trump’s bad cop, said that, “Trump doesn’t want to give any additional funding until the Palestinians agree to come back to the negotiating table, and what we saw with the resolution was not helpful to the situation.” The resolution Ambassador Haley meant was the recent resolution where the vast majority of UN member nations voted against the American assertion that yes, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Haley said that she was there to defend American interests and that the Americans want the Embassy to be moved, and that was that. Haley has been diplomatic, but the policy comes from Trump.
And now we are hearing from a White House official that Trump will indeed pull funds from the Palestinian Authority as long as they promote “falsehoods” that are “being spread about America and our positions.” The official also said that they are “hard at work” on a peace plan that will “benefit both Israelis and Palestinians and will be unveiled when it is ready and the times is right.”
Less than one month into his term last year, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, where Trump earned praise for his support of the tiny country. During one speech, the left melted at the pronouncements Trump was making about the Palestinians who are resisting a peace deal, saying that their children are “taught hate from a very young age… tremendous hate[4].” The solution, figured Trump, was for Palestinians to “acknowledge Israel.”
For an example of that hate, the television show Tomorrow’s Pioneers was a children’s program that aired from 2007-2009 on a Hamas-affiliated television station and featured Disney knockoffs spouting some very shocking ideas. One of them, a giant mouse named Farfour was nicknamed in the west as “Hamas Mickey Mouse” and was eventually beaten and murdered (on a kid’s show!) by Israelis. In this short clip, Farfour gets caught cheating in school and he blames “the Jews.”
Not quite on the same level of Sesame Street teaching you that sharing is caring and that learning to count to ten is easy.
That is the kind of thing that tax dollars are being sent overseas for — not for shelter, food and water. You’re funding propaganda and Trump is right to pull funds if the lies continue.
