Donald Trump ran on putting America First.
The globalists thought he was bluffing.
And Trump declared war on the globalists with one stroke of a pen.
Trump defunds the New World Order in one signature
President Trump signed a presidential memorandum withdrawing the United States from 66 globalist organizations that have been feeding at the American taxpayer trough for decades.
The directive hits 35 non-United Nations organizations and 31 UN entities.
Trump's cutting them off.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out what Trump discovered.
"The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation's sovereignty," Rubio said.
Translation: they've been robbing Americans blind while working against us.
"These withdrawals keep a key promise President Trump made to Americans – we will stop subsidizing globalist bureaucrats who act against our interests," Rubio added.
"Going forward, these orgs. can be useless and wasteful on their own dime."
Trump defunds the climate cult
The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact got defunded.
So did the International Solar Alliance.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?
Gone.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change?
Cut off.
Trump kneecapped the entire climate change industrial complex.
These organizations burn billions pushing green energy mandates that kill American jobs and make America dependent on China for solar panels and batteries.
Now they're begging other countries to pick up the tab.
Good luck with that.
The media won't tell you this part.
Trump went after the whole globalist architecture the Left spent 50 years building.
The Global Forum on Migration and Development?
That's the group flooding the southern border with illegal aliens.
Defunded.
The UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women?
That's the DEI factory exporting woke ideology worldwide.
Cut off.
The UN Population Fund that Republicans have been trying to defund for 40 years because of its abortion agenda?
Finally gone.
Trump even pulled out of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent.
Notice there's no UN forum for people of Asian or European descent.
The double standards got exposed and defunded simultaneously.
Trump's dismantling the globalist empire piece by piece
The International Cotton Advisory Committee.
The International Lead and Zinc Study Group.
The International Tropical Timber Organization.
What do any of these have to do with American security or prosperity?
Nothing.
They exist so international bureaucrats can collect six-figure salaries pretending to address problems that don't need international coordination.
Trump's also targeting the coordination centers.
The UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination got defunded.
That's the group that coordinates globalist policy across all UN agencies.
The UN System Staff College trains the next generation of international bureaucrats.
Also defunded.
The Peacebuilding Commission and Peacebuilding Fund sound noble until you realize they're slush funds for left-wing pet projects with zero connection to actual peace.
All gone.
Rubio explained what these organizations became.
"What started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests," Rubio stated.
Here's the part that should terrify every globalist.
Trump's review isn't finished.
This is just the first wave.
The UN gets hit where it hurts most
America provides 22% of the UN's regular budget.
That's more than China, Russia, and the UK combined.
America's been the UN's sugar daddy since 1945.
And what does America get for it?
A forum where dictatorships lecture America about human rights.
Where China sits on the Human Rights Council while running concentration camps.
Where Iran chairs women's rights committees.
Trump's done subsidizing this circus.
During his first term, Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, the Iran nuclear deal, and UNESCO.
Biden reversed every withdrawal.
Trump's back and systematically defunding the entire globalist bureaucracy.
The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance pretends to promote democracy.
An organization promoting democracy that needs American funding?
While actual democracies like Hungary get sanctioned for not following Brussels' orders?
Trump saw through that scam.
Organizations like the Commission for Environmental Cooperation and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research exist solely to push climate regulations on American businesses while China builds a new coal plant every week.
Those days are over.
Trump's message is crystal clear: American taxpayers aren't paying for globalism anymore.
You want to build your New World Order?
Find somebody else to fund it.
