Samantha Power tries to defend a cash-strapped U.N. against Trump criticism, ends up proving his point

 

As Twitchy told you yesterday, the United Nations is reportedly running a deficit of $230 million and might run out of money by the end of the month. President Trump had this to say about it:

So make all Member Countries pay, not just the United States! https://twitter.com/cbseveningnews/status/1181612030027030529

Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power came rushing in to defend their honor against Trump with this bit of information:

Just another diversionary lie from @realDonaldTrump. Other countries in fact pay 78% of @UN budget. They also provide nearly 100 percent of the 100,000 soldiers & police who help stabilize dangerous places like Mali & Lebanon where the US has important national security interests

 

 

 

 

Many spotted Power making a great point, albeit not the one she thinks she’s making:

The US, with less than 5% of the world's population, pays 22% of the UN budget. I thought you leftists believed in everyone paying their "fair share". https://twitter.com/SamanthaJPower/status/1181927911500046336

I have no idea what those sounds are (or if they're legit) -- between trumpets and booms, it's a phenomenon (or hoax) which has been going on since at least 2011. 

 

But I like this explanation best. 

Isn't it the sound from Cloverfield or some alien invasion movie?

The Nobel Peace Prize became a mockery the day it was given to Obama simply for showing up.

 

I'm sure they'll get a special one for Greta once she learns how to wipe that smug snarl off her mug.
