A long time ago in a country better off than this I said I felt sorry for the administration following Bush & Dart Cheney. The one following this one is going to have to almost start from scratch to rebuild any trust in this country. We are becoming an international pariah.
Is there a web site somewhere that documents foreign aid spending?
By that, I mean does country X, now threatened with withholding, normally get a deposit (or virtual deposit) to spend as they wish?
Are there strings attached where they must spend it on American widgets?
Or does the government send a check directly to the widget maker(s) and get a promise of sending so many widgets to country X? And does anyone count how many widgets country X actually receives?

It’s pretty difficult to believe that any money sent anywhere from our government does so without a campaign donor getting a payoff.
So, this whole threat to cut off aid to some country or other may be yet another pronouncement to be taken ‘seriously, but not literally’.
Trump’s message to the United Nations was a variation of, “Nice ‘store’, ya got! It’d be a shame if something happened to it!” Donnie’s early involvement with organized crime gave him many of his business tactics!

It seems that only Israel, Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo where impressed by Trump.
128 countries where against, and 35 countries didn’t vote.
I don’t think this needs much explanation but America is loosing friends.
