The Dictators Club
Over time, the U.N. has gained the nickname The Dictator’s Club for its membership inclusion of regimes and dictatorships and for ongoing scandals including child rape by official U.N. peacekeepers. Recently, the U.N. began pushing U.N. Agenda 2030 or “Declaration of Interdependence” to combine the countries of the world into one group controlled by a handful of potentates.
Thomson Reuters Foundation editor-in-chief Belinda Goldsmith puts the cost of implementing Agenda 2030 at $172.5 trillion. (Turns out international coercion ain’t cheap.) Agenda 2030 calls for replacing nationalism with globalism to the extent that: “All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan,” adopt “shared” wealth; and require “all learners” to embrace common definitions of “cultural diversity,” “gender equality” and “global citizenship.”

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein warned the Human Rights Council of rising populism and government authoritarianism in the face of current security threats, calling on delegates to protect the rights-based multilateral system.
OHCHR launched its highest-ever appeal for extra-budgetary funds, seeking US$253 million for its 2017 work programme, which aims to contribute to the sound governance of migration and advance implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

U.S. Funding of the U.N. System
The U.S. has been the largest financial supporter of the U.N. since the organization’s founding in 1945. The U.S. is currently assessed 22 percent of the U.N. regular budget and more than 27 percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget.

Trump is supposed to be a populist, as opposed to a globalist. But, clearly, he is not. He is not a globalist, as many of his fans would think. That would leave Dictator.

LOL, why, because he doesn't want to play by your rules? When you come up with something intelligent let us know.
It's funny how leftists like yourself keep trying to claim "Trump is a racist, Trump is a dictator", yet it is your side, the left that under the Obama administration have been labeling people as possible extremists for not espousing love to the "progressive diatribe"... Dictators are those who seek to silence their opposition, and that is what your side has been doing. Wake the hell up and smell the roses, you are the one cheering for the dictators.
You know he was elected right?

I'm trying to understand your criticism of the left. Espousing love, that is, not tolerating intolerance is equivalent to dictatorship? So I am trying to understand this idea. If not allowing dictatorship means you are a dictator. Therefore, we must allow dictators to be oppressive so progressives are not dictators. Got it.

Not that I have much of an opinion on Trump. But, you do realize a lot of dictators were originally elected and then exceeded their powers. Like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini to name a few...
European countries that completely opened their borders in the name of "multiculturalism"?...
Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.
Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides?

And none of those guys showed up in the political system we have in the US.
And by the way, have you ever heard of the Lebensborn?
Before you people want to make any more "Trump is just like Hitler" statements you would be wise to educate yourself.
And its difficult to nigh impossible for a dictator to show up with the current system of checks and balances we have.

He seems to think he can fire Congressmen.
Got a source of any kind?
