FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, ARE YOU LISTENING U.S. SENATE(?), NO MONEY IN THE FORM OF FOREIGN AID SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY COUNTRY UNLESS IT IS DONE AS A LOAN, NOT JUST A GIVEAWAY. IT CAN BE LOANED ON EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD TERMS, LIKE NO INTEREST AND AN UNLIMITED LIFE, BUT A LOAN NEVERTHELESS. THE DEAL SHOULD BE (CONTINGENT!) THAT THE U.S. IS HELPING YOU, AS A NATION, BUT IF THE COUNTRY WE ARE HELPING EVER TURNS AGAINST US, OR STRIKES IT RICH SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, THE LOAN WILL BE PAID OFF AND THE MONEY RETURNED TO THE UNITED STATES. WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE MONEY ANYMORE WITHOUT THE HOPE OF A PAYBACK, OR WITHOUT “STRINGS” ATTACHED. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHOULD BE “STUPID” NO LONGER!
Step 1: Cut all foreign aid.
Step 2: Cut whatever percentage of every Federal program by whatever percentage of spending cuts are necessary to not have the national debt raise any further, unless Congress has passed a budget that will accomplish this by required date.
This is about time. When we fought the Revolutionary War, we borrowed money from other countries, did we pay it back. I will say we paid for it by "giving" money to other countries, maybe not the same ones we borrowed from, but other countries got our money and never had to worry about getting any of it back to us. I understand Israel buys weapons from us that we "give" to them, so in a way that is paying it back.

There is little that else President Trump could say that would be more threatening to the political & bureaucrat classes of D.C. So much of the corruption is dependent on the foreign aid grift.
ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO VOTES FOR FOREIGN AID SHOULD FORFEIT THEIR INCOME AND ASSETS. That would make more sense. If they REALLY want to give, start at home.
There should be NO foreign aid, loan or gift, ever again. The Constitution does not grant that power, just the same as it doesn't for welfare or social security, or etc.
Stop all expenditures of tax dollars that are not authorized by the original charter upon which our Republic was established.
Let's here it in the words of those who founded our Republic, as well as those who understood their intent, and provided The Way:
There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate upon real favours from Nation to Nation. 'Tis an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard. ~ George Washington
My policy has been, and will continue to be, while I have the honor to remain in the administration of the government, to be upon friendly terms with, but independent of, all the nations of the earth. To share in the broils of none. To fulfil our own engagements. To supply the wants, and be carriers for them all: Being thoroughly convinced that it is our policy and interest to do so. ~ George Washington
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. ~ George Washington
The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign affairs. Let the General Government be reduced to foreign concerns only, and let our affairs be disentangled from those of all other nations, except as to commerce, which the merchants will manage the better, the more they are left free to manage for themselves, and our General Government may be reduced to a very simple organization, and a very inexpensive one; a few plain duties to be performed by a few servants. ~ Thomas Jefferson
What is needed here is a return to the Constitution of the United States. We need to have a complete divorce of Bank and State. The old struggle that was fought out here in Jackson's day must be fought over again... The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve Banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. Faithless Government officers who have violated their oaths of office should be impeached and brought to trial. Unless this is done by us, I predict that the American people, outraged, robbed, pillaged, insulted, and betrayed as they are in their own land, will rise in their wrath and send a President here who will sweep the money changers out of the temple. ~ Louis McFadden
And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale. ~ Thomas Jefferson
The policy of American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits. ~ Thomas Jefferson
[I]f we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy. ~ Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical. ~ Thomas Jefferson
But with respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age, or within the term of 19 years. ~ Thomas Jefferson
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. ~ Thomas Jefferson
If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America. ~ James Madison
What can be more reasonable than that when crowds of them [immigrants] come here, they should be forced to renounce everything contrary to the spirit of the Constitution[?] ~ James Madison
Here in America, government began as a tool to assure freedom. It gradually turned into a hideously expensive political toy designed to redistribute your wealth and control most aspects of your business and private life. ~ Mark Skousen
[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. ~ John Quincy Adams
Governors have no Right to seek and take what they please; by this, instead of being content with the Station assigned them, that of honorable Servants of the Society, they would soon become Absolute Masters, Despots,and Tyrants. Hence, as a private Man has a Right to say what Wages he will give in his private Affairs, so has a Community to determine what they will give and grant of their Substance for the Administration of public Affairs. ~ Samuel Adams
What is so mind boggling is that all of this is being financed by the American people themselves through their own taxes. In other words, the American people are underwriting the destruction of their own freedom and way of life by lavishly financing through federal and state grants the very social scientists who are undermining our national sovereignty and preparing our children to become the dumbed-down vassals of the new world order. ~ Samuel L. Blumenfeld
To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws.~ John C. Calhoun
Can any reasonable man be well disposed toward a government which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself? ~ Alexander Hamilton
In the recommendation to admit indiscriminately foreign emigrants of every description to the privileges of American citizens on their first entrance into our country, there is an attempt to break down every pale which has been erected for the preservation of a national spirit and a national character; and to let in the most powerful means of perverting and corrupting both the one and the other. ~ Alexander Hamilton
The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. ... [T]he long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior. ~ Jacob G. Hornberger
The fundamental principle is this: No matter how worthwhile an end may be, if there is no constitutional authority to pursue it, then the federal government must step aside and leave the matter to the states or to private parties. The president and Congress can proceed only from constitutional authority, not from good intentions alone. If Congress thinks it necessary to expand its powers, the Framers crafted an amendment process for that purpose. But too often, rather than follow that process, Congress has disregarded the limits set by the Constitution and gutted our frontline defense against overweening federal government. ~ Robert A. Levy
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward restoring for our children the American Dream that wealth is denied to no one, that each individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and ability will take him. . . . But we cannot have such reform while our tax policy is engineered by people who view the tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure. ~ Ronald Reagan
That is all true, and correct. However, when people owe you money, that is listed as an asset. Imagine what the value of the USA would like if we were holding on to outstanding loans, instead of empty air, for all the money we have given away over the years.
The U.S. shouldn’t even consider giving any foreign nations money even as a loan unless we have a budget surplus and zero debt.
Sweet music to my ears! End the money laundry operations that feed the corruption we are finding in every nook and cranny of government.
No loans period.

Has he ever posted in all-caps like this before?
I believe he has from time to time
Well that seems a bit short sighted in this context.
Step 1: Cut off ALL foreign aid. Step 2: Cut off ALL foreign aid until we have a budget surplus and no national debt.
Step 3: cut off Congress ability to vote themselves a raise and get benefits in line with the private sector.
Wouldn't that first part require a repeal of the 27th Amendment?
Note that I agree with you.
I have a feeling that when we get full control back that there will be more than one Amendment after the 10th that is revisited.
Then I guess we have work ahead of us. Lol

That's a good ... start.
It's money laundering, and nothing more.
Trump still being too Generous, but maybe the loan criteria can be refined a bit more. Art of the Deal?

He’s being way too flexible with my money. No easy loans either.
Makes sense, that’s how I run my company and exactly how my Creditors do business with me…🤔

No more money, even on 'loan', to countries that empty their prisons, the unskilled, ignorant poor and mentally ill to our country.
Great idea, should have implemented it the first time you your were President.
Darn it
I only can vote once; and Pres Trump
A loan with zero interest and no repayment timeline is no different than what we're doing now.
"Foreign Aid" is nothing more than a bribe and needs to be stopped completely.
Until that 'friend' wants something else from you. Thats when you point out the money already owed and end the conversation.
That is all true, and correct. However, when people owe you money, that is listed as an asset. Imagine what the value of the USA would like if we were holding on to outstanding loans, instead of empty air, for all the money we have given away over the years.
