Trump's next move?  I'm thinking he'll push for dumping the U.N.  I am doubtful that the spineless in Congress will go along with him. 

EXCLUSIVE: Amid U.S. immigration uproar, UN set to pick new special advisor on migration as focus for next effort

Amid the furor over the Trump Administration’s temporary refugee ban and immigration restrictions, the United Nations is preparing to announce a new top-level official position to advise on international migration issues, internal sources have told Fox News.

The position will help to focus additional international attention—and, likely, political fireworks-- on the issues of international refugees and migration in advance of an international conference slated for 2018.  Among other things, the upcoming conference has a goal to create the basis for an international agreement on “safe, orderly and regular migration.”

In other words, the meeting is liable to be even more of an international focal point for the intense international immigration debate that is roiling U.S. political waters, and also stirring governments and political parties across Europe. 

The likely choice for the special advisor job, Fox News was told, is Louis Arbour, a former Canadian Supreme Court Justice and U.N.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

According to some reports, there exist draft executive orders reducing US funding to the United Nations and other international organizations by at least 40% overall.
