The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to condemn the United States for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. President Trump already issued a warning and threatened to cut aid to those who choose to oppose us, and Nikki Haley issued a FINAL warning ahead of the vote.
.@USUN Ambassador Nikki Haley: The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the @UN General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation…America will put our embassy in Jerusalem…This vote will be remembered. pic.twitter.com/pShm51nzFJ

“America WILL put our embassy in Jerusalem…This vote WILL be remembered.”
Tell ’em, Haley.
Predictably, the majority of nations chose to condemn us anyway. I guess they’re used to the empty threats of the Obama administration. But by far, the most hilarious critique came from this POS– Iran’s foreign minister.
A resounding global NO to Trump regime's thuggish intimidation at #UN.

HAHAHAHAHA! Iran is calling us thuggish? Good grief this is rich! Aren’t you guys the ones who encourage aggression against Israel (and throw gays off rooftops)? Iran knows it’s a top state sponsor of terrorism, right?
So “thuggish intimidation “ is allowing a homophobic culture who oppresses Women to dictate to U.S. their policy of recognizing Jerusalem as The Capital of Israel ? Shame on @UN who claims to stand for equal rights for women & gays that in the Middle East only exists in Israel pic.twitter.com/J6GTJ0jndV

I’d be more upset, but this is just too hilarious.
