    Well you realise that Obama also refused a death penalty resolution, right? Are you saying that one DID make a reference to a global moratorium on the death penalty?

    Jayzuz......this entire Forum is full of whataboutism. I was not here when Obama was POTUS and I have no idea what the relevant UN Resolution was in his time, and I don't bloody well care. Enough of this 'look of there' crap.

    Have you actually read the ENTIRE resolution? I bet it wasn't the actual document that you read, or a UN website webpage.

    You could prolly avoid further 'whataboutism' if you accuse Obama of also having 'wanted gays executed' given that he rejected the same resolution as the one you're basing this accusation against Trump on.

    Why aren't you JUST as outraged about the US (in your mind) wanting people killed who commit apostasy, blasphemy and adultery?

    The USA is NOT wanting people killed for those reasons, but it failed to mark their position by supporting that Resolution. Hence, this Thread.

    Trump literally stole money from his charity to pay the legal fees from all of the fines and lawsuits over his "Trump University" scam.

    Trump makes more money through his hotels, during trips than he would getting a salary. His entire staff that travels with him, includng secret service agencts, all stay in Trump-brand hotels, and the taxpayers pay for those rooms.

    You are talking about ISIS throwing gays off the roof in Syria. That doesn't happen in the Gulf States.. Have you been to Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait or the UAE?

    Yes, YOUR thread, the title of which includes the words, "you want gays executed?" So how do you explain that?

    Somehow I'm not believing you, that you are no conservative.

    If it wasn't for northern European culture, the rest of the world would still be in the stone and bronze age. The enlightenment and the progress it inspired are what brought us modernity.

    There is more than one question mark in the Title, Chris. You'll have to do better than that, by a long shot. :)

    Okay, well then what do you suppose the reason is that the US voted against this resolution?

    The charity was used for legit charitable purposes at time as well. But really it was Trump promising to donate his own money to an organization, and instead making the Trump Foundation cut a check. He and his family haven't personally donated to the charity since 2000. So he's promising to donate his own money, but instead takes money donated to his charity by others, and passes it off as his own donations. He's actually gotten humanitarian and other awards for it too.
