    The day before the Senate is set to begin voting on a $95.3 billion foreign aid package that would provide for Israel and Ukraine, **former President Donald Trump** on Saturday said the US should stop providing foreign aid unless it is structured as a loan.

    “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!” Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social.

    Trump’s comments come after he launched a torrent of attacks on a $118 billion bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package that Senate Republicans ended up blocking Wednesday. It was a stunning rebuke of legislation that would have enacted restrictive border measures and was crafted in part by one of their own members — James Lankford of Oklahoma, one of the chamber’s most conservative senators.

    The former president’s comments Saturday suggest the new foreign aid package, on which the Senate is slated to begin procedural votes Sunday, will end up similarly torpedoed.

    Trump celebrated the failure of the $118 billion bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package at a rally on Saturday.

    “This week we also had another massive victory that every conservative should celebrate: we crushed Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous open borders bill. Crushed it,” Trump told the crowd in Conway, South Carolina.

    The deal would have provided aid to key US allies abroad, including billions of dollars to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia and security assistance for Israel, as well as humanitarian assistance for civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine.

  2. **He also had a shot at the Active Military Members deployed.. mocking them. I really hope the Republicans are proud of their future leader….**

    Former President Donald Trump used a rally in South Carolina on Saturday to attack rival Nikki Haley in her home state — **and to mock the absence of her husband, who is deployed overseas.**

    **“Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. … What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone,” Trump said at his rally in Conway, his first visit to the state this year.**

    Michael Haley is deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard in support of the United States Africa Command, his second active-duty deployment overseas.

    **Nikki Haley fired back at Trump’s comments later Saturday, saying, “If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a driver’s license, let alone being president of the United States.”**

  3. Lol “Joe Biden’s disastrous open border bill” was penned by a GOP Oklahoma senator.

  4. What a fool , our foreign aid is how we keep may smaller countries on our side and supporting our policies .

  5. The foreign aid is always an investment to the US economy. See how much it benefits the red and swing states.

    This dumbass nearly got EU sign a trade deal with China. He also added $7.8 trillion to national debt during his office. He’s a disaster to America and its relationship with Europe.

  6. However this election turns out, the other side sees the other as “The Enemy”. When you see your opponent as an enemy rather than just an opponent, logic goes out the window . I fear the United States will enter into a period of chaos in aftermath of the election. Civil war? Maybe, maybe not. Something along the lines of Northern Irelands Troubles but on a massive scale ? Far more possible. Ultimately European nations need to start planning for the possibility of the US exiting the world stage .

  7. He really doesn’t understand world politics and economics. What a bully!

  8. “Structured as a loan” He’ll just ignore Ukraine either way even with a loan.

  9. Will he have the loan go through the same crooked banker he used

  10. I’m not convinced the Marshall Plan could be possible today which is extremely unfortunate given it’s what prevented Europe from repeating the cycle that causes WW2

  11. Trump can only be deemed a disaster for the world. The policies that he has provided would create chaos in the US and the free world.

    Trump and his cohort must not be elected.

    There is a potential ‘dark’ age that may occur if Trump gets into power.

  12. Makes you wonder how the US ever became the #1 Economic and Militairy Superpower while doing exact the opposite of Trump’s logic.

  13. Under Trump, America’s contribution to the UN WFP increased by 30%

    I wonder how he will tell Netanyahu ?

  14. Mocking the military. What an absolute disgrace. How any veteran or active member of the military could support this POS is beyond me.

  15. I mean it makes sense, loans give you more leverage, as Trump knows quite well from his close working relationship with his loan guarantors in the Kremlin.

  16. Considering how much this guy fails at economics with all his bankrupt casinos and whatnot, he can just shut the fuck up and let actual adults deal with it.

  17. Fine, let’s “loan” Ukraine 100B with 0% interest and a 10,000 year repayment period. Now can we pass the darn bill?

  18. Republicans are losers, this is insane.

    Treating the psycho tweets of a narcissistic sexual predator as the word of God. Just keep deepthroating that fuckin shriveled orange Cheeto cock. Absurd.

  19. I don’t agree with Trump. But sometimes things he says actually makes sense. Really America is not a free bank giving away its tax money. If you get money you need to pay it back later or we own you and your lands. Period.

  20. Coming from the man that can’t pay a loan to save his life 🤣

  21. What does he know about giving out loans? All he knows is how to lie about assets to get loans, and then not pay on your debts and declared bankruptcy.

    He is a shitty, con artist as a businessman, and has no clue when it comes to diplomacy. Can somebody please show this clown the door?

  22. His only skill is bankrupting himself and the country. It would destroy the US economy

  23. This idiot should not talk about loans, ever. He’s defaulted on more loans than Mozambique.

  24. He literally wants to turn the US into a worldwide shakedown racket using the military as his own personal buttonmen.

  25. It’s mind boggling that this complete imbecile became president and has a chance to repeat. I really hope the nation learned from the first time but I’m not optimistic.
