&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Elon Musk has spoken what leftist-globalist organizations making billions off the U&period;S&period; taxpayer are terrified of hearing – that America needs to leave them&period; Is it high time to rid the country of NATO and UN&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The left along with many softcore conservatives has feared President Trump’s unhappiness with the globalist NATO and UN for years&period; Firebrand conservatives&comma; on the contrary&comma; have supported the idea&period; In 2023&comma; Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of GA called for leaving NATO and proposed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act &lpar;NDAA&rpar; toward that end&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Leftist news machinery like <em>Newsweek<&sol;em> was quick to argue against the proposal and tried to revive the debunked narrative of Trump favoring Putin against the west by withdrawing from NATO&period;

gay marriage&comma; climate activism&comma; and DEI policies&comma; to name some&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">One of the first things Trump did on stepping back into the Oval Office is withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization &lpar;WHO&rpar;&comma; the key UN health agency&comma; as well as ordering a review of America’s funding for the UN in general&period; The measures were part of Trump’s commitment to cut waste for which he created the special department of DOGE&comma; headed by Elon Musk&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">On Saturday &lpar;1st of March&rpar;&comma; Musk replied to a post on X &lpar;Twitter&rpar;
