RESPONSE: Tupac Talks Donald Trump & Greed in America in 1992 Interview - Trump is Right about Foreign Aid

"This world is such a — and when I say this world I mean it, I don’t mean in an ideal sense, I mean in an everyday, every little thing you do — it’s such a, 'Gimme, gimme, gimme! Everybody, back off!' You know, everybody’s taught that from school. Everywhere, big business, 'You want to be successful? You want to be like Trump? Gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push, push! Step, step, step! Crush, crush, crush!' That’s how it all is and it’s like nobody ever stops."...

"For us to be on our own two feet — us meaning youth, us meaning black people, whatever you want to take it for — for us to be on our own two feet we do need help… it’s like, you got a friend that you don’t never look out for," he told MTV News. "Now America got jewels, they’re paid and everything. Lending money to everyone except us. And it’s like, everybody needs a little help on their way to being self-reliant."

4. Trump is Right about foreign aide.

First off, the US gives the most...


Forbes points out that nearly the entire world gets a portion of this cash and some for inexplicable reasons:
U.S. Gives Financial Aid to 96% of All Countries

The UN boasts 193 members, and the U.S. provided economic assistance to 184 of them, or 96% of the countries in the world. To be sure, the amount of assistance drops significantly after the top 10 countries or so, but still.… Of course, State Department officials might claim that some of that money is to help the poor. But China has the second largest economy in the world—and is a major buyer of U.S. debt. So we borrow money from China in order to give them financial assistance?
It is argued that the US could give more percentage wise and we are not at the top of that list, but as Trump rightly has pointed out, we spend a great deal protecting other countries and that doesn't get factored into this...
