International Pushback

President Trump’s nominee to lead the United Nations migration agency has been knocked out of the race, the Associated Press reported Friday.

Ken Isaacs came in third behind Antonio Vitorino of Portugal and Laura Thompson of Costa Rica in a vote by delegates in Geneva.

The loss breaks a decades-long streak of Americans leading the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The IOM has been in existence for 67 years. It and its predecessor, came about because of the vast numbers of people displaced in Europe by the Second World War, coupled with the fact that a hell of a lot of those people didn't want to go back to their countries of origin.

Vitorino is only the second non-American to run the IOM.

This will be taken by the Trump Administration as an insult to King Donald I. Expect to see a move by Trump to slash the U.S.'s contribution to the IOM. Or, possibly, Trump will move the U.S. from being a member of the IOM to being an observer, like the nation that is run by his direct supervisor.

No bets, he also reportedly wants to leave the WTO.

If Trump could fit a nation-sized spindizzy to the country and fly it into space, he would in a heartbeat.

Only if he had an angle to make a profit...
