President-elect Donald Trump lashed out at the United Nations on Monday days after the Security Council voted to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The president-elect tweeted that the UN has ‘such great potential,’ but it has become ‘just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So sad!’
On Friday, Trump warned, ‘As to the UN, things will be different after Jan 20th.’
The organisation has been accused by some governments of being inefficient and frivolous, while developing nations have said it is overly influenced by wealthier nations.
Trump tweeted later Monday: ‘The world was gloomy before I won — there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10 per cent and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!’
The Standard & Poor’s 500 is up about 6 per cent since Election Day, while the Dow has risen more than 8 per cent.
Finally, Trump took to Twitter again to complain about coverage of his charitable foundation.
He wrote that of the ‘millions of dollars’ he has contributed to or raised for the Donald J. Trump Foundation, all of it ‘is given to charity, and media won’t report’.
