You are reacting like if it's a child talking to other child.

What about other countries? Your single anecdote doesn’t disprove anything not to mention you are arguing the point no one is making. Even trying to bring Obama into this as if trump did any better.

BorderPatrol saysThis right here tells you how much trump fails as the country leader. All that money spent buying their votes are wasted because trump has a big mouth and zero diplomatic skill.
And that statement shows just how little you understand of the situation! Obama’s gave untold billions to Pakistan, escalating payments to unchallenged heights to get them to stop the extremists sending fighters into Afghanistan. This failed miserably, as the Pakis realized they could promise America anything and then fail to deliver and still get even more money!
The fact is that in certain regimes, paying off the leaders to achieve foreign policy goals is ineffective. This is most true in nations with more democracy, where paying off dictators is more or less a sure bet.
But you are correct that we should cease aid to these countries since it’s ineffective and they continue to ...
