The United Nations News Centre — the official U.N. news service — tweeted, then quickly pulled, a post that called for "8 million Americans abroad" to "stop Trump."
The tweet, published at 9:14 p.m. ET on Thursday, urged American expats to share a voter registration tool on the website of the activist organization Avaaz that states, "U.S. Citizens abroad could defeat Trump ... if they voted."
The tweet was deleted within 20 minutes, without explanation.
Ari Gaitanis, chief of the U.N. News Services Section, which oversees the twitter account, said it was a mistake.

Looks like the United Nations is caught up in the U.S. elections bigtime !!
Apparently they Tweeted something about how Americans living abroad should vote against Trump.
Of course they used a common tactic of doing something to get a message out and then deleted it and then claimed it was a simple "mistake" !!
Lots of international triggering this election.
What are they so nervous about anyway?

Mr. Trump had previously questioned the need for the organization, and on Saturday he reiterated his criticism that other NATO countries were “not paying their fair share” in comparison with the United States.
“That means we are protecting them, giving them military protection and other things, and they’re ripping off the United States. And you know what we do? Nothing,” Mr. Trump said at a subdued rally here on the outskirts of Milwaukee. “Either they have to pay up for past deficiencies or they have to get out.”
“And if it breaks up NATO, it breaks up NATO,” he concluded.
“Good luck, folks, enjoy yourself,” he said. “If they fight, that would be terrible, right? But if they do, they do. We can’t be the policemen to the world and have $19 trillion in debt, going up to $21 trillion and we’re sitting on a bubble that’s going to explode and we’re going to all end up you know where.”

The minute he started talking close the border/stop and reverse the flood of illegals and muslim terrorists-my mind was made up.
Nobody had to twist my arm or browbeat me,lol.
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is concerned about an influx of immigrants into the country from African and Asian countries, according to a report Thursday in El Universal.
“Many of them will have to return to their home countries,” Socorro Flores, undersecretary of Latin America and the Caribbean for the Mexican Foreign Ministry, said to El Universal.
-----
The Mexican government is now trying to deal with this influx of immigrants by setting up shelters and working with the countries of origin of the immigrants on deportations.
-----
These immigrants frequently have the goal of heading to the United States and seeking asylum.

Yes, because electing our leaders with the rationale of a 16 y/o girl is the way to go.

Doesn't just apply to 16y/o girls, buddy. Sides... My girls were pretty damn smart at 16.
Personally, I'm tired of all the corn cobb stuffed, uptight suits with no sense of humor and an eye for destroying it's people. Trump is refreshing compared to what I've seen in our 'precious' government over the last ever! I think it's high time for a drastic change and THIS is as drastic as we have available. I'm sick and tired of your snooty know-it-alls who only take this country down, one BS law at a time.
TRUMP for the win!
