Does anyone think like me, that he'll evict the United Nations before this is over?

Turn the New York Headquarters into high end condos and office space to make America rich.
Would Congress roll over and watch? I can certainly see him trying, but I don't know how he would go about it.

The United Nations Headquarters in New York City is owned by the United Nations organization itself, representing its 193 member nations. While located in New York, the 18-acre site is international territory with special legal status, often considered extraterritorial, and not subject to local, state, or federal laws.

The land the UN building is on is considered international territory. The idiot wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on He may try but it will be unsuccessful.

However, I doubt it will happen. If it does, however, the USA will become an isolated big country that gets little to no global respect or cooperation.

The key will be getting Trump out of the White House. We must do that.
