While Democrats don't get it because they like to pretend we have an endless pile of money that we can hand out, former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta gets it and may just have delivered the best remarks I have ever seen from a foreign leader on the subject. His remarks have gone viral, and it's easy to see why. He's talking about countries/leaders who are upset about the freeze on the money and that Trump might not just give out blank checks anymore.

Former president of Kenya mocks countries who are upset Trump that said he won’t give blank checks anymore to foreign governments.

“Why are you crying? It’s not your government! He has no reason to give you anything. You don’t pay taxes in America.”

"Why are you crying? It's not your government, it's not your country," he says to cheers from the audience he was speaking on Wednesday at the East Africa Health Security Summit in Mombasa, Kenya.

"He has no reason to give you anything...You don't pay taxes in America. He's appealing to his people," he continued.

"This is a wake-up call for you to say, 'What are we going to do to help ourselves, instead of crying,'" he declared to more clapping.

"What are we going to do, yah, to support ourselves? Because nobody is going to continue holding out a hand there to give you. It is time to use our resources for the right things. We are the ones using them for the wrong things."
