UNITED NATIONS--

President Donald Trump delivered a sharp rebuke of global governing at the United Nations on Tuesday, drawing headshakes and even mocking laughter from fellow world leaders as he promoted his aggressive "America First" agenda and boasted of America's economic and military might.

Trump arrived late, forcing a last-minute scheduling switch, then received polite applause but also blank stares as he took his blustery brand of policies to the annual General Assembly.

Speaking in triumphal terms, Trump approached the address as an annual report to the world on his country's progress since his inauguration. He touted economic figures, declared that the U.S. military is "more powerful than it has ever been before," and crowed that in "less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."

Five sentences into the president's remarks, the audience began to chuckle and some leaders broke into outright laughter, suggesting the one-time reality television star's puffery is as familiar abroad as it is at home. Appearing briefly flustered, Trump smiled and joked that it was not the reaction he expected "but that's all right."

The Globalist Elite have once again shown their true feelings about America.

They can all go f#@* themselves and move their corrupt UN to Geneva.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

The UN needs to move out of the US.

To get really good at understanding politically correct global warming, UN needs to move to North Pole.

[and move their corrupt UN to Geneva.]

Funny you should mention that. I have often wondered, lately, if the United Nations will relocate to Europe or the Middle East?

I'm not saying it will happen. Given their "global" agenda, I mean and the fact that Bible prophecy shows that the Middle East will be the world's focus at the End Times. I through Europe in there, too, for a couple of reasons. Not the least of which the European Union's "Tower of Babel" is in France. So, admittedly, this is just speculation.

It’s the League of Nations Part Deux. And will be just as successful.

What gets me is these idiots are here on our soil making fun of the leader of the country that funds their lavish lifestyle.

Not smart to poke the bear.

That was NOT a blustery speech—it was well written and well delivered.
