Trump: 'What Is the Purpose of the United Nations?'
Fox News ^ | September 23, 2025 | Eric Mack

Posted on 09/23/2025 9:01:58 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Watched by the world, President Donald Trump returned to the United Nations on Tuesday, delivering a blistering rebuke of his predecessor and the U.N.

"Six years have passed since I last stood in this grand hall and addressed a world that was prosperous and at peace in my first term," Trump said at the outset of his speech, despite a broken teleprompter. "Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents, an era of calm and stability gave way to one of the great crises of our time.

"And here in the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters."

World leaders listened closely to his remarks at the U.N. General Assembly, as Trump hailed the settling of seven wars without the help of the U.N.

"It's never happened before," Trump said. "It's never been anything like that. Very honored to have done it. It's too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.

"And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal."

Trump quipped that a broken escalator and faulty teleprompter symbolized the U.N.'s dysfunction.

"All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle," Trump said. "If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen.

"But she's in great shape. We're both in good shape. We both stood.

Lol! You missed this part.

“Everyone thought Russia would win the war in three days – but it didn’t work out that way. It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish. It’s not making Russia look good. It’s making them look bad. No matter what happens from here on out, this was something that should have taken a matter of days, certainly less than a week. And they’ve been fighting for three and a half years.”

“All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle,” Trump said.

And the teleprompter failed too when he was about to give his speech.
Escalator and trlrprompter BOTH fail when Trump is using them?
By chance?
Nope.

“ By chance?”

I agree. Definitely not. What the left does not know is that President Trump speaks much better when he is not reading the teleprompter than when he is.

Additionally, Trump walks up all the steps to Air Force One multiple times a week. Many people his age might have a problem if the escalator stopped in the middle, but not President Trump.

Wonderful question every organization must ask of itself in an ongoing basis in order to be effective and relevant. Simple measures are the best.

The scumbags at the UN were hoping Trump would have fallen down and hurt himself, like Puppet Biden when he tripped walking up the stairs to Air Force One.

It was deliberate sabotage.

Trump went no holds barred scorched earth. He let the world’s leftists know their immigration and energy policies are destroying their cultures and economies. Good job DJT. Expect the media to explode.

PDJT is a regular golfer. That explains his vitality. Golf transformed me from several health issues at age 55 to zero health issues now at age 85.

Mr. President, just close the place down already and make it Trump Towers East.
