Fox News contributor John Bolton called Donald Trump's speech before the United Nations Tuesday the best of his young presidency.
Bolton, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, praised Trump for his direct denunciation of North Korea's nuclear ambitions and criticism of the Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration.
"This was the best speech of the Trump presidency, in my view," Bolton said. "I think he was as clear and direct as it's possible to be."
Trump said the U.S. would destroy North Korea if forced to defend itself or its allies; Bolton said that was a memorable line.
"I think it's safe to say, in the entire history of the United Nations, there has never been a more straightforward criticism of the behavior, the unacceptable behavior of other member states," Bolton said.
In addition, he said Trump's critiques of the nuclear deal revealed the White House would not tolerate "half-measures and compromises" that allowed Iran and North Korea to progress to the verge of having deliverable nuclear weapons.

“In addition, he said Trump’s critiques of the nuclear deal revealed the White House would not tolerate “half-measures and compromises” that allowed Iran and North Korea to progress to the verge of having deliverable nuclear weapons.”
So what actions is he going to take to stop Iran? Inaction by Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama allowed NK to proceed to the point we are at today. I hope he doesn’t kick the can down the road like those before him...
so nice to have someone who acts presidential at least...
im sure they rest of the world hated it... that makes it even better.
Sorry to disagree but he checked off the neocon to do list exactly like any of the last 3 Presidents. He used more flowery language, but he articulated the exact same objectives as any deep state globalist
Not America First by a long shot
...and it doesn’t look and sound like he has five marbles in his mouth as he tries to talk.
Thats not what I heard at all. The US is a global leader, we have to act like it...we havent since the 80s.
Well it doesn’t seem as if Trump needs to spend time with the old neocons anymore. Just like he had MAGA all figured out years ago, he’s got this too.
anyone else notice Bibi’s wife was smiling through the speech?
It was great, the msm thinks it was horrible, i.e. fake news (the opposite of reality)
Just remember, every time you read about how Ivanka and Jared et al are controlling President Trump there is not one iota of evidence to prove that is true. It is pure NeverTrump propaganda planted in the MSM by liberals and gleefully posted on FR by those looking for confirmation bias that they were right all along about “Trump is not a conservative”, to quote their boy Jeb.
Screw them.
Why not the best speech ever by a president to a world body? Maybe Putin knew it was coming, and didn’t wish to sit and hear it.
global leader ?
That might be where we differ.
I agree with Trump the candidate who said we squandered $6 trillion on the GWOT and only made things worse. I agree with Trump the candidate who said we need to focus inward and rebuild our country.
You are SO full of shit!
Which of the last three Presidents has said ANYTHING even remotely like this?
President Donald Trump: “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. (long pause) From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venuzela, wherever socialism or communism has been adopted it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure.”
Well I do agree on that. GWOT was a complete failure no question. But the US has to hav some kind of leadership, I believe there is a middle ground between GWOT and a total hands off approach.
quote their boy Jeb.
A Tippy Toes afternoon to you Freeper.
Freegards
The only way you have this, is the man having a clear head, a very moral and ethical compass, sober, confident etc.
I’ve said on this forum many times, that we will learn from this man. I don’t care who you are, in time, people from all backgrounds will respect this man, as they did Reagan, probably more so.
Did anyone actually hear the speech? If so, give us your thoughts.
I watched it live.
The Donald minced no words.

Another awesome speech by the President!
middle ground is good.
let’s hope Trump does not get distracted by foreign affairs - there is a big swamp that needs draining
