Donald Trump's speech to the United Nations was one of the clearest expositions of the way he sees the world, his ideology in its rawest form.
To his supporters, it will be seen as Trumpism unplugged; to his critics, Trumpism unhinged.
Over almost an hour, he took aim at his opponents and their ideas, picking them off one by one as he toured the world. He began at home, praising the United States and himself. He said the US was living through a golden age and repeated his much-disputed claim that he had personally ended seven wars, something he argued merited a Nobel Peace Prize.
But then the president laid into his hosts. The UN, he said, had not helped his peace-making. He questioned the organisation's purpose, saying it had tremendous potential but was not living up to that. All it did, he claimed, was write strongly worded letters that it did not follow up. Empty words, he said, did not end wars.
He also attacked the UN for the aid it gave to asylum seekers hoping to enter the US, saying "The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them." The president even attacked the UN for a broken escalator and teleprompter that disrupted his visit and speech.
On one level, he has a point. Many analysts question the effectiveness of the UN in resolving conflict these days, pointing in particular to gridlock in the Security Council and the body's unresponsive bureaucracy.
But on another level Trump can be seen himself a cause and symptom of the UN's lack of effectiveness; for he believes global crises are best resolved by powerful men like him getting together and hammering out a deal, not using multilateral bodies like the UN to work out collective solutions...

Best US president in 150 years.
The UN has failed and the British press blames it on the USA.
But we'll still give them more than twelve billion dollars, and we'll still let them infest our land ...
These days??? The UN has been ineffective since 1945 when it was created. There is no reason why the US hosts 193 foreign nations. Send them packing back home. Get the US out of the UN, and throw the UN out of the US.
Trump: “The UN, he said, had not helped his peace-making. He questioned the organisation’s purpose, saying it had tremendous potential but was not living up to that. All it did, he claimed, was write strongly worded letters that it did not follow up. Empty words, he said, did not end wars.”
Leftists: “He is exactly right. That’s why we need a one world government!”
Ditto
I would have said, “I mean you once had a real frickin’ Nazi as Secretary-General.”
I’m proud that our President wasn’t afraid to speak the truth to these evil people. Maybe no one has ever told them what they are ever in their wicked lives, they need to hear if from someone.
Let them wail and gnash their teeth.
What an incredible speech! This is what I voted for.
in the top 3 of the last 150 years anyway, with Reagan and Coolidge
Yeah, Trump didnt go to the UN Hamas loving central to kiss their ass, instead he told them where they can all shove it. A bunch of Jew hating, pro hamas loving sacks of poo. Ive been saying for as long as I can remember to take the UN building and have apts for homeless Vets they deserve it
Unacceptable. We are lucky the U.N. staff didn't coordinate with chemical energy of some sort; apparently they had free run of the place and knowledge of when and where the president would be.
The U.N. building should be shut down and everyone evacuated until the escalators can be removed, repaired, and reinstalled.
Authorities can call the staff back from their home countries when it is clear for them to return to work.
The UN is just a precursor to the anti-Christ’s one world government. It is a wretched hive of evil, and satan fears those who threaten his evil plans - thus the escalator ‘attack’ on Trump to try to stop him from speaking truth the satanists gathered there. It really is the forces of good vs. the forces of evil, folks. Thank you Jesus for having mercy on us and giving us Pres. Trump to push back against the forces of evil !!
Actually, they did laugh - but it was when he wanted them to.
What a new dawn juxtaposed the 46,
46, the fake president.
Poor BBC haz a sad....
