Trump Gives the U.N. Seven Minutes of Nonsense
The president is done pretending he cares.
essentially flipped the finger at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday morning,
delivering a speech just seven minutes long—not quite half his allotted time,
in a monotonously hectoring tone that didn’t bother paying even lip service to the body’s international ideals.
Trump railed at China for spreading the COVID-19 pandemic and for ravaging the environment,
claiming that the United States last year lowered carbon emissions more steeply than any other country but gets no credit for it.
He boasted that he had eliminated ISIS “100 percent.”
He claimed that NATO is stronger than ever and that
new American weapons are “at an advanced level like we’ve never had before,
like we’ve never even thought of before,” and claimed that, with this new strength, America is “fulfilling its destiny as a peacemaker,”
citing the deals struck between Serbia and Kosovo as well as the “landmark peace deals” involving Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.
“There is no blood in the sand,” he said, citing a common description of Middle Eastern politics. “Those days are hopefully over.”
Trump trashed the “same tired voices” who had offered “the same tired solutions”—referring, presumably, to his predecessors and to other world leaders.
“I’m proud of putting America First,” he said,Trash first, not America, not Americans
