The UN is getting trashed

Trump is trashing the UN and spewing his lies about how great the US is under his leadership, how he has resolved 7 wars that he was told was impossible, how many people say he should get the Nobel Peace Prize but he doesn't do it for the awards he just wants to end the deaths of so many people. I had to stop listening, it was making me want to throw up!

He went into about 10 minutes about how he should’ve done the construction on the UN building

The escalator.
The teleprompter.
Rejecting his garbage proposal to rebuild the UN building.
Biden bad.
UN didn't call him.

This a speech for his adoring MAGA base. No one in that room gives a shit about anything he’s spewing.

and a ceasefire. Every US President, secretary of state and their staff has acted as a broker in trying to get ceasefires or resolve disputes that could become hot. He has actually been LESS successful.

On his list of 7, in some the countries involved did not credit the US, in other countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, the ceasefire never really held. In the case of Thailand and Cambodia, his claim is that he told both to meet.

In the two biggest wars, he has made things worse. In Israel, Netanyahu was or thinks he was given carte blanc to do anything he wants. For anyone who thought Biden too soft on Israel, Trump, especially with his early Gaza, transitioned to be a Palestinian free resort, did not just provide too little of a break, he accelerated the war. On Ukraine, he encouraged Russia by at points making US policy close to Russia's.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.
