Charlie Sykes on that batshit UN speech:
Not since Uganda’s Idi Amin, festooned in a gold embroidered dark green uniform, ranted from the podium1 has the United Nations seen anything quite as weird and embarrassing as Wednesday’s performance by the American president.
As representatives of more than 190 nations sat in mostly stunned silence, Donald Trump told them their countries “were going to hell,” bragged about his poll numbers, made a pitch for the Nobel Prize, whinged about the escalator and teleprompter, bragged about blowing up boats, attacked windmills (again), declared that he was “right about everything,” lashed out at the mayor of London, meandered through a parade of lies, and generally made sh*t up.
Most news accounts don’t come close to capturing it, as much of the media seems intent on sane-washing Trump’s performance, using words like “scathing” or “meandering,” because headline writers shy away from words like “unhinged,” “deranged,” “unstable,” “crazed,” certifiable — and are generally reluctant to point out that the President of the United States is a crack-brained elderly man-child shouting at windmills and clouds.
