Tuesday, President Trump spoke addressed the United Nations General Assembly.

Trump praised North Korea, lambasted Iran, saying he’s considering more sanctions, and made clear he will not apologize for his domestic policy.

Globalism was in his crosshairs, as was foreign aid to countries who wish America harm.

The highlights:

Naturally, the press has seized on one line. Trump’s claim he’s accomplished more than any other president during his first two years in office was met with laughter.

And so the headlines are ranked thusly:

To his credit, Trump laughed it off saying, “he didn’t expect that reaction”, drawing even more laughter.

Sooooooooo refreshing, after eight years of Obama’s anti-American, globalist agenda.

It was a very good speech and well delivered.

It was a strong America First speech. Caught some “ambassadors” by surprise no doubt. He also had a great and natural reaction when he bragged about his first 2 years as being historically accomplished as only Trump can say it. Some laughed. And his reaction was spot on.

    We’ve never accused Trump of excessive humility. And he did a wonderful job in the speech picking up the laughter and turning it into a joke.

      Here’s the clip, and how it was written up. Conveniently, the remark that provoked the laughter is not audible.

      https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7344847/donald-trump-boasts-spark-laughter-un-speech/

      From the article,

      “Praising America’s “booming” economy, the brash billionaire said: “My administration has accomplished more in two years than almost any administration in the history of our country… so true.” ”

      I saw the original speech, and subsequent clips. That little ellipsis is where the audience remark was. He appears to have agreed with it, by responding, “so true”.

      Then he said “I wasn’t expecting that reaction but that’s ok.”

      “His ad-lib prompted a round of applause from the assembled world power brokers.”

Whatever else you want to say about him, there is no denying he puts the country first! Very refreshing.

Anchovy | September 25, 2018 at 6:44 pm

And I saw somewhere, might have been Yahoo, a headline that read something like, “UN members laugh at Trump”.

Actually I just googled UN laughs Trump and got lots of hits from non biased classically trained journalists with the highest possible standards.

Thems some sick puppies.

“We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy”

I’ll believe it when America stops funding that bureaucracy.

    Milhouse in reply to randian. | September 26, 2018 at 1:16 am

    Why? The UN has its uses and deserves some funding, though probably a lot less than it’s getting. But how does that mean we should give it any of our sovereignty? No previous president has done so — not even 0bama, who surely would have if he’d thought he could get away with it — regardless of how much money they threw at it.

Milhouse | September 26, 2018 at 1:18 am

“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country” is certainly an exaggeration, but out of curiosity how many administrations did accomplish more in their first two years?

gourdhead | September 26, 2018 at 8:18 am

Personally, I would not have made the ‘administration accomplishment’ remark but it’s true. The idea that the remark was met with laughter though, is appalling. Most of the laughing hyenas are supported by the U.S… I would like to see these contemptible mooches identified in order to have their aid seriously cut.

thalesofmiletus | September 26, 2018 at 9:48 am

I guess it’s that time again. He always makes these speeches so long. Anyway, here’s a summary of each paragraph of Trump’s 2018 UN speech

34. Fuck you, Iran! I know what you’ve been up to, you garbage-ass regime! All you do is ruin everything else for everyone else, you miserable sons of bitches!

70. Make Your Countries Great Again
71. SOCIALISM. DOESN’T. WORK.
72. Venezuela used to be great, but then along came socialism. Now it sucks.
73. Socialism and Communism have never worked, never will work, and only ever result in tragedy. It’s the Goddamn worst
74. We’re making Venezuela great again by hitting Maduro and his entourage in the pocket books. We were able to identify their pocketbooks because they’re THE ONLY ONES IN THE COUNTRY WHO HAVE THEM
75. The UN tries, we’ll give you that
76. But the US is still better at charity. Seriously, we give and give and nobody ever returns the favor. So we’re gonna be a lot more stingy with our wallets until the entire world stops taking us for a ride
77. So we’re only going to give money to the cool kids. And we’re not going to protect you guys, either. Time for you to buy your own militaries
