Addressing the UN, telling them how shitty they are. Repeating bullshit about President Biden, "ending 7 wars," repeatedly lying about climate change, calling it a "hoax ", etc. I wonder if he's winging it & didn't get the pre-written speech from Miller/Goebbels?
Edited to add he's saying how he promotes free speech here. What the fuck?
The reporting on this should be interesting.

(3,557 posts)Brilliant if it wasn't. It exposed the real Trump to the world.
Not that they didn't know, but at some point it gets so bad even the Republicans can't hide behind it.
My favorite is the 7 wars he ended, then an ever growing list of countries, including conflicts that happened well before his time. And he thinks this will fly?
Really guys, if we can't outsmart this guy it just doesn't make sense.

NJCher
(41,495 posts)Just substitute "cat" for "dog."
I wanted to watch it because I want to watch the rest of the world put up with what we see every. single. day.
Already (watching BBC) showing how they took it. Someone in the audience just said they saw that the U.S. seemed to be happy to hand off its leadership role.

(11,992 posts)He spent that minute telling his lies about how wonderful the US is doing, a warped State of the Union type spiel. I could NOT take it.

(34,147 posts)If they are watching this they see absolutely nothing wrong with how he is behaving and what he is saying, they are thrilled by it and they agree with every word even though they have no clue what hes saying.
Unless they tell their representatives to remove this person who has committed Too numerous to count felonies while in office the last seven months, we are finished😡
JustAnotherGen
(37,090 posts)But here's what I expect to see as headlines:
Trump was very Presidential.
Trumps gives thoughtful speech preaching unity to the UN.
UN Delegates Completely Agree that Trump Deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
We don't have a media - we have propagandists.
NJCher
(41,495 posts)I was watching BBC and they sure as hell weren't saying anything like that.
They were questioning why he would talk about the previous administration.
They observed the U.S. has willingly given up its leadership position with the U.N.
There were other choice bits--wish I would have noted them.

(21,635 posts)I missed the whole thing, so I went googling to find out more about it. Here are some of the headlines that came up I searched "trump un." (I did not take the time to copy and paste links, but you can probably find any of these by googling the headlines, or just google "trump un" like I did to get a sampling.)
CNN: Trump takes shots at UN, climate change and immigration policies in speech
NYT: Trump Attacks U.N. and Lectures Nations in General Assembly Speech: Live
WaPo: Trump says United Nations is not living up to its potential as he addresses organization
NBC News: Trump slams migration, green energy and failures to end wars in U.N. remarks
NY Post: Prez attacks UN leaders to their faces in speech, warns your countries are going to hell
MSBBC: With bizarre remarks at the U.N., Trump embarrasses himself and the United States
While I'm sure the coverage could more hard hitting, and some news outlets are doing a better job than others, most of the majors don't seem to be pretending this was a "normal" speech or saying nice things about it.

(52,731 posts)terrify the world, mission accomplished. Honestly. Blah, blah, blah, every possible gripe including a new one about if he hadn't lost the construction contract on the UN building, they'd now have mahogany walls. Then there were the old standards - windmills bad, oil good - and an odd focus on immigration into European countries. Apparently, Dear Leader is afraid they aren't going to be white enough or something if they let it continue. Why guys with straitjackets hadn't shown up by the end of it, I'll never know.

AverageOldGuy
(2,976 posts). . . the United States of America officially became an international joke. This once proud nation, a nation that for all its faults was a power for good in the world, today became a pariah, something to be avoided and ignored.
One ignorant, stupid, demented, angry old man did it to us. Just one man and one speech.

(7,239 posts)What is he so afraid of?
Well, actually, any one or more of a dozen things.
And in the background . . . "all the colored girls sing doo doo doo" . . . but for some reason it sounds like 'release the Epstein files!' to grandpa.
Donny, take a walk on the wild side! Change your diaper, release those files!
Aussie105
(7,239 posts)Add escalators and teleprompters to that list.
If that is not accidental, it's rather subtle. But effective.
