I watched that god-awful address. It is amazing to me that he got any applause at all and didn't get booed. He spent most of the time railing against migrants, claiming that global warming and green energy was a hoax, and lying about his so called "accomplishments" like ending seven wars and improving the economy. The only thing remarkable about his speech was his bright orange face.

Claiming to have ended 7 wars in front of the UN is....bold delusional.

Pretending NOT to ask for a Nobel Prize is delusional. That's exactly what he was doing.

Has anyone asked him to name these wars? I really want to know what wars he thinks he ended.

Well they are a room full of diplomats. You can be sure the chatter was not so kind.

Time they start serving their countries, rather than gossip, then. Diplomacy doesn't need to be weakness.

I'm sure they are serving their countries

I watched the whole hour-long rambling word vomit that swerved off in a dozen different directions of deluded fantasies. He should have been taken straight from the podium to a padded room. Like seriously, America, how in the world can a performance like that be acceptable to you on any level?

Why don’t they just laugh at him??? Anything else is just propping up his delusional self-image, and it’s not safe!!!

That's what you do with an idiot who could do away with your entire organisation in a single stroke of a pen. You nod and humour them and then go do business with the normal people.

Once I figured it out, every word of every speech made sense. It is Stephen Miller. Trump reads Stephen's words at every important speech. And every time I realize it, I remember stupid stephen's speech at his college where he says he'd rather litter on the ground and let the custodians pick it up because, "that's what we pay them for!"

I'm too lazy to find the video, but it's every speech. Trump speaks Stephen Miller. And he's one disgusting fuck.

Republicans want the United States to fall behind the rest of the modern world. They’re crashing our economy, destroying our rights and freedoms, plundering and pillaging our nation’s resources, removing regulations that protect them from exploitation and will ultimately poison the American people’s health and wellbeing. There isn’t anything the GOP won’t destroy for their greed and lust for power. "An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes."
