Well...that went pretty much as I expected!
This MFer...smh
~$horty~
Forty minutes and two walkouts laterā¦
Iām amazed that there were only two. Canāt decide if that shows remarkable fortitude or remarkable cowardice.
The Iranian delegation did end up leaving the hall, right before Trump asked the room whether he should "annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly" or "drive them into hell."
So, the āwar criminalā moniker is earned.
Trump went on to say a deal would come "right after November's elections." This would be a deal to end the war Congress has already voted three times to end. You would think heād want to end the war sooner to give the Republicans a better chance? But, as always, Trump can only think of himself.
The Cuban delegation left when he told the General Assembly their government "will fall."
Somewhere in between, he celebrated the capture of Venezuela's president as a highlight reel, announced a "large military presence" on Greenland, then walked off to sign the paperwork with Denmark.
He claimed Gaza was over and Ukraine was close. He said the U.S. would push AI ā now branded āsuper intelligenceā ā forward rather than "rein it in."
Per the Daily Beast, one head of state was on his phone and a senior diplomat was losing a fight with sleep. Trump knows the feeling.
Last year he asked what the purpose of the United Nations was.
This year the outgoing secretary-general answered him, in his farewell address: superpowers should recognize āthat their power isn't so super.ā
Because there is power in diplomacy. And Trump is no diplomat.
