"Donald Trump delivered a shambolic crapsack of a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York today, blowing past his allotted 15 minutes and ranting for nearly an hour about how immigration and clean energy will ruin Europe and all the other good countries, admonishing the assembled diplomats, 'I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.'”

PERRY: Trump's UN rant was a study in delusion, contempt and disinformation

‘Every cogent Republican and even his own brown-nosing staff gasped and cringed throughout the harangue as Trump embarrassed himself, his supporters, the nation and human kind’

Despite its limitations and frequent criticism, the United Nations remains a vital global institution that, while rarely solving crises outright, plays an essential role in exposing problems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/09/26/the-painful-display-at-the-united-nations/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #unitednations #ungeneralassembly #donaldtrump #shigeruishiba

"Today, Donald addressed the United Nations and his speech was, as is usually the case, deeply unhinged. He told so many lies that it was almost impossible to keep track of them all. Much of what he had to say made no sense whatsoever. I want to walk through a some of the most emblematic moments illustrating the ways in which Donald is humiliating this country on the world stage."

"Trump was given 15 minutes to address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. He spoke for 57 excruciating minutes that felt like days."

"On Tuesday, Trump delivered one of the most offensive, counterproductive, dishonest, ignorant, and embarrassing speeches ever to sully the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations. In sinking to that nadir, Trump surpassed the shameful performances of Muammar Gaddafi, Nikita Khruschev, Fidel Castro, and Yasser Arafat."
