Trumps UN -Rede war für Amerika beschädigt

**From Zeeshan Aleem, MSNBC opinion writer/editor:**

In President Donald Trump’s first speech to the United Nations General Assembly in 2017, he casually threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea. That wasn’t exactly an outlier. All his addresses to the General Assembly during that first term were crude, and at times shocking, pieces of “America First” oratory. But the speech Trump delivered Tuesday, which was more “Trump First” than “America First,” may have been the most blatantly *humiliating* one yet, as far as America’s reputation is concerned. Even more so than usual, Trump was bogged down by constant frivolous tangents and a fixation on trumpeting, often deceptively, what he counts as his accomplishments. And given that the backdrop of Trump’s speech is his all-out assault on democracy in his own country, his lecturing world leaders on how to run a great nation was shocking in its audacity.

Trump peppered his remarks with constant petty asides about the United Nations’ New York headquarters, where he delivered Tuesday’s speech. He joked that someone was going to be in “big trouble” for an apparently malfunctioning teleprompter. He repeatedly complained about a stalled escalator that had forced him to exert more energy than should have been necessary.

More significantly, he worked to undermine the credibility of the U.N. as an institution for peacekeeping and global governance. Everyone knows that the U.N.’s ability to enforce international law and produce binding resolutions is weak. But Trump’s specific attempt to prosecute this argument involved reprising a set of absurd and misleading talking points.

Every day things get even stupider

But he is always right. Look how immigration ruined our country. Specifically, the immigration of T’s mother and both T’s father’s parents.

Psst, America!

Honey, you can do better. 

Your new guy is dumb and obnoxious, and I’m pretty sure he’s stealing from you. He’s driving away your friends, and he’s not even hot. 

Dump that loser! 

It’s also humorous in many ways and humor is a very effective and non-violent weapon against fascists!

He was more upset about having to walk up a few steps when an escalator broke than anything else! And that is funny! His „Airing of grievances“ to the world was also funny and laughter is the best response to his constant mouth diarrhea.

Its ok to laugh at a clown.

Do writers of such articles realize half the country is in a cult and love everything he does? They approve of him grabbing women by the pussy, they approve of him leading a coup, shitting on the Constitution, hanging around with pedophiles, being a racist, etc.

They are not mortified, they are thrilled.

I mean I’m in the States, we’re past whatever mortifying is.

We’re in the „I’m in Danger“ phase.

There’s no speech he could give that would make him MORE mortifying than he has been this term.

On the contrary. I am glad it happened. I am glad it brought what’s going on in the USA to the attention of people who had been sleeping through it.

I sincerely hope that the international community starts calling their politicians and telling them to talk to their counterparts in the US government (Especially the GOP) that they have worked with in the past and asking them if they’ve lost their minds. They won’t listen to the voters, but they might listen to their contemporaries.

Anybody even remotely in touch with reality could have rattled off a better address to a room full of some of the worlds most powerful people.

That everybody sat through an hour of broken escalators, the how marble is better than terrazzo and how their countries are going to hell is a testament to the decorum, and dignity of every single individual in that room, except for the one droning on about renovation budgets.

This entire year has been the most embarrassing year in American history. Sadly I think it’s just the warm up.

Even for Trump, that was bad. Dude went full on Grandpa Simpson about the escalator and fucking marble for some reason. Beyond cringe.

America has never been as weak as it is today.

Never.

I was randomly at a deli getting coffee. He was on the tv, going on about marble floors….for the 5 or so minutes it took, he made no sense, and I was amazed that he was surrounded by the world’s leaders, blathering on like he was surrounded by his mouth breathing red hats.

Oh, to be a multilingual fly on the wall for any and all of the conversations afterward.

The other folks in the deli were equally appalled…no matter your political bent, THIS is what we bring to the UN ?

Vlad has to call his doctor, he has an erection lasting more than four hours……

Shouldn’t the title be „Trump’s mortifying U.N. speech was pretty darn normal for America“?

Every day I think he has gone as low as he can and then he goes lower.
