First he recited the undeniable fact that he’d settled seven “unendable” wars in seven months, which should have been the UN’s job, except that the UN is about as useful as a ninth covid booster for a heart transplant patient:

It's too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations?

The UN is such tremendous potential. I've always said it. But it's not even coming close to living up to that potential. Empty words don't solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action. Very sad to see whether the UN can manage to play a productive role.

It’s almost not worth mentioning, but the speech was ever so slightly marred by minor ‘hiccups.’ Though trivial in the greater picture, UN staff played a trio of childish pranks on President Trump. First, they stopped the escalator just as he and Melania stepped on. Second, they disabled his Teleprompter for the first few minutes of his speech, requiring him to briefly use a printed backup. And third, during the speech, they merged his audio with a translated version, obscuring several minutes of the President savaging the climate hoax.



Their petulant sabotage antics backfired. They became a perfect metaphor for the UN’s intransigence and brokenness, and Trump wielded that metaphor perfectly, drawing the obvious analogy without betraying any hint that any of it troubled him overmuch. “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” he quipped, adding sarcastically, “Thank you very much.”

And the whole world’s leaders just politely sat through —and then applauded— Trump’s devastating critique of the United Nations. The speech —or sermon— announced the sunset of their cherished globalist ideology. The Liliputian resistance was reduced to a handful of impotent pranks that bounced off the President like nerf bullets.
