Donald Trump was not yet two minutes into his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly of his second term when he credited himself for having single-handedly forged a world “that was prosperous and at peace.”

He was, of course, referring to his first term, which led into a screed about how the president who both followed and preceded him, Joe Biden, squandered it all … largely by not being him.

Then, in what became just the first of many instances of denigrating the country he once again leads — on one of the biggest stages in the world — the 47th president groused about how “four years of weakness, lawlessness and radicalism” under the Biden administration had “delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters.”

      I can’t wait to hear all squabbles and all the arch nemesis of every single leader of every nation on Earth. The U.N. is going to be a soap opera and we’ll like it. Next season we’ll get the resurrected brother of Yoweri Museveni coming back to marry his political opponent.

      What, you expect someone in his mental state to adapt his message to the context of the meeting?

    When this guy dies, regardless of how and regardless of the irrecoverable state of the US at the time, I am going to throw a huge fucking party.

    I don’t believe in hell, and i don’t believe in no messiah either.

    Especially when that’s claimed by a paedophle, failed business man and 30x convicted felon

    Clearly the rest of the world doesn’t want to give him credit for solving the war between “Aberbaijan” and Albania.

    He sounds like the priest looking to save the parishioner via a certain ‘ritual’.
