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.”

Yeah, let’s make a UN meeting all about me and my domestic politics rivals, that’ll show the world my stature as a world leader.

[-] prole 8 points 1 week ago

Such a small man

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

The worrying thing is that when he did this last time everyone laughed. No laughter this time...

[-] donalonzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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?

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

You and your people turned the world into hell. And still going.

Child rapist.

[-] AlecSadler 32 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

If Hell is where he isn't, then boy am I glad to go there.

OK grandpa, let's get you to bed.

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 5 points 1 week ago

That's ok. Most serious problems will happen after he starts talking about Walmart-Alabama war.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

Walmart could win that war simply by closing all of its stores in and around Alabama.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Walmart is based on Bentonville, Arkansas, right next door to Alabama. A lot of bad blood there, going back generations. Something to do with marrying cousins, and a moonshine rivalry.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

He just took credit for solving the Cambodia-Armenia war. They are 4000 miles apart.

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

His word salad never ceases to amaze me.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

It's more word compost at this point.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 15 points 1 week ago

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

Americans need to go in the trash. Genocidal Nazi pedophile nation.

[-] TotallynotJessica 11 points 1 week ago

The trash would be an upgrade (。╯︵╰。)

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

Too much internet time for you, little guy. Take a break and drink some water.

[-] WeeSheep@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago
[-] b161 22 points 1 week ago

What are you, a cop?

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 14 points 1 week ago

Well, that was fucking waste of time for everyone.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Vupware@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago
[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I wonder if he has learned how to hold the bible the right side up yet?

[-] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

He hasn't touched one since.

[-] Eternal192@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Wait? We're "going" to hell? i thought we were already there...

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Something something false prophets blah blah blah...

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Time for Jesus to move over, there's a new High Prophet in town!

[-] Marshezezz 2 points 1 week ago

Sounds like a typical conversation with my mom

[-] F_State@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

Biden was mediocre and not the president we needed but the only disaster he led us into was another Trump presidency.

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

He smoked that manifestation mantra a little too hard.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

My forehead is sore from all the face-palming this man makes me do.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 1 points 1 week ago

The only prosperity he brings is for his billionaire buddies. Everybody not at least multimiljonair is in the "don't care" category

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

You know the difference between a million and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.

To billionaires, millionaires look just as poor as the rest of us. They can't imagine trying to live on only a million dollars.

Millionaires may think they are in the Rich Guys Club, but when the Sociopathic Oligarchs have bled us dry, they'll go for the millionaires next.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Too bad we can't buy him for what he's worth and then sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

World poverty would be solved.
