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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago

Such a small man

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] donalonzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month 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 52 points 1 month ago

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

Child rapist.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month 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.

OK grandpa, let's get you to bed.

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His word salad never ceases to amaze me.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

It's more word compost at this point.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 16 points 1 month 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

[–] bstix 15 points 1 month ago

Well, that was fucking waste of time for everyone.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He hasn't touched one since.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That sounds like something the antichrist would say.

[–] Eternal192@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something something false prophets blah blah blah...

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a typical conversation with my mom

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 month ago

He smoked that manifestation mantra a little too hard.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month 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.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 month 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.

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

The trash would be an upgrade (。╯︵╰。)
