It’s hard to think of another moment since the inception of the United Nations in the aftermath of World War II, where the world body was taken to the carpet to the extent it was via Donald Trump‘s speech on September 23.
It was blistering … and long overdue.
It started with a humorous, yet ominous, welcome to Trump to the UN as an escalator conveniently stopped operating just as he and the first lady took their first steps upon it.
Thereafter, his Teleprompter goes dead just as he starts his speech.
What are the odds that these highly unlikely events just so happened to occur at those particular moments? Had either one of these events happened on its own, we might have sloughed it off. But both of them? An investigation must ensue to see if any type of sabotage was involved.
It wouldn’t be surprising, since Trump has been a thorn in the side of the UN elite since he walked down the escalator to announce his candidacy in 2015.
Trump has the chutzpah to call a spade a spade and to call out the UN’s enormous hypocrisy when it comes to Israel, climate change and immigration, to name just a few items.
The UN, which is now dominated by Third World Muslim nations and the axis of evil of China and Russia, has issued more condemnations of Israel than all other nations combined. That’s a tall order, given the fact that China continues to subjugate Uyghurs to concentration camps.
Trump lashed out at many of our allies who decided to take the totally indefensible position of recognizing Palestine as an independent state while getting absolutely nothing in return. This has been a concession that has long been cherished by the Palestinians. Decades of failure for the Palestinians culminated in success only after they murdered 1,200 Jews on October 7, 2023.
The message is clear: Kill Jews and get rewarded.
If the boneheaded leaders of England, France, Canada and Australia were going to grant this recognition, couldn’t they at least have demanded that Hamas release the hostages in exchange?
Then Trump tore into the UN, and Europe in particular, for its open borders. He showed the world just how easy it is to close your borders if you have the will to do so. Time and time again in his speech, Trump properly raised the phrase “politically incorrect.”
The elites of Europe and the UN love to talk about how politically correct and humane they are in opening their borders, but as Trump noted, they are ruining their countries. What an incredible moment as an American president was speaking on behalf of forgotten Europeans who can’t say what he did, for fear of being arrested in today’s fascist Europe.
And then there was climate change. Trump may go a step too far in calling climate change a scam, since the world’s temperatures are increasing. However, there is a con job in place when people like AOC try to scare the world into thinking there’s only 12 years less left before our extinction. But we can be saved, say the alarmists, if only we cede trillions of dollars to AOC and the Marxist elites around the world to spend this money as they see fit to “calm the seas.”
Well, what have these policies done for the free world? As Trump noted, they destroyed European economies while making our adversaries in China richer. All while the world’s carbon footprint increased due to China and India burning coal with abandon. (Ironically, the U.S. carbon footprint went down because of our switch to cleaner natural gas.)
Then, there’s the hypocrisy of the Europeans closing down their nuclear and coal plants, and their gas and oil exploration, while agreeing to buy gas from their enemies in Russia. Trump noted the insanity of this policy and stuck it in their faces as they were forced to sit and listen to his chiding of them..
Trump shamed these morons.
The question is whether they’ll change their ways. Even if they’re not likely to do so on their own, perhaps Trump‘s words got through to the masses in Europe, who will rise up understanding that there’s at least someone somewhere out there — even if it’s thousands of miles across an ocean — who is willing to speak up on their behalf, when their own leaders will not.
