    That speech is one of the most pathetic diatribes I've ever seen. Totally amateur, non factual and un-presidential like.

    Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

    Haven't been watching, but I'm reading it was total car crash stuff - conducted the speech as if he was addressing a Trump rally full of MAGA heads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    had to put it off, it was just his usual rally speech to MAGA

    Absolutely disgusting speech by Trump. He has brought the US so low.

    I wouldn't waste my time ! He's hitched his wagon to the Trump Train so he has squandered any credibility he might have had.

    Counted about 10 lies in the first 2-3 minutes of the speech.

    Great banter. Just enjoy it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭Beric Dondarrion


    WTF was that??!!? Absolute drivel, nonsense and lies….a world leader is given the opportunity to address the UN and proceeds to s**t all over them and spread lies and untruths whilst incessantly banging their own drum...SMH.

    Never forgave him for signing off on the Trump baby blimp.

    We're watching a US President in active cognitive decline. Don't think he'll see out his Presidency.

    Trump: "I'm really good at predicting things. During the campaign they had a hat -- a best-selling hat -- 'Trump was right about everything.' And I don't say that in a braggadocios way, but it's true. I've been right about everything."

    As usual with MAGA, he's either delusional or intentionally being an a-hole.

    Just in case people forgot this was the same Trump that thought you would get rid of Covid by injecting bleach.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,211 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    Putin is laughing his ass off at his stooge doing his bidding.

    The maga crowd should be embarrassed by this if they had any sense of decency or integrity left but they've gone so far down the rabbit hole they can't do anything else but defend the indefensible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,451 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    He just freestyled 40 minutes over his allotted time. Absolute drivel but cant deny his energy.

    About time someone called out the UN for their people emigrating campaigns which damage the western world and make people smugglers very rich.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,416 ✭✭✭mountain


    I watched until he started on about not getting the contract to do the UN building,

    He’s a bitter, vengeful, grudge bearing, grifting dangerous man.
    America has fallen into a deep dark hole



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,451 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    That was hilarious.

    The unforturnate coincidence with that particular curative bollox, is that there is a not insignificant amount of quacks and crackpots who push that as a cure for autism too.

    he has dementia and is a malignant narcissist. He lives in the a completely different reality. Up on the big stage, glowing orange, telling lies. Everybody is wrong, only he is right.

    He also told his people to inject themselves with bleach as a protection against Covid.How has the US come to this?He is drunk with his perceived power.Don't think he will ever attain the rank of Emperor.

    What an utter embarrassment Trump is - how the people who voted for this simpleton can look themselves in the mirror is beyond me

    Imagine putting the UN translators through that utter drivel from him. I would not be surprised if some of the translations were along the lines 'No point in translating as he spews bollox every time he opens his gob'.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭Illusory


    So Trump wasted no time in putting the UN on full blast, mocking their ineffectual existence. Good for him.

    Daddy's home, kids. And he's NOT happy.

    Trump's attacking European governments for not cracking down in immigration is the one issue on which he will get support in Europe, from the likes of Farage, Tommy Robinson, Le Pen, and others.

    He may be a clownm but he does have a certain low-level cunning and an ability to appeal to the very worst in people.

    Unusually for me I wasn't being literal! I suspect everybody in the Trump admin knows their days are numbered if they don't dance to his tune - not an easy one to dance to given the level of ad libbing 😀. Trump wouldn't want RFK to piss off big doners - I assume the farming lobby and pesticide manufacturers would fall into that category.

    "The U.N. has tremendous potential...but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential. All they seem to do is write...empty words. And empty words don't solve war. The only thing that solves war is action."

    "To every terrorist thug smuggling poisonous drugs into the United States of America, please be warned — we will blow you out of existence."

    I didn’t see it, and he's not wrong. Were the world leaders crying, or just looking like deer caught in headlights?

    I've been stunned by the Tylenol/autism announcement given the lack of scientific proof. I can't fathom how a president can make that sort of claim on so few facts.

    Here's my question - why did he do it? I'm struggling to see what motivated him to make that announcement. I read about the Doctor Oz/iHerb/folinic acid link but that seems to be a red herring. Anyone got any idea why he's gone and done something so seemingly reckless?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,827 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Earlier, President Trump claimed to have "ended seven wars and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people killed".

    He listed seven "wars" including between Egypt and Ethiopia.

    However, there was no "war" here for the president to end.

    There have long been tensions though over a dam on the River Nile.

    Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam was completed this summer with Egypt arguing that the water it gets from the Nile could be affected.

    After 12 years of disagreement, Egypt's foreign minister said on 29 June that talks with Ethiopia had ground to a halt.

    Trump said: "If I were Egypt, I'd want the water in the Nile." He promised that the US was going to resolve the issue very quickly.

    Egypt welcomed Trump's words, but Ethiopian officials said they risked inflaming tensions.

    No formal deal has been reached between Egypt and Ethiopia to resolve their differences.

    More world class spoofing by the orange arse.

    Just on Monsanto, glyphosate's link to cancer is as tenuous as Tylenol's to autism. No surprise to me RFK was involved in both.

    Roundup was licensed for use for another 10 years in the EU in 2023, the cases in America are a crock of sh1t imo.

    The guy is crackers.
