This was almost certainly the best speech delivered to the UN Assembly by an American president going back to at least Ronald Reagan and it may have been the best speech by an American president before the UN Assembly ever.
This speech was excellent. In fact, it was truly epic.
Agree.
I don’t usually watch his speeches, and I was shocked how excellent it was.
We've heard this type of isolating and everyone (and country) for themselves type speeches before. It fails to recognize that throughout history no country can ignore and sit idle by hoping for global issues to resolve themselves... Every attempt to do so usually ends up badly for the US.
We've also observed in recent times that the US often foolhardy intervenes in other countries' affairs with unintended consequences.
As an international business man, i was hoping that Trump would have recognized and implemented a different type of doctrine from which this presidency and future can follow to navigate a gray area middle ground between isolationism and globalism. I guess I was too hopeful. His speech outlines the typical lazy political approach of embracing either end of the spectrum... no different from any other politician of years past. Rarely do embracing the extremes end well for us as a country. Rarely is navigating a gray compromising middle ground easily achievable. Apparently, rarely is there a president capable of not only recognizing that fact but even has the will to try.

As a manager I've learned that no matter how much you don't like peer managers or how much you despise their management style, you cannot achieve what you set out to do avoiding working/coordinating with them. While giving them the proverbial "middle-finger" may feel all mighty and powerful, in the end it will come back to bite you when you need to get stuff done. Again.. as a business man, Trump should know better.
It was an excellent speech. Saw the whole thing. However, I did miss the rock and roll Trump of the rallies and was hoping he'd end the speech by telling the UN that he was raising the rent as their landlord.
It was a speech! The best speech! Trump has words! The best words! In the history of mankind - it was the best! No one has ever given such a speech!
Pitiful.
This is how the President of the United States Of America, who is a citizen, who wants her to succeed, speaks.
I know it sounds foreign to the Barry,"you didn't build that" worshippers, but put aside your bias and hatred for a moment and listen to what he is saying.
He put it in a nutshell what America is about. What her citizens are about. How we will deal with other countries. How other countries may prosper as well without having to resort to corruption.
He is making it clear that they are no longer dealing with corrupt leaders who were stealing from Americans to make their own corrupt leaders wealthy.
Surely if you are pro America you are good with that.
I thought he could have cut the speech in half. I was happy at the 4 minute mark where he essentially gave the middle finger to the globalists and told them why. That was amazing. The last half could have been snipped. This was better material for the upcoming elections.
