From faulty escalator to bad teleprompter, Trump scolds UN for 'not helping'

 “I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble,” these were the introductory words of US President Donald Trump as he took the podium to address the 80^th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

A seemingly bored but calm Trump took issues with the assembly as he spoke on a wider range of topics.

“Six years have passed since I last stood in this grand hall and addressed a world that was prosperous and at peace in my first term. Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents. An era of calm and stability gave way to one of the great crises of our time, and here in the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration that delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters,” Trump went on.

The president accused the UN of having neglected its mandate in ensuring a peaceful world.

He said under his administration, America has retained its respect on the global stage after enduring four years as a global laughing stock.

He said in a record seven months of his reign, he has managed to stop seven unendable wars.

“They said they were unendable, you are never going to get them solved. Some were going for 31 years, two of them. One was 36 years, one was 28 years and in all cases, they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed,” Trump said.

This he said includes Cambodia, Thailand, Kosovo, and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious, violent war that was, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia and Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that and I did it in just seven months,” he said.

Trump said that sadly, his administration had to be involved in these wars instead of the UN.

“Sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal,” Trump said.

He added, “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle…… and a teleprompter that didn't work. These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.”

Trump said the escalator was in a bad shape that if the First Lady was not in great shape, she would have fallen.

“I didn't think of it at the time because I was too busy working to save millions of lives. But later, I realized that the United Nations wasn't there for us. They weren't there. I thought of it really after the fact, not during these negotiations, which were not easy,” he said.

He went on to say, “That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential for the most part, at least for now.”

Trump said all the UN does is to write strongly worded letters and then never follow up.

“It's empty words and empty words don't solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action,” he said.

He said unfortunately, America has never received any credit for stopping these wars.

“everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements. But for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless wars,” said Trump.

He said at the NATO Summit in June, all members formally committed to increased defense spending, at his request, from 2% to 5% of GDP, making the alliance far stronger and more powerful than it was ever before.

While praising himself for tremendous achievements, Trump said in May he traveled to the Middle East to visit his friends and rebuild valued partnerships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

“My administration has negotiated one historic trade deal after another, including with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and many many others,” he said.

He claimed America is blessed with the strongest economy, borders, military, friendships and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth.

This, he said, is indeed the golden age of America that is behind the reversing of the economic calamity he inherited from the previous administration, including ruinous price increases and record-setting inflation.

“Under my leadership, energy costs are down, gasoline prices are down, grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down, and inflation has been defeated,” he told the assembly, adding, “Growth is surging, manufacturing is booming and the stock market, as I said, is doing better than it's ever done.”

He said in the last four months in a row, it was worth noting that the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering America has been zero.

“If you look back just a year ago, it was millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, from prisons, from mental institutions, drug dealers and all over the world. They poured into our country with the ridiculous open border policy of the Biden administration,” he said.

“Our message is very simple. If you come illegally into the United States, you're going to jail, or you're going back to where you came from, or perhaps even further than that. You know what that means,” he added.

He said his administration has no choice but to continue taking out all the illegal migrants.
