Trump at the UN: Key Quotes

On North Korea and Iran:

"The United States has great patience and strength, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will totally destroy North Korea," he said.

"'Rocket man' is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime," Trump added of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "The United States is ready, willing and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary."

"No one has shown more contempt for other nations and the well-being of their own people than the depraved regime of North Korea. It is an outrage that some nations would trade with such a regime."

...

Trump also took aim at Iran, calling the global deal regarding its nuclear weapons program "an embarrassment to the United States."

"The Iranian regime's support for terror is in stark contrast to the recent commitments of several of its neighbors to halt the funding of and fighting terrorism," he said. "Oppressive regimes can not endure forever. And the day will come when people will face a choice."

On Venezuela:

"[President Nicolas] Maduro has inflicted terrible pain and suffering on good people of his country," Trump said during a speech before the United Nations General Assembly. "The United States has taken important steps to hold the regime accountable. We are prepared to take further action if the government of Venezuela persists on its path to impose authoritarian rule on the Venezuelan people."

He added, "The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented," which garnered little applause from the world body.

"I ask every country represented here today to be prepared to do more to address this very real crisis," Trump said. "We call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in Venezuela."

He also added:

"From the Soviet Union to Cuba, Venezuela -- wherever through socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish, devastation, and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems. America stands with every person living under a brutal regime."

Benjamin Netanyahu was effusive about the speech:

"In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech," Netanyahu tweeted.

President Trump spoke the truth about the great dangers facing our world ... and issued a powerful call to confront them in order to ensure the future of humanity."

Via Twitchy, which is rounding up all the Blue Checkmark Mafia reactions, Democrat flunkies and the media (but I repeat myself) are rather less impressed.


Isn't this the same party calling for a full War on Russia every day?


For people who swear (fingers crossed!) that they're not socialists, they sure spend a lot of time defending thuggish socialists, don't they?


I guess Israel isn't our ally. Certainly that's the feeling one got from Obama and his failed novelist propagandist Rhodes.

And of course we had to hear from Grandstandin' Jim:


Video: The various thugs, communists, and socialists of the UN react rather poorly to Trump's speech.

It's like looking out over a sea of Jim Acostas.

24 Good for Trump for saying it right to everyone's faces.

I will admit that it is a personality, well, I prefer awesome to flaw of mine that when people are being passive aggressive nasty to me and I reply by calling them out on what they are really saying, that being told I am being rude makes me furious.

It's like how in the NFL it's the second guy who throws a punch who gets flagged.


America isn't threatening to blow people up. America isn't shooting missiles over other countries. That would be North Korea. Replying that if you start a war, we will finish it does not make us the bad guys.

100 I'm not sure how many allies the US still has to be alienated by this.

England? Gone.
France? Gone.
Africa? Gone.
Saudi Arabia?
Japan?
South Korea?

Australia and New Zealand weren't alienated.
India? I don't think they have ever been 'allies'.
China? An Ally, It is to laugh.

Scandinavia? Sweden, gone. Norway/Finland ?
Italy? Over run.
Greece? broke, busted, disgusted, and invaded, debased and debauched.

South America hates the US and they all want to live here.

Nope, this is Steyn's 'America Alone'; Heinlein's crazy years.

Posted by: joe, living dangerously at September 19, 2017 02:38 PM (KUaJL)


Yes. They were appalled by how bellicose and rude Reagan was to the Soviets. Just like how the media and Democrats are appalled by how bellicose and rude Trump is to the Norks and Iran.

Sweden. Is. Not. Socialist. It's a high-tax welfare state, true, but it is not a socialist state. Socialism is the public ownership of the means of production. There are some publicly owned enterprises in Sweden but there are also private concerns. Sweden is not an example of socialism; Sweden is an example of welfare-statism.

110 Just read the transcript of his speech to the UNGA. Granted this speech was given in front of a bunch of 3rd world despots who use their time as a UN representative of their country to not live in the shithole from which they came.

But I certainly give this speech an "A". One more step in showing the world (and America) that a more-of-an-adult-than-Obama is now in charge. We won't be seeing Trump bow down before any of these clowns.

His quote on socialism is awesome. May it be repeated often and committed to memory.

Another plus - reminding everyone there that we - the US taxpayers - foot 22%+ of the total funding for the UN. They need to be reminded of that often as well. Perhaps even drop it to 20% or 18% just to show them we mean business.

I took them around and explained what lawyers really do and what paralegals really do and how it wasn't like tv at all and was boring but we helped people blah blah whateverhands.

Apparently, I did such a good job that the people called the office the next year and asked specifically that I do it because the girls loved it so much.

And that is the story about how I ended up being in charge of herding a group of young humans around every year to explain how a legal office worked.

They probably didn't elect Maduro this last time. And they clearly voted in a legislature with a majority in the opposition, which is why he just held the "constitutional referendum" for a "constituent assembly" to draft a new constitution. They did elect Chavez to begin with, but I think the majority has learned its lesson. After all, we elected Obama twice.

Forget "trade". Anyone who gave humanitarian assistance to the Norks was only helping the Kims and the Norks' continued assault on civilization. Feeding the Norks so that the Nork government doesn't have to worry about that is nothing short of aiding and abetting the Nork government.

Humanitarian aid to any country with an evil, insane government is not only counter-productive but downright destructive to the rest of the world. The Norks should have been left to starve and anyone who gave them humanitarian aid should have been cut off, themselves, from trade and normal relations with us.

There are a lot of reasons for this "brain drain" but one big one is the designation of "Hispanics" as an Oppressed Group eligible for AffAction preferences.

Sweden. Is. Not. Socialist. It's a high-tax welfare state, true, but
it is not a socialist state. Socialism is the public ownership of the
means of production. There are some publicly owned enterprises in Sweden
but there are also private concerns. Sweden is not an example of
socialism; Sweden is an example of welfare-statism.

I learned in Property class in law school, taught by a near-Marxist, that there are 3 attributes to ownership: the ability to buy or sell a thing, the ability to use it as you desire, and the usufruct (the fruits that it produces). If the state controls how you can use something and takes most of the usufruct, the state has effectively socialized your property without regard to who actually owns the title to it. That is modern "democratic" socialism: pay your taxes and use your business like we tell you to, and you get to keep some of the profits.

Here's the thing that I used to remind my bosses at the Old Firm. It's not my law license at stake. If I screw up, it's on you, not on me. I'm not bearing the risk. I won't get sued for malpractice. That's allllllll you.

Now. Do you maybe want to reconsider how you speak to and treat the staff who are preparing documents that you don't really read before you sign it and the staff files it? Just. You know. Asking.

There are many reasons I'm not in active practice. Not having to worry about bearing ultimate responsibility for a case is way up there.
