Trump Tells U.N. Like It Is

When President Donald Trump gave his speech to the United Nations, I missed it. I was on the road towards a morning meeting in Banning, so I didn't get a chance to view it until today.

Holy Cow.

This is one of those moments where Trump shined, and the media was stuttering all over itself because they did not know what to do.

Tuesday's address to the United Nations was his first time to talk to the members of the internationalist organization, and what he delivered was among the most powerful message the group of ruling elites had ever experienced.  He was clear, without question, regarding what the dangers in the world being posed against liberty truly are.  Among those threats Trump discussed was North Korea.

Kim Jong Un's efforts to acquire an intercontinental ballistic missile plus nuclear warhead capability is a dire threat.  If a move against us happens, and if the U.S. is "forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."

"Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for him and his regime."

Trump also pointed out another enemy, Islam.  He pledged to continue destroying the Islamic State and said America and its allies would "crush" ISIS.

Iran was another threat he mentioned, describing the nuclear deal between Obama and Iran an "embarrassment."  Trump also pointed out Iran's human rights abuses.

Trump also pointed out what socialism really looks like.  He slammed the "socialist dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro" and the ideology of socialism as that which has fostered "poverty and misery everywhere it has been tried."

While hammering on the enemies of liberty, Trump also thanked Middle Eastern nations such as Jordan and Lebanon for supporting millions of Syrian refugees.  He also praised U.S. aid programs, and United Nations efforts to keep the peach.

Trump was confident, clear, and realistic.  He said it as it is, in only the way that Trump can.  Hopefully, the world leaders took him seriously.  I know the media did, because they were freaking out.
