Mr. Insecure Bully, D. Trump, gave an America first speech at the U.N. that is sure to do nothing but increase international antipathy toward our bellicose president. He threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea, which of course is honey to his cave-dweller base, but is empty rhetoric that will just prompt the NK leader to shoot off more rockets. Kim Jong-un has already demonstrated that he likes provoking Trump--who, like emotionally fragile man he is, keeps letting himself get provoked.
Trump again called the Iran nuclear deal an "embarrassment" and the "worst deal ever" for America--but of course he has no idea what he's talking about and ending the Iran deal would be totally stupid. But then Trump seems to delight in doing the wrong thing. Trump also vows to make the U.N. "great"--which is more meaningless nonsense since it is an international organization. Trump couldn't name two things that the U.N. does.
Trump should have already learned by now that he can't browbeat the world into adopting his questionable and ill-informed viewpoints. He can't do that in the United States, much less the international community. I thought chief of staff Kelly had purged the White House of most of its chest-thumbing American First crowd, but apparently not. There is way to promote both America's interests and policies that help alleviate global problems--but Trump is too dumb and insecure and absurd to understand that walking around with your chest out and trying to intimidate other leaders and their nations is completely counter-productive. It doesn't work. We went through much the same with Bush, who like many conservatives wanted to play the tough guy--and we got lied to to star a war that has cost America $2 trillion and lots of lives and accomplished very little.
