President Trump telling the UN delegates that “Your countries are going to hell” has gone viral. But that was only a small part of the accurate criticism he unleashed on the UN. The summit began with three glaring malfunctions that many believe were sabotage by globalist UN employees who despise him.
The first mishap came as Trump and First Lady Melania stepped onto the escalator at UN headquarters, only for it to grind to a halt, forcing them to walk the rest of the way. Next, the microphones reportedly failed to project his voice as strongly as the previous speaker’s. Finally, when he began his address, the teleprompter didn’t work.
Trump brushed it off, joking, “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working,” and added, “whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.” He read from paper at first but quickly went off-script. For nearly an hour, with minimal notes or preparation, Trump delivered a free-flowing, unscripted speech that drew both cheers and gasps.
Trump ran through a laundry list of everything that is wrong with the world and with the UN. He painted a picture of American resurgence under his leadership and accused global institutions of failure. He declared the United States is in a “Golden Age,” boasting of record investment commitments, tax cuts, deregulation, and falling prices for energy, gasoline, and groceries. He contrasted this with Biden’s years of “weakness and radicalism.” Trump reminded delegates that “Christianity is the most persecuted religion on the planet” and warned that national cultures are being eroded by globalism and open borders.
Trump accused European leaders of destroying their heritage by being “politically correct,” charged that “your countries are being destroyed”, and cited statistics on foreign nationals filling European prisons. He blasted the UN for funding illegal migration, wasting billions on its own building renovation, and offering “empty words” instead of solving wars.
Trump also attacked London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, saying he was “doing a terrible job” and even suggesting that if Khan were in the U.S., he could be mayor of Chicago. At the UN, Trump pointed to London as an example of failed leadership, describing it as “so changed” under Khan’s watch and warning that local leaders were pushing the city toward Sharia law.
Trump dismissed the global green agenda as a fraud, calling climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” He ridiculed renewables as “all bankrupt,” labeled the carbon footprint “a hoax,” and said wind and solar were “a joke… so pathetic and so bad,” while praising “clean, beautiful coal” as a preferable alternative. He argued that decades of U.N. predictions, from “global cooling” to “global warming” to “climate change,” had all proven false, costing countries their fortunes and credibility.
Warning of real consequences, Trump told world leaders, “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.” He linked green energy and open borders as twin threats to Western societies: “Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again.” Closing on a personal note, he declared, “I’ve been right about everything,” framing his critique as both a prediction and a plea to rescue Europe’s countryside and traditions from what he called suicidal energy and immigration policies.
He scolded NATO members for buying Russian oil: “They’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?”
In a notable shift on Ukraine, he said Kyiv can “fight and win” back its original borders and suggested NATO should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter member airspace; he also told Zelensky the US would work on post-war security guarantees. After months suggesting Kyiv should cede land, he declared Ukraine could “fight and WIN” back its original borders with NATO and EU support. He branded Russia a “paper tiger” crippled by economic problems and said NATO should shoot down Russian planes violating allied airspace, though he hedged on whether the US would intervene directly. Zelensky welcomed the change as a “big shift”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the war “cannot end militarily” and must conclude at the negotiating table;
He tied warnings about immigration and energy policy, saying that both “suicidal” immigration policies and Europe’s climate agenda would be “the death of Western Europe if something is not done immediately.” Trump stressed that such policies “cannot be sustained,” and added that what makes the world beautiful is the uniqueness of each country, a uniqueness he argued was being erased by globalist policies.
On foreign policy, he reminded the delegates that he has ended seven wars since returning to office, while the UN offers only “empty words.” He also defended U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and his attacks on Venezuelan cartels. On Gaza and Palestinian recognition, he warned that recognition would “reward” Hamas and repeatedly demanded, “Release the hostages now.” He further proposed leading an international effort to enforce the Biological Weapons Convention “by pioneering an AI verification system that everyone can trust.”
Overall, Trump’s appearance dominated the proceedings: a bombastic attack on the UN, a sharp break with his prior Ukraine stance, and a day of clashes with allies and adversaries alike. The man is a hero who speaks his mind, calls out the rest of the world for their hypocrisy and failings, and demands the best deal for America.
