What is this? #SOTU? #UNGA? @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social
Trump's opening minutes at #UNGA play like a midterm stump speech aimed at US voters, not world leaders. "We have the hottest country anywhere in the world," he says, and claims tourism is booming, despite data showing international arrivals down.
Oh, BLOODY HELL!! Hes already slurring his words. We need duct tape... STAT!!
Trump: "We have the hottest country in the world."
Rest of the world and millions of Americans: Literally yes. The US contributes a great deal to global warming. #unga
Trump at UNGA: US economic strength envied globally. Boasts 1M+ new jobs, historic low poverty. Highlights strong military & energy sector driving global development. #USEconomy #UNGA
And now this nonsense about us being the "hottest country in the world" and nobody comes in "unless they have permission" and he claims that the Trump Administration does not determine who gets permission... but that can't be what he meant, right? #UNGA
Is this a State of the Union event? #UNGA
Trump: "our economy is the envy of the world."
Rest of the World: it really isn't. #unga
Behind every crisis are human lives.
Until everyone is safe, the world must not look away.
Stand in solidarity with all people forced to flee. #UNGA
