From the transcript (beginning at 54:12):
From London to Lima, from Rome to Athens, from Paris to Seoul, from Cairo to Tokyo, and Amsterdam to right here in New York City, we stand on the shoulders of the leaders and legends, generals and giants, heroes and titans who won and built our beloved nations, all of our nations, with their own courage, strength, spirit, and skill. Our ancestors climbed to mountains, conquered oceans, crossed deserts, and trekked over wide open plains. They charged into thunderous battles, plunged into grave dangers, and they were soldiers, and farmers, and workers, and warriors, and explorers, and patriots. They built towns into cities, tribes into kingdoms, ideas into industries, and small islands into mighty empires. You're a part of all of that.
They were champions for their people who never gave up and who never ever gave in. Their values, defined our national identities. Their visions forged our magnificent destiny. Everybody in this room is a part of it in your own way. Each of us inherits the deeds and the myths, the triumphs, the legacies of our own heroes and founders who so bravely showed us the way. Our ancestors gave everything for homelands, that they defended with pride, with sweat, with blood, with life, and with death.
Now, the righteous task of protecting the nations that they built belongs to each and every one of us. So together, let us uphold our sacred duty to our people and to our citizens. Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasures, and traditions, and fight, fight, fight for their precious dreams and their cherished freedoms, and in friendship and really, a beautiful vision. Let us all work together to build a bright, beautiful planet, a planet that we all share, a planet of peace and a world that is richer, better, and more beautiful than ever before.
That can happen. It will happen. It will happen, and I hope it can happen and start right now, right at this moment. We'll turn it around. We're going to make our countries better, safer, more beautiful. We're going to take care of our people.
Thank you very much. It's been an honor. God bless the nations of the world. Thank you very much. Bye.
One almost expects "YMCA" to begin and Trump to dance. But that "bye" will need to stand in for his traditional American ending. I thought it was a great ending. I can't think of when I've heard anyone embrace the whole world like that. I mean, I can imagine what his enemies will drag in for comparison.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Great example of "Why can't we do that?" which should be the MAGA movement's motto if it ever gets tired of "MAGA."
The shithole country presidents get behind that podium and give long rambling speeches were they proclaim their doctrines and call out their opponents.
US Presidents up till Trump felt they had to show more decorum and lead by example.
Trump realizes none of the wogs and fuzzy-wuzzies follow our example, so Why Can't We Do That? - give a no holds-barred speech. So he does.
Other examples of WCWDT: controlling our borders, being proud of our heritage, etc. So much of Trump Thought comes from 80 years of watching lesser people and peoples doing things, scratching his head and thinking WCWDT. So guess what - now We Do That Too. CC, JSM
Did he accidentally take truth serum today?
"My relationship with Putin didn't mean anything" ~ Donald Trump
Trump says Ukraine can win back all of its territory seized by Russia ~ FT
This is so exciting!
I wonder what Trump’s policy will be tomorrow!
’Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasures, and traditions…’
Spot on.
From the transcript:
Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York, known as Donald J. Trump, I bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex.
I remember it so well. I said at the time that I would do it for $500 million, rebuilding everything. It would be beautiful. I used to talk about, "I'm going to give you marble floors, they're going to give you terrazzo." The best of everything. "You're going to have mahogany walls, they're going to give you plastic." But they decided to go in another direction, which was much more expensive at the time, which actually produced a far inferior product. And I realized that they did not know what they were doing when it came to construction and that their building concepts were so wrong, and the product that they were proposing to build was so bad and so costly, it was going to cost them a fortune. And I said, "And wait until you see the overruns." Well, I turned out to be right. They had massive cost overruns and spent between two and $4 billion on the building and did not even get the marble floors that I promised them.
I love the guy, but save something to talk about on the golf course, Donny!
Its a good change from Bumbling Biden and Empty suit Obama. And an even better change from "We're going on a world wide crusade to spread Democracy" Bush.
Protecting borders is something only Christian Nationalists do.

I'd never heard that story, so I'm happy he told it. The difference between President Trump and that mumblelump Biden is that Donald Trump was a successful developer who's had more wealth in any one building than most of his critics can even imagine.
Isn't it odd when the best message someone powerful can give turns out to be a breath of fresh air?
That was a helluva story in FT. Tl;dr: "Let's you and him fight."
As long as. we stay out of it.
Yes, of course, one almost expects "YMCA" to begin and Trump to dance. What I don't understand is why so many Trump and MAGA people now celebrate gay sex. It used to be, under Reagan and Bush, that we acknowledged that gay sex existed, but we didn't make a big deal of it. Live and let live, as people then said. But today Trump and MAGA celebrate gay sex, and even sponsor gay marriage orgies at Trump's Florida resort. They advocate gay sex orgies. What the hell has happened?
Well played RC.
We're going to take care of our people.
And what about countries that don’t want to take care of their people — places like Starmer’s UK, Macron’s France, Maduro’s Venezuela? What about them?
We can't have that.
here is the superior vision of the collective left.

I said: Isn't it odd when the best message someone powerful can give turns out to be a breath of fresh air?
Via a YouTuber I came across an Ayn Rand quote I'd never heard before :
"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong".
AI: This quote emphasizes that a contradiction is a sign of error in one's thinking, not a feature of reality itself. Rand believed that reality is rational and consistent, and any perceived contradiction points to a flawed premise.
The almighty said it best: "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." -- Genesis 1: 31
Trump resonating is just a restoration... a restoration of what has been, because "what has been" has never been a burden.
You didn't mention that the escalator stopped working right after the Trump's stepped on it and the teleprompter went on the blink as he started his speech.
What I don't understand is why so many Trump and MAGA people now celebrate gay sex.
We don’t. We celebrate a good song. Republicans don’t do identity politics.
Trump testimony to Congress on UN HQ Renovation.
But today Trump and MAGA celebrate gay sex, and even sponsor gay marriage orgies at Trump's Florida resort. They advocate gay sex orgies.
There is something really wrong with you.
Who would have ever imagined that Trump and MAGA would be the biggest defenders and supporters of gay sex in America.
On the link to the Trump UN video I posted above you will want to scroll back to the beginning. For some reason it always opens in the middle of the video. Trump gives a master class to a Senate committee on NYC real estate and building renovation.
Finally someone found a use for the U.N.: a place to berate the world for it's lack of courage, vision and action. It won't change them, because they are weak, immoral people, but it's at least valuable to point it out to the world.
It’s just the typical mix of narcissistic delusions, outright lies, and trudging up of petty old grievances that defines all of his speeches.

Trump won’t forget. The wisest move on the part of the UN leadership would be to send the technical staff responsible for that down to the White House with the nooses already knotted around their necks, lest he conclude that the leadership was in on it.
Also unmentioned is Trump calling Vlad Putin a paper tiger. Are Ukrainian Air Force pilots going to be flying F-35s?
Apparently, kak-ah hardest hit.
Just another 1537 keystrokes more and you’ll have your day’s pay… enough for dat bottle o’ Mad Dog!
"Not that there is anything wrong with that."
At least Trump has actually built things, and knows what he’s talking about. I don’t doubt that the UN building would be a lot nicer if he had been in charge. The actual renovation looks like it was done by a committee of Joe Bidens and Kamala Harrises. Which it pretty much much was: useless people spending someone else’s money to poor effect.
“It’s just the typical mix of narcissistic delusions, outright lies, and trudging up of petty old grievances that defines all of his speeches.“
And every other political speech since the 20th century. Some people have a fine ear for the faults of their hated enemies. Bla bla Trump is bad. Do you knowTrump is bad. Bla bla everyoneknowsTrumpisbad. I bet you did not know Trump is bad.

“ It’s just the typical mix of narcissistic delusions, outright lies, and trudging up of petty old grievances that defines all of his speeches.”
That’s what my Grandfather thought after hearing an FDR fireside chat.
Gay marriage won out in part because the opponents were always talking about anal sex, and the supporters were talking about weddings. That still applies. If Trump makes his estate available for weddings, Mar-a-lago isn't going to discriminate. If some people assume gay weddings means sex orgies, that's their problem and bound to be thought in poor taste.
*
Democrats pounce! "Trump Whines About Not Getting U.N. Renovation Job." That's the New Republic. The conclusion of the speech was actually quite inspiring. Quite a contrast to Joe Biden telling us "We're the United States of America. We can do anything if we put our minds to it" and demonstrating that there was hardly anything we could manage to do.
“ It sounds like the intro to one of the Civilization games...”
I used to play Red Alert and civilization on x86 and now we have gpus and I would expect games to be better, but where do you go to get good games, I have been using gpus to train models and have not played games. Is it steam?
lonejustice doubling down on the gay sex stuff. He (she?) sure seems to think about that a lot. NTTAWWT.
The latest instructions from the DNC are to focus on Trump supporting gay sex.
Kaki and lone justice are basically bots.
I think the latest Civilization (VII, I think) is available on Steam. I mostly just play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is almost 14 years old but still my favorite game ever. It's possible that The Elder Scrolls VI may come out within my lifetime, since I'm only 65, although I'm not counting on Todd Howard coming through any time soon. If not, I'll keep enjoying Skyrim.
Trump walked into a bar. The bartender said ha ha I turned off your escalator. Trump says I don’t need an escalator to be bigger than you.
Thanks Clyde I’ll have to check it out, trade some ore and tobacco.
Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasures, and traditions…
Trump is taking “law and order” global.
It was very rough. It’s clear the US is not fielding our best and brightest and sending them to the international stage.
Is it lying, if dementia causes you to say it?
If his base could process reality, they’d be pretty upset.
If a piece of fruit looked like that, you’d throw it out.
Gay marriage
Transgender marriage? Couplets? Sure, why not. Without discrimination for sexual orientation (e.g. pedophilia, polygamy, etc), proponents of political congruence ("=") will have to be more inclusive. #NoJudgment #NoLabels #HateLovesAbortion
That said, civil unions for all consenting adults. #LoveWins
Trump's proposal do to the UN building renovation both far better and cheaper was the first time I ever really noticed or took him seriously.
From CBS:
- After heavily criticizing the U.N. during his speech minutes before, Mr. Trump said during a meeting with U.N. Secretary General António Guterres that the U.S. is "behind the United Nations."
"Our country is behind the United Nations 100%" he said. He thanked Guterras for "treating us so warmly" and saying the U.N. brings a great opportunity for peace.
"I may disagree with it sometimes but I am so behind it because I think the potential for peace for this institution is so great," Mr. Trump said. -
More of this, please. We all can get along.

I should have thought that was clear when Barack Obama addressed UN, not to mention Joe Biden forgetting where he was at and why he was there.
Huge, if true!
Jim Jones’ lieutenant spoke quite highly of Jim Jones as well.
I like terrazzo better than marble.
If you cut Joe Biden's or George Bush's or Barrack Obama's teleprompter you will watch a bucket of slobbering failure. They were pathetic losers with a teleprompter.
If you cut Donald Trump's teleprompter he doesn't miss a beat and you get a one hour call out of all of the world's failures and globalist sellouts.
Someone at the UN thought they were being really clever by cutting the teleprompter. But instead of discomfiting Trump, the mechanical failure enabled him to turn a 15-minute written speech into a 55-minute ramble that all the assembled hacks, grifters, has-beens, and never-were's (and the <1% who are cultured and intelligent) to sit through. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Yeah, Donnie Dementia sure showed them what a doddering shitbag he is. The fact that anyone could have watched that with pride in their dear pedo leader is pretty incredible. But then again, MAGAts have shown time and time again that they worship and love the man, but not so much for their nation.
Jim Jones was a Democratic party asset. He was deep in skulduggery with the San Francisco Dem machine of the 1970s, working directly with Moscone and Milk, organizing "flying voters", etc. For that he got consulting fees, municipal contracts, and federal & state grants. He amassed a following because he could pay off a horde of (mostly) ex-addicts and homeless, who depended on him for their livelihood as much as he depended on them for political influence.
Talbot, "Season of the Witch"
Re Jim Jones, I hung out at that time (80s- early 90s) with SF Republicans, who were of the old Barbagelata faction. They had all the dirt, much of which ended up in Talbots book. Not that any of it was secret, it was just inconvenient to put it in the newspapers, as all the Democrats of the day, still, 10-15 years later, carried the taint of Jim Jones.
That sort of "community organizer" is typical of US urban politics. It is the Jim Jones system of political corruption, albeit lacking (most) of the personality cult aspect.
Thank you for the history lesson.
Did Jim Jones hold elected office, have everything he touched turn to shit, appoint incompetent sycophants to every cabinet position, use the Oval Office to grift billions for his business?
If he did, I would expect his cult to stick with him until the sweet sticky end. Like MAGAts stick with their man. THATS the parallel that I’m drawing attention to. But yes the Republican Party freed the slaves and the Nazis we’re socialists…..
That said, civil unions for all consenting adults.
What, no furries? You bigot!
Lift up the covers of the Democratic party, anywhere, and you will find an ocean of this shit. The CA Dem party, even outside of big cities, is really a criminal conspiracy, and I dont suppose the pattern is different in other states. In his day Willie Brown was happy to admit it. He was of course untouchable, the local MSM treated him as an amusing rascal. He was "too cute to prosecute" - I dont remember if that was Willie or Herb Caen. Behind the deliberately outrageous humor was the truth, of course, Willie couldnt help laying it out. There is a sort-of honest man inside Willie Brown.
Why are you even responding to that gash?
If you want a quick estimate of the relative degree of political corruption in a US state, look at their electricity rates. In the continental US there aren't really natural obstacles to power generation, or there haven't been for a long time. These rates are determined entirely by political policies that create local cost structures, because someone wants to feed off artificially raised costs.
CA - 33.5 cents/kwh
NY - 26.18
IL - 18.33
TX - 16.28
Etc - https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a
That’s fascinating.
Your MAGAt king rapes kids and shits on the constitution daily.
I’ve always found that green tile behind the UN podium hideous.
Dining rooms are traditionally a shade of red to make food and people look more appetizing. But red was too on point for the UN, in several ways. Plus, a light background would be trickier to photograph/video well with darker skin.
"That’s fascinating"
It should be.
Independent metrics are uncommon and valuable, if taken seriously.
That assumes goodwill and honesty of course.
My career in CA energy infrastructure (US energy really) taught me a great deal about relative standards of goodwill and honesty.
I believe you really know how much greed and criminality inherent in our political system. And yet, here you are shilling for a child rapist and the biggest conman, grifter we’ve ever seen in the Oval Office.
An electric bill is a simple, but brilliant, condensation of a complex reality. It cuts through all sorts of irrelevant verbiage, of feelings that dont matter, of hysteria and unreal fantasies.
It is in its way an unanswerable judgement on entire societies.
Ok, maybe we can take those pregnant with meaning electric bills that you’re so keen on, and use them to patch up the constitution, after this administration finishes tearing it to shreds.
There are all sorts of constitutions and non-constitutions, styles of politics and styles of rhetoric, various breeds of sacred cows, and etc. I'm not American, my heritage is from several countries, I like looking at things from a few miles above the atmosphere. From up here a US President matters only to a limited degree. There are many millions of you, and it is better to consider that your leadership is an effect, not a cause. All of these countries have electric bills though :)
Trump did all that off script. And the best comeback is a progressive complaining about gay sex? Or a sockpuppet that champions gay sex acts? I'm sure many others read to the tweet I'm about to reference. Yes, all they have left is despair. Careful out there.
#EscalatorGate
Trump’s inability to ride an escalator raises new questions about Joe Biden’s orthopedic sneakers.
Midwit commenters trying desperately to be Triumph the Comic Insult Dog have lowered the quality of this forum. Taking political talking points and spicing them up with a bit of near-profanity and noxious, low-vocabulary imagery is not persuasive or the least bit clever.
That said, civil unions for all consenting adults.
What, no furries? You bigot!
Yes, you're right. Also, pedophilia, sadomasochism, etc, are licit under Democratic law. #NoJudgment #NoLabels #LoveWins
All's fair in lust and abortion... of a "burden" (e.g. life deemed unworthy of life, human rites, Mengele Dreams, ethnic Springs, etc) following the principles of progressive liberalism of the leftist order. Deja vu.
I like it.
If you want a strong dose of narcissism, may I suggest reading published excerpts from Kamala's lengthy excuse-explanation, her new vanity-press book "107 Days". Several months of daily doses of narcissistic drivel; packaged in one container.
Trump allowed gay weddings at his properties because he knew that by the next morning the gay guests would all have their shit packed and be out the door on time. Wish we could say the same for Kak and TBH.
buwaya: If you want a quick estimate of the relative degree of political corruption in a US state, look at their electricity rates.
Wow — thanks for posting that.
I had no idea until just now that we in Idaho pay just over a third of what Californians pay.
He really does make it too easy - windmills: Don (he’s got the name already) Quixote with JDVance as Sancho Panza and Elon as Rocinante. A modern take on a classic comedy
Every American with an IQ above room temperature – aside from (I am trying to be understanding) those people who find his arguments compelling for whatever reason – is sitting here with their heads in their hands. OMG - thinking what on earth have we ended up with. This man has done more harm to the reputation of the United States internationally in 9 months then has ever been achieved in such a relatively short time by any autocratic leader anywhere.
And thus was born The United Federation of Planets.
Don Quixote is comedic in parts. However it is much deeper than that, it is a satire of contemporary society, and of humanity in general, and a tragedy. Sancho is a lot of things. He is often silly and absurdly naive, often a foil for the declamations of Don Quixote, but on the whole he has sound peasant judgment. Nobody listens to him of course.
We laugh at tragedy sometimes to avoid being consumed by it.
Trump has, at times, an eloquence which is under appreciated.
