Donald Trump Threatens A Little Nuclear War At The UN. But So Presidentially!
'The Trump Doctrine: We respect other countries' sovereignty and political systems except when we don't.'-- Jon Ralston
Donald Trump read a speech off a teleprompter at the United Nations today, letting all the nations of the world know that he is a serious man who can read the text of a serious foreign policy speech that he may or may not actually understand. Trump declared that the USA will always put its interests first, as should all nations, except for the ones he thinks should have different interests. Here's the whole thing, but because we love you (and because CNN helpfully posted snippets to Twitter), we'll focus on some of the Big Takeaways.
On North Korea, Trump did what he could to calm tensions, generously offering to bring a permanent peace to the Korean peninsula by sharing American nuclear weapons all over the North:
Trump says the US will "totally destroy North Korea" if it needs to — and then he calls out "rocket man" https: //t.co/ZhfboqsUOr

Yeah, what was the presidential part? The part where he told a bunch of African dignitaries that his con artist friends were making a beeline for their countries to Three Card Monte everyone to death or the part where he liberally abused what must be Elton John's copyrighted material?
Obama care was THEIR idea from the 1990s, yet they hate it. They are sore winners.
