INTERVIEW – CLIFF MAY – President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies – recapped the president’s UN speech.

President Trump’s UN speech:

• Trump defends ‘America ‘first,’ threatens to cut foreign aid budget in U.N. speech (Washington Times) — President Trump told the United Nations on Tuesday that the U.S. is guided by patriotism instead of globalism, rejecting the authority of world bodies such as the International Criminal Court, the World Trade Organization and a U.N. migration initiative even as he praised the U.N. itself as a force for peace. In the most in-your-face defense yet of his “America First” agenda, a defiant Mr. Trump stood before U.N. delegates who sneered openly at him and told them that the U.S. will never submit to international controls as long as he is in charge.
• Trump bragged about his presidency and world leaders laughed: TRUMP GETS A LAUGH AT THE UN: Praising America’s “booming” economy, the brash billionaire said: “My administration has accomplished more in two years than almost any administration in the history of our country… so true.” Seemingly taken aback by his boast, the audience broke into laughter, prompting a smiling Trump to say: “I wasn’t expecting that reaction but that’s ok.” His ad-lib prompted a round of applause from the assembled world power brokers. Trump then continued to praise his own work, boasting about spending $700billion on the US military.
• TRUMP HITS IRAN AT UN: “Iran’s leaders sow chaos, death, and destruction. They do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations. Instead, Iran’s leaders [use the] nation’s resources to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the Middle East and far beyond,” the president said.
