London wants to go to Sharia law, says US Prez who took Pak army chief on lap >>>>>> Taking Diplomacy to a 'new low' ... local ...... and 'self promoting politics' :::: That's Donald Trump !! He even found time to target local politician Sadiq Khan

Globalisation could not have it more crude and heartless !!

“If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail,” - thus spoke Donald Trump ... not in an election rally but at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). 

The US Prez may have been speaking to the 192 other world leaders gathered in the United Nations, but the real target of his speech was Europe.

He hauled up Europe repeatedly as the whipping boy for an antiliberal, blood-and-soil polemic that renewed an assault on the transatlantic relationship.

In the meantime, we all know this has become a theme of his second administration.

In an hourlong address to the assembled world leaders and delegations, Trump told European leaders directly that they were destroying their own countries.

He urged them to be 'more' like the US as he condemned their policies on immigration, green energy and political correctness.

"These were not subtle digs. On migration, he told Europeans that “your countries are going to hell.” On Europe’s approach to climate change, he said it was “on the brink of destruction because of the green energy agenda”. On the war in Ukraine, he said Europe was “funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?”," runs an analysis piece in 'The Guardian' of London.

He even found time to target local politicians such as Sadiq Khan, whom he called a “terrible, terrible mayor” and said that London “wants to go to Sharia law”. 

There was a barrage of claims about immigrants and questionable statistics about the prison populations in Germany and “beautiful Switzerland”. At moments, he would not have been out of place running for European parliament.

“If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail,” he said during the speech. 

“I’m the president of the United States, but I worry about Europe. I love Europe, I love the people of Europe. 

And I hate to see it being devastated by [green] energy and immigration, that double-tailed monster that destroys everything in its wake.”

“Let’s not pretend this is a foreign policy speech or dignify it by calling it one,” wrote Ned Price, a former deputy to the US representative to the United Nations during the Biden administration. 

“This is basically Maga madlibs. Trump is speaking to his political base, hitting each of his campaign trail hits, while addressing a room of leaders who’d rather be just about anywhere else.”  

Trump turned his gaze to the failures of the United Nations and other world leaders – in which an aide forecast that he would denounce “globalists”. 

US conservatives would have been delighted to watch Trump tear into European liberals, who were forced to watch and politely applaud as they were accused of gross mismanagement of their countries.  

Trump threatens new tariffs on Russia over Ukraine war

US president lectures world leaders on migration, climate change

Calls climate change a con job  

News agency Reuters said --  

U.S. President Donald Trump argued for lower levels of global migration and urged a turn away from climate change policies on Tuesday in a combative, wide-ranging speech to the U.N. General Assembly that leveled scathing criticism of world leaders.

The 56-minute speech was a rebuke to the world body and a return to form for Trump, who routinely bashed the U.N. during his first term as president. Leaders gave him polite applause when he exited the chamber.

"Stupid people" of Climate Change  

The vast majority of climate scientists have concluded climate change is happening, and that it is mainly caused by fossil fuel pollution. Already, the world is seeing its effects: Floods are becoming more extreme and deadly, droughts are more widespread and severe, and heat waves are more dangerous.

Trump was having none of it.  “All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong,” he claimed. 

“They were made by stupid people.”  

Notably, n a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of UNGA, Trump said he believes NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace. 

The comment is notable as the defense alliance confronts the potential for an expansion of the war, although Trump stopped short of saying the United States would join in the effort.
