US President Donald Trump delivered a fascist rant Tuesday to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in which he proclaimed “America First” should be the world’s organizing principle, threatened war and aggression the world over, and lionized the criminal actions of his administration at home and abroad.
He attacked both America’s ostensible allies and states long in Washington’s military-strategic crosshairs in a meandering speech that lasted almost triple his allotted time.
Trump reveled in displaying his disdain and contempt for international law, making clear that Washington will accept no restraints on the ruthless assertion of its imperialist interests, whether through trade war, assassinations, regime-change operations or global war.
If he had declared war on the world, which wouldn’t be so out of character for him after being insulted by an escalator, you wouldn’t need to go to wsws to read about it.
The best thing is that the UN reported on the cause of the failure:
Automatic safety stop at the combs. Probably caused by his backwards facing videographer that went up before him.
His incessant need for publicity and fame caused the stop.
