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.

    Ah, that’s what you meant. But the content here is not wrong. Cnn and even whitehouse.gov and nytimes say broadly the same. Of course on nytimes only shortly and the rest of it apologist, while whitehouse doesn’t assess, lists only raw quotes, while CNN has some critiques.

    Ugh, and BBC like what he says.
