President Trump to the World : "If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph”

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH STUNNED THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY INTO SILENT ATTENTION. • • • The gathered General Assembly member delegations sat in stunned silence while US President Donald Trump told them in straightforward words what they have allowed the world to become, how the United Nations has failed in its "peace" mission, and what needs to be done to sort things out globally. It was a powerful, powerful assertion of American values, ordinary people's aspirations and, above all, a call for all governments to respect their citizens and lead them to Sovereignty, Security, and Prosperity. • • • President Trump warned on Tuesday that the world faces “great peril” from gathering threats posed by rogue regimes with powerful weapons and by terrorists with expanding reach across the globe, issuing a call to fellow leaders to join the United States in the fight to defeat them : "We meet at a time of immense promise and great peril. It is up to us whether we will lift the world to new heights or let it fall into a valley of disrepair.” • President Trump said : “The scourge of our planet is a group of rogue regimes...,” emphasizing that if Kim Jong Un's regime in North Korea continues to threaten the United States and to destabilize East Asia, his administration would be prepared to defend the country and its allies : “We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself.” Any serious leader would do the same, if he had the resources. • • • President Trump said that the UN-backed Iran nuclear deal is an “an embarrassment” to the United States and hinted that his administration could soon declare Teheran out of compliance, potentially unraveling the deal. Any serious leader would do the same thing, if he were not under Iran's dominance or afraid of its soon-to-be-achieved nuclear bombs and lurking terrorists. • • • President Trump said that it will require all the nations of the world to free the planet of rogue nations seeking to terrorize it, focusing on the growing threats of "radical Islamic terrorism." He declared that his administration would not allow "loser terrorists" to "tear up our nation or tear up the entire world," saying : “If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph.” Any serious leader would agree, if he did not, as he does now, have the umbrella of the United States to do his dirty work for him. • • • President Trump pledged that his administration would support the United Nations in its goals of pursuing peace, but he openly criticized the UN and its member nations for not living up to the promise of its founding in 1945. To drive his goal home, Trump said : "We do not expect diverse countries to share the same cultures, values or systems of government. But we do expect all nations to uphold their core sovereignty and respect the interests of their own people and rights of every other sovereign nation. This is the beautiful vision of this institution and the foundation for cooperation and success." Any serious leader would agree, if he were not so busy forming or joining regional or sectarian cliques to batter other nations in the short-sighted goal of raising up his own. • • • President Trump spoke of the humanitarian and political crisis consuming Venezuela, singling out the "disastrous rule" of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, whose authoritarian "socialist" regime has sent the country into political and economic crisis. "It is completely unacceptable and we cannot stand by and watch," Trump said, adding that the "socialist" goals were not mismanaged in Venezuela, but that the "socialist" goals were carried out perfectly. He called on the UN to help the Venezuelan people "regain their freedom and recover their country and restore their democracy." Any serious leader would agree, if he were not one of the many "socialist" leaders around the world already driving his citizens into poverty and joblessness, making them dependent on state aid and international handouts. • • • At the end of his remarks, President Trump looked out at his frozen-in-place audience and asked : "Are we still patriots? Do we love our nations enough to protect their sovereignty and take ownership of their futures?" • These were questions that may well be markers in the "Trump Doctrine" of a world working together for peace and prosperity through joint efforts based on national sovereignty, respect for all people, and the belief that all citizens have the right to govern themselves under "the Almighty God who created us all," as President Trump emphasized. • • • DEAR READERS, President Trump's speech to the General Assembly is on You Tube at < https://youtu.be/_kPi2kEo3Mk > It will be the best 45 minutes you ever spend if you want to know who Donald Trump is, what he hopes for the world, and who are the American people he represents.

  1. The Trump administration has many policies but no visible strategy, and that is because of the arrogance of the GOP House and Senate leadership refusing to sign on to the Presidents simplest policies.

    Donald Trump ran in a simple platform of "Make America Better".

    Better Healthcare, better homeland security, better immigrations, better Visa programs, lower and simplified tax programs, better lives.

    And yet his party leadership has fought him at ever turn. So forget the policies, the strategy is nonexistent because of the GOP Congressional leadership.

  2. This was Donald Trump at his finest, and Donald Trump at his firmest. No insults (except maybe Bomb Boy), no threats he won't or can't carry out.

    A firm underlying signal that America, even if it's America alone will not go 'silently into the night.' He will not let the American dream, or the history of America being the dependable pillar of Freedom, Rule of Law, Human Rights. Freedom of Religion fir all that wants our help.

    America flourishes under leaders like Donald Trump. America also slithers into the darkness when we are under the toter-ledge of Progress Socialists internationalists like Barrack Obama.

    The world today has no doubt as to the intentions of America under the leadership of one Donald Trump. The 'Road to Serfdom" is not the path we will be on fir a long time.

  3. Whether this President lives up to his vision is another matter and will largely be for history to judge. But his stated foreign policy is mature, stable, and needed. It is grounded in historic American leadership around the world, not isolationism, and not multinational interventionism. President Trump's immediate predecessor took the world stage and often made it seem he though no nation was better or worse, but all were equal. Every nation said the same thing about how great their nation was and their nation was the best. We did it too as team sport, in Obama's mind, but his policies were premised on us not being the best nation. Yesterday at the United Nations, President Trump all but declared the United States actually really is the best damn nation that ever was, but is humble enough not to try to force everyone to our level. I'll take it!
