Trump plans to address United Nations General Assembly in person
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump is likely to be the only world leader speaking live from New York at this years United Nations General Assembly debate, scheduled to take place Sept. 22 to 25.
Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told a virtual event Thursday morning that Trump would be the only world leader to be speaking in person, noting that this is the 75th anniversary (of the U.N.), so it makes it even more special.
The U.N. will be holding its biggest annual event virtually this year, with up to 190 world leaders delivering speeches via pre-recorded video message, instead of descending on New York City with their entourages.
As host country of the U.N. headquarters during the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. has a unique opportunity to hold center-stage at an organization Trump has consistently derided, and which at times has returned the favor.

I hope every delegate shows up, waits until he staggers/is wheeled up to the podium and farts out his first word, then gets up and leaves.

(2,227 posts)ANYTHING to get a mention in the news. Push John Lewis, Obama, Clinton, W off the front page.
He wasn't even a D grade actor in a BAD reality show (kudos to Kathy Griffin), but he HAS TO HAVE his stage.
We must laugh at him, humiliate him, ridicule him, roast him in the worst possible way. Reject him with such intensity that he strokes out and has a major meltdown on live teevee.
One can only hope...
