Trump Slams ‘Globalism’ at UN, Tells World ‘We Embrace Patriotism’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Donald Trump on Tuesday told the United Nations that those who want globalism are welcome to it, but as for America, “we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.”
Trump drew laughter and gasps from the audience during the opening of his speech as he said, “in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”
“I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK,” Trump responded.
According to Fox News , Trump’s speech largely avoided any mention of Russia, praised North Korean leader Kin Jong Un for working with Trump instead of against America, and dripped with scorn during his denunciation of Iran.

Above all, Trump told the United Nations that the United States will choose its own path.
“This is why America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control, and domination. I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live or work or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return,” Trump said, according to a transcript of his speech posted by the White House .
“As my administration has demonstrated, America will always act in our national interests,” Trump said, citing the U.N.’s failure to reform its Human Rights Council, which Trump called “a grave embarrassment to this institution, shielding egregious human rights abusers while bashing America and its many friends.”
Trump noted that there is a common reason why the United States withdrew from the Human Rights Council and is no longer recognizing the International Criminal Court.
Do you support President Trump?
“We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. Around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance, but also from new forms of coercion and domination,” Trump said.
During his speech, Trump summarized the changes since, a year ago, he criticized North Korea during his speech at the U.N. “I would like to thank Chairman Kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken, though much work remains to be done,” Trump said.
After his speech, he told reporters that progress was taking place.
“So we have been communicating, and we are doing very well with North Korea and we have some very good feelings going on with North Korea, far greater than the media understands or knows. I’m not blaming the media for that. Letters have been going back and forth and conversations have been happening. In the end, I only say: Who knows? But I say this: We are doing very well. Far better than anyone understands. You can look at the outer signs: hostages back, the remains of our great heroes from many, many years ago, already some families have been notified that they found their father or family member, but we are getting back the remains,” Trump said, according to a White House media pool report.
Trump cited the “ongoing tragedy in Syria” and noted that “Every solution to the humanitarian crisis in Syria must also include a strategy to address the brutal regime that is fueled and financed in the corrupt dictatorship in Iran.”

Trump then summarily denounced Iran.
“Iran’s leaders sow chaos, death, and disruption. They do not respect their neighbors or borders, or the sovereign rights of nations. Instead, Iran’s leaders plunder the nation’s resources to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the Middle East and far beyond. The Iranian people are rightly outraged that their leaders have embezzled billions of dollars from Iran’s treasury, seized valuable portions of the economy, and looted the religious endowments, all to line their own pockets and send their proxies to wage war. Not good,” Trump said.
Trump said sanctions will be piled up against Iran.
“We cannot allow a regime that chants, ‘Death to America,’ and that threatens Israel with annihilation, to possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead to any city on earth, we just cannot do it. We ask all nations to isolate Iran’s regime as long as its aggression continues and we ask all nations to support Iran’s people as they struggle to reclaim their religious and righteous destiny,” Trump said.
Trump touched on his “America first” approach to trade.
“The United States will not be taken advantage of any longer. For decades, the United States opened its economy, the largest by far on Earth, with few conditions. We allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders. Yet other countries did not grant us free and reciprocal access to their markets in return. Even worse, some countries abused their openness to dump their products, subsidize their goods, target our industries, and manipulate their currencies to gain unfair advantage over our country,” Trump said. “We will no longer allow our workers to be victimized, our companies to be cheated, and our wealth to be plundered and transferred. America will never apologize for protecting its citizens.”
Trump said that just as he embraces America, he expects other nations will want to revere their own cultures.
“Sovereign and independent nations are the only vehicle where freedom has ever survived, democracy has ever endured, or peace has ever prospered. And so we must protect our sovereignty and our cherished independence above all,” Trump said.
“Together, let us choose a future of patriotism, prosperity, and pride. Let us choose peace and freedom over domination and defeat. Let us come here to this place to stand for our people and their nations. Forever strong, forever sovereign, forever just. Forever thankful for the grace and the goodness and the glory of God.”

He got laughed at.
Because he's an idiot.
With a statement such as that, the only predictable reaction had to be laughter, the surprise is that the laughter was fairly well controlled. Perhaps a gaffaw may have been more in order.
Although I do take exception to the label of idiot, it is a great insult to idiots everywhere:)
Nervous folks have a tendency to do that when they aren't sure of themselves.
No, because some failed states and totalitarian regimes oppose a strong American leader.
Yet the President chose to praise the totalitarian regimes while insulting western democracies. Frankly, I was disgusted watching such a poorly educated bigot embarrass America like that on the world stage.
I took this online history test ( ) with 115 questions yesterday and it struck me, the current President would likely have miserably failed this test, he doesn't know world history, it is brutally obvious he doesn't have a broad knowledge base. And the test wasn't very hard at all, just general knowledge multiple choice history questions and the results are dubious (it concluded I had a PHD in history after scoring 94%), but Trump will never publicly take a test like this or an IQ test, he prefers to make up his own reality with zero substance. I guess that appeals to the poorly educated who would rather believe themselves better than everyone else based on skin color or faith, but it's not what the majority of Americans believe. They understand that we do not actually have a "strong American leader", we have an overinflated windbag who puts more faith in rhetoric and propaganda that in facts and reality.
Just took the test, History PHD
Like I said, it's pretty easy, but I have no doubt Trump would fail miserably. I bet if you score below 40% the quiz asks "Is this Donald Trump?"...
"On Wednesday, he didn’t hesitate to condemn China for, as he put it, “attempting to interfere in our upcoming 2018 election … against my administration.”
With Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sitting nearby during a U.S.-chaired session of the United Nations Security Council, the American president explained that the Chinese “do not want me or us to win, because I am the first president ever to challenge China on trade, and we are winning on trade, we are winning at every level. We don’t want them to meddle or interfere in our upcoming election.” Trump did not elaborate on his government’s findings regarding China’s alleged attempted interference. Wang seemed to literally shrug off Trump’s charges, asserting later in the session that China’s long-standing policy is to not interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries."
The only things orange conman traitor in chief has accomplished is making the US a laughingstock and showing the world what a disgrace the office of the president has turned into. Hire a clown, expect a circus...he proves it every day since he's been in office.
Speaking of TRAITORS, has John Kerry been charged yet?
Is John Kerry President, yep, more whataboutisms...typical.
It was all George Bush's fault.
Love Despicable Me!
I love them all.
Minions are my Fav..
"America First" is a current code for white nationalism.
Like ""a typical white person" was an obvious signal to black racists & liberal haters??"
Only to those that have this need to relate to some other country for some reason.....even though they were born and raised in this country. Their relatives were born and raised here too.
white nationalist is progressive code for anyone who goes against progressive bs.
but it is OK john.... we expect that kind of behavior from todays political losers,
we are not surprised even a little bit
have a great day
"White nationalist" is what all those marching with their tiki torches chanting "Jews will not replace us!" consider themselves, from the wannabe Nazis to the KKK members.
" White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism that holds the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity "
There's nothing more worthless than a supposed "white national identity". I'm a straight white middle aged male and I feel no compunction to embrace any sort of "white nationalism" or to celebrate my "white heritage". A person's "whiteness" has zero reflection on their value as a human being. All peoples, races and cultures are just as valuable and important as any other, though that's a concept that is lost on the half wit in chief and the bigoted white nationalists he surrounds himself with like Steven Miller and why he praises white nationalist authoritarians like Putin.
that is why the left tries to equate trump supporters to white nationalsts. (alinsky - rules for radicals)
NEWSFLASH: it is not working any better today than it did before the 2016 elections
but you keep running with that OK?
im going to give you a hint: like water off a ducks back...
we do not care what derogatory names the left calls us as we do not value their opinions.
-
by calling everyone who disagrees a derogatory term for the past decade the left has ensured their own defeat for years to come. the left has been losing voters, power, seats in govt, respect, and credibility...
did you know alinsky's rules for radicals does not work in the digital age?
game over.
.
cheers
Do you know what you call a person who works repairing or installing roofs? A roofer. Do you know what you call a person who identifies with Nazis and the KKK, or those who welcome them into their political party? White nationalists. It's simply naming the beast.
The only thing that is ensured by identifying or rejecting white nationalists is that those bigots won't vote for your party, which is perfectly fine by me. White supremacists are on the same level as pedophiles in my book, I don't want them in whatever political party I choose to support and believe the nation would be far better off without them.
save your bs for your weekly meetings...
no one else is going to buy your bs.
do you know what doing the same thing again and again while expecting different results means?
you keep attacking us and we will keep winning... count on it.

Trump Brags That He Got Much Bigger Laughs at U.N. Than Obama
“When Obama spoke at the U.N. he did not get a single laugh—not one,” Trump told reporters. “I feel sorry for the people who had to sit through his speeches. They weren’t funny at all.”
In contrast, Trump said, “I killed at the U.N.”
“I had them rolling in the aisles,” he said. “Once I started hearing those big laughs, I thought, Poor li’l Obama, he’s going to be so jealous.”
Trump called the United Nations a “tough crowd” for comedy because the audience is composed of people from around the globe. “I’m sure the crooked media won’t give me credit for this, but I’m the only person who can make the whole world laugh,” he said.
silly people will think that is a request... LOL
heads up to china.
seriously...
who here thinks handing global power to china with its "lifetime" president was a good idea?
None of us do, which is why we the majority are disappointed in the Trump administration ceding power to China for no reason. The rejection of the TPP that would have bolstered our ability to counter Chinas influence was a huge boon to them. China couldn't be happier with a Trump administration just handing over our global leadership position in favor of sad, ignorant, idiotic protectionism that does nothing to help spread western democracy, liberty and freedom around the world.
not letting them take advantage of us in trade is ceding power to china? .
and not letting the political traitors in our country deplete our military any longer is ceding power to china?
whatcha smokin over there?
the death of our economy and world power has been greatly exaggerated.
USA v2.0 is not going to be told what to do by any foreign entity ever again.
between the usa and brexit the globalists are just shit out of luck.
where ever the USA and the UK go?
the world invariably follows.
"Trump is ceding the future of energy to China"
" Trump Is Ceding Global Leadership to China "
"Trump ‘ceding global power’ to Chinese President Xi Jinping"
"Trump pulling out of the Paris climate agreement is great news … for China. The US is leaving a huge power vacuum for its rival."
"Trump's Bellicosity Is Ceding America's Influence to China"
It's not just my opinion, it's as obvious as the nose on a sad clowns face.
except for one thing...
that is all complete bs.
here is the 6th reason they will never dominate us. if they try we will kick their asses even if the whole world has to burn as a result.
only traitors and cowards submit.
write that down it will be on the test.
So in other words MAD. I guess we really aren't much more powerful than they are then are we? I mean, they are evidently not afraid of us, probably because they know we can't really "kick their asses".
Yes, that is exactly what the majority of Americans fear about this reckless President, burning the world to the ground because he gets insulted or doesn't get his way.
And the supposed "5 reasons" are from a single guys opinion, not a journalist, but an investor, likely with many millions of reasons to downplay China's growth on the global stage. And the 5 reasons aren't all that convincing. He says they have a bad economy because they are growing too quickly, they're building 55 new airports when a quarter of their current airports aren't profitable or that much of their innovation industry is new. This is just the perspective of risk for investors, not a commentary as to why China wouldn't step into the void left by Trumps retreat and abandoning the TPP which would have been a counter to Chinas grip on trade.
So the 5 reasons are "Their still too young and risky for some investors" + your opinion that "if they don't behave we'll nuke them". Not a very convincing argument against the mountains of evidence I linked in several articles that spell out how the US has ceded power to China and they're laughing at us all the way to the bank. Trump was the best thing that could have happened for communist China, the Russia autocracy, authoritarian North Korea, Turkish theocracy and the Saudi monarchy. He's disappointed and let down almost every ally, from Canada, Australia, Germany, France, our African nation allies to Great Britain. So if you support Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Nazi's, the KKK and other white supremacists, then Trumps your guy, he's the hero of authoritarians, dictators, fascists, monarchs and communist leaders.
yes we.
where we go one - we go all.
even if we have to drag half the country with against their will.
patriots are funny like that
the majority of liberals? of course, they fear a lot of things.
the rest of us? not so much.
a majority only matters in the states.
when you figure out the usa is not a democracy that is when you figure out the majority means nothing in a republic.
It's like trying to get a conservative to take a bath or go to the dentist...
Yeah, Trump is an idiot. He doesn't have any idea what globalism is, how it has enriched the US, or how the US has long been the biggest proponent of it. And every time he says the word patriotism it is like he is shitting on the very concept of it, given his personal history.
Lol, ya gotta love it when a total right wing loon posts an article that broadcasts Trump's total idiocy, while thinking he is making Trump look good! You can give me my ticket now, because everyone who supports Trump IS a total loon, either that or a total scumbag, and nothing is ever going to stop me from saying so. Enough is enough already.
actually, 6 more yrs and then 8 yrs after that with whomever trump endorses.
after lifelong hobby of study in anthropology and other such things, I am curious...
how does it feel to have the master global plan crushed by such paltry little fools like us?
luckily we have the internet... the mental health marvel that it is.
imagine if they had nowhere to vent all that rage except in the streets? we would have to do more than just talk with them and I'd rather not have to lock them all up.
and if they keep that rage bottled up too long their heads might actually pop... rumor has it.
by releasing all that rage over time online it provides a way for them to slowly adjust to reality in a "safe space" where no one gets hurt, much.
they have been doing that for almost a decade now.
their biggest problem is complete lack of balls as the DOJ is no longer complicit and on their side. besides, felony riot charges suck.. that's ten yrs.
have you noticed how little we hear from antifa and black lives matter lately?
kinda quiet without all the free money
the only thing in the left's future if they get violent is jail or worse.
the only thing in our future is more mayberry and less fallujah
the interesting thing about globalism per say for me is this.
it is my assertion that the planners of global governance started with good intentions, where they fuked up was trying to bring it in thru the back door under the guise of trade agreements.
by good intentions I mean
they almost had their world govt, so close they could taste it. and this is where they made their fatal mistake... they pushed too hard to fast and predictably, slipped and tripped at the finish line.
had they been patient and continued slow-walking the bs behind our backs for another 40-60yrs or so the USA was in the bag. impatience is what exposed their hand and is bringing them down as we speak.
the people are on to the game of using trade deals to give power to unelected foreign planners like the EU did to the UK - the USA is not going down like that. not today, not tomorrow and not during any of our lifetimes or beyond.
once the UK breaks free of the EU? the EU will crumble into a shadow of its current self in but a few short yrs.
and then lucky for us... all the people in power who plan that world planning/govt are ancient old fuks like the clintons, bush's, rothchilds, soros, and the like, their global plans and power will die with them.
perhaps one day very far in the future we will have a one world govt, but first, there is a culture war to deal with.
just opening borders, mixing cultures by force, and then telling everyone to simply deal with it is not a solid plan.
global governance will not be brought in the dark, backed by deceit and lies, by a few families with delusions of grandeur.
if and when a world govt pops up like maybe 100 yrs from now.... the people will have eyes open and be part of the process of forming that new world govt. it will not be foisted on them by con artists like soros, bush, clinton, or obama via trade deals like the TPP and paris trade agreement.
E.A Great Points::
Also what person this days will accept having a House with No Fences and No front door and no Locks on their Doors?
While one would love to be in a Global Panacea, we also have to accept reality and hence deal with the realism while dreaming of the Coming Nirvana!
Dude, what the fuck are you babbling about? The US has pushed globalism more than anyone else specifically because it was the best way for us to assert our influence around the world.
Again, what in the fuck are you babbling about? Who is they, what are they slow walking, and how would the US be "in the bag"? What even is "the bag"?
You realize the UK opted to join the EU right? No one made them do anything.
Pretty sure there was never any chance of the US joining the EU at any point ever. So hooray, we avoided something that was never even under consideration to begin with.
Nah, the Uk can leave the EU and the EU will be fine. Now if France or Germany left, then that would break the EU apart. The UK just isn't all that important anymore.
Where has that happened?
Dude, you are high.
That is exactly how a unified global government will come about. The concept of the nation state will disappear as the planet becomes more interconnected economically. Governments are becoming less and less important, as are national borders because the almighty dollar takes precedence above all else. Business interests drive government policies more than anything else.
.exactly... I have been watching it most of my life.
bs, that is where they left the rails.
flipping govts around the world for fun and profit is not "the best way"
and selling out our country is never the best way either. (we call this treason)
but all that is history, the only thing left now, is the arrests.
there are no statute of limitations on sedition, treason, and racketeering.
ya might want to read Executive Order 13818
because it is coming.... "the numbing
It was one of the founding members, has more people, and is actually located on the continent. Hell, the entire point of the EU was to prevent France and Germany from going at it again. Germany, by far, is the most important member of the EU (there is no EU without it), its beating heart, but France is the lungs. The UK would be like.... maybe a kidney, you can live without one.
First off, a unified world government will not be based on the US Constitution, that much should be obvious. It will be based on Western Democracy of course, and things like the Constitution will play a role in crafting it, but the actual US Constitution will not be the founding text. To think otherwise is moronic. Secondly, capitalism is an economic ideology/policy, not a form of governance and of course the world will be capitalist in the future. Not a single even remotely influential country follows an economic doctrine that doesn't utilize capitalism.
Yawn, then I guess the US will be left behind.
Has made the country and myself quite wealthy.
Ever heard of the American Empire? We have military bases all over the world, our culture influences or has overtaken those of countries all over the world, our businesses have a presence all over the world, with a phone call or two our government can influence the decisions of other governments all over the world. We have benefited more than anyone from the globalization that we have been pushing.
When has our country been sold out? Far as I can tell we are doing better than almost anyone.
Of who and for what? What the fuck are you even talking about?
Yeah, have fun with that lol.
