In a blistering U.N. address last week, President Trump trampled political correctness with shocking bluntness, denouncing the UN as inept, and warning that Europe is courting self-destruction through uncontrolled migration and the hoax of climate change.
Trump excoriated the United Nations for advancing globalist agendas that, far from delivering benefits, actively harm nations—undermining their sovereignty and weakening their economic foundations.
He also took aim at world leaders whom he said “incentivize” terror through appeasement, as they rush to declare support for a Palestinian state while Hamas terrorists still hold almost 50 people in captivity.
Trump gave voice to the contempt many harbor toward the UN for its incompetence and alleged corruption, mocking the institution for its “empty words” that “don’t solve wars” or global conflicts.
His speech was described by the Washington Examiner as “a sledgehammer of a message delivered to allies and adversaries around the world.”
‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’
Trump’s address was a powerful “emperor-has-no clothes-moment” for millions who know the truth about the UN and who recognize the evils of unchecked global immigration and climate change, but feel too constrained by political correctness to speak up.
Though he refrained from listing the many scandals, allegations of corruption, and institutional failures that have plagued the United Nations over the years, Trump questioned the value of a world body whose most noteworthy “accomplishments” amount to “writing strongly worded letters” with zero follow-up.
He highlighted his administration’s successes in negotiating the end to bloody conflicts in several hotspots around the globe, while blasting the UN for not stepping in.
Trump cited his successful campaign to shut America’s borders to illegal immigration, and his push for peace deals in Israel, Ukraine, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, saying “this should have been the UN’s job.”
“It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them,” Trump noted.
“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” he demanded. “The U.N. has such tremendous potential. But it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential.”
Afterward, the president attempted to cushion his scathing critique by assuring Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the top UN leader, that the United States remained supportive of the world body despite his earlier criticism.
During his first term, Trump slashed hundreds of millions in American contributions to the U.N. and took back $838 million from peacekeeping missions through a “rescissions” (restorative) package Congress approved in July.
But the United States is still the largest contributor to the United Nations, paying $820.3 million in 2025 alone — covering 22% of the UN’s $3.5 billion core budget.
Calling Out Cowardice
The president sharply rebuked leaders in France, Canada, Britain, and other Western allies who he said were rewarding and incentivizing terrorism by surrendering to Hamas demands, and kowtowing to pro-terror elements.
“As if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. This would be a reward for horrible atrocities, even while [Hamas] refuses to release the hostages,” Trump said.
“We can’t forget October 7,” he went on, demanding the immediate release of the 48 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
“This could have been solved so long ago, Trump said, but instead of giving in to Hamas ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: Release the hostages now.”
Earlier in the Oval Office, Trump had told reporters that the Hamas invasion and massacre in Israel’s south on Oct. 7, 2023, “was genocide at the highest level.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration was rejecting half-measures and demanding that Hamas immediately release all of the captives.
Rubio also dismissed media reports that Washington had received a letter from Hamas requesting a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of 10 Israeli hostages.
“We haven’t seen the letter, we don’t have that letter, and even if we did, it wouldn’t matter,” said Rubio. “The president’s already made clear: He’s not interested in 60 days, 10 people. He wants all the hostages out, all 48, including the 20 who are alive.”
On Iran: Those Who Refused to Cooperate… Are Dead
During his UN address, President Trump laid out what he termed a “very simple” stance on Iran: “The world’s No. 1 sponsor of terror can never be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon.”
Trump noted that shortly after taking office, he sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader offering full cooperation in exchange for suspending the country’s nuclear program. The ayatollahs spurned the overture and continued threatening U.S. interests and allied nations throughout the region, the president stated.
The consequences of their intransigence turned out to be deadly—to themselves.
“Today, many of Iran’s former military commanders—in fact, I can say almost all of them—are no longer with us. They’re dead,” Trump said. He revisited the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June, during which Israel wiped out Iran’s top tier military leaders and U.S. forces struck Iranian nuclear facilities.
“Three months ago, in ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ seven American B-2 bombers dropped 14 30,000-pound H-bombs on Iran’s key nuclear facility, totally obliterating everything,” the president said.
“And, let’s put it this way. There aren’t too many drug boats these days traveling on the seas by Venezuela,” he added, alluding to the U.S. military strikes he ordered against drug dealers plying their trade from bases in Venezuela.
‘A Double-tailed Monster’
Trump accused “globalists”—those who advocate for borderless nations—of driving successful countries to ruin. One by one, he targeted what he denounced as the twin pillars of globalist ideology: mass immigration and the climate hoax.
He branded these movements a “double-tailed monster” threatening national sovereignty and prosperity.
The President accused the United Nations of attacking the United States through a manufactured migration crisis. “Instead of solving problems as it should, the UN is creating new problems. It is actually funding an assault on Western countries and their borders,” he stated, citing established facts and figures.
“In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that, the UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens—can you believe that?—on the way to infiltrate our southern border.”
“The UN is supposed to stop invasions. Not create them. And not finance them. America won’t take it anymore,” he said, calling on Europe to defend its own citizens in the face of uncontrolled immigration.
“Europe’s been invaded by a force of illegal aliens pouring into Europe like nobody’s ever seen before. It’s not sustainable. Your countries are going to complete ruin.”
Trump cited prison statistics in Germany, Austria, Greece and Switzerland that show that over half the individuals incarcerated in these countries are foreign nationals or migrants.
“When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum-seekers who repaid kindness with crime,” he said, “it’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders.”
Green Energy: ‘Greatest Hoax of our Time’
The President then turned to what he called the greatest hoax of our time—the green energy scam, mocking pretensions that using wind or solar energy is a source of salvation for the world.
His speech was a fiery repudiation of globalism as he lashed out at the elites driving this ideology worldwide, accusing European leaders of sacrificing economic security to appease climate fanatics.
Globalists insist that forgoing conventional fuels and relying on wind turbines benefit society by decreasing its “carbon footprint.”
“We’re getting rid of the falsely named ‘renewables,’ in the United States,” he said, poking holes in the claims of environmentalists that harnessing “renewable wind” [wind turbines] results in lower operational costs.
In another “emperor has no clothes moment,” Trump dismantled the lies behind this ideology.
“Windmills [as an alternative to gas, coal and electric energy] are a joke,” the president scoffed. “They don’t work. They’re too expensive. They’re not strong enough to fire up the plants that you need to make your country great. The wind doesn’t blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad, so expensive to operate, and they have to be rebuilt all the time; they rust and rot. Most expensive energy ever conceived.”
“You’re supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. With windmills, you lose money, the governments have to supply massive subsidies. All green is all bankrupt. That’s what it represents. Many countries are on the brink of destruction because of the green energy agenda.
The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they’re heading down a path of total destruction.”
“If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail,” Trump exhorted the 193-member countries of the General Assembly.
Historic Con Job
He then reminded the world leaders of how long the scam has been running, and the string of deceptions propping up what he called “the greatest con job perpetrated on the world.”
“In 1982, the executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program predicted that by the year 2000, climate change would cause a global catastrophe. He said it will be irreversible as any nuclear holocaust. What happened? Nothing. Here we are,” said Trump.
“Another UN official stated in 1989 that within a decade, entire nations could be wiped off the map by global warming. Look around you. It’s not happening.”
“It started with the theory of global cooling. If you look back years ago in the 1960s and the 1970s, they said global cooling will kill the world. We’ve got to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler.”
“So now they switched to ‘climate change’ because that way, they can’t miss,” Trump said sarcastically. “Because whether climate temperatures go higher or lower, they’re covered: it’s climate change. “It’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”
Trump also pointed out that while prosperous countries are destroying their economies to “shrink carbon footprints” by deindustrializing, rising powers like China, Russia, and India continue doing whatever they want. So, the climate change countries aren’t even any better off because ultimately, we all breathe the same air.
Redistributing Global Wealth Through Self-Inflicted Decline
Trump summed up green energy movement as a socialist and globalist agenda whereby wealthy, successful nations are being told to cripple their own economies and disrupt the lives of their citizens—all in the name of helping poorer countries.
“They’re asking successful industrialized nations to inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies” so that poorer countries will somehow thrive. This must be rejected completely,” he said.
“That’s why I withdrew from the fake Paris Climate Accords, where, by the way, America was paying so much more than every country,” Trump told the General Assembly. “Others weren’t paying at all. China didn’t have to pay until 2030. Russia was given an old standard that was easy to meet, a 1990 standard. But for the United States, we’re supposed to pay like a trillion dollars. And I said, ‘This is another scam.’
Trump pointed to countries in Asia that have no compunction about polluting the world’s water and air, noting that those practices render green energy movements futile.
“No matter what you’re doing down here, the air up there tends to get very dirty because it comes in from other countries [who don’t care about pollution], and the environmentalists refuse to acknowledge that. Same thing with garbage.
“In Asia, they dump much of their garbage right into the ocean. And in a one-week and two-week journey, it flows right past Los Angeles. You’ve seen it: massive amounts of garbage. Almost too much to do anything about, flowing past Los Angeles, past San Francisco!”
“The whole thing is crazy,” he said.
“The fact is the United States has been taken advantage of by the world for many, many years, but not any longer, as you probably noticed.”
Dramatic Shift on Russia-Ukraine War
Trump also addressed Russia’s war in Ukraine, once again threatening to hit Moscow with “a very strong round of powerful tariffs” if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not agree to negotiate an end to the war.
Following the speech and a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Trump announced a dramatic shift in his position on the war: He said he now believes Ukraine, with the help of NATO, can win back all territory lost to Russia.
“I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” Trump wrote in an online post. “With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original borders from where this War started, is very much an option.”
“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a war that should have taken a real military power less than a week to win,” Trump wrote. “This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like ‘a paper tiger.’”

From the Butt of Jokes to A Nation Once Again Respected
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas spoke for many, saying Trump’s speech at the United Nations was “fantastic” and that the president was right to “call out that cesspool.”
Despite the stinging rebuke Trump delivered to the 193-member General Assembly, his speech ended with an outburst of polite applause, not overly enthusiastic but still remarkable. It came from world leaders who recognized that America, under this administration, was no longer the passive player of years past, but a force to be reckoned with.
Under Biden, America’s global image was represented by its failing leadership mired in allegations of dementia and feebleness. The country was running on Autopen or being led by shadowy surrogates for a semi-incapacitated president.
Farms and factories mysteriously went up in flames across the country and no one discovered the cause. Ships veering off course knocked bridges down. Tankers loaded with chemicals spilled toxic material into residential areas.
Suspicious drones and spy balloons were seen flying past top-secret military installations, with no satisfactory explanation given for their presence.
In just seven months, President Trump has dramatically reshaped America’s national and foreign policy, transforming the U.S. from the punchline of “wandering-president” jokes into a nation once again feared and respected on the global stage.
Those changes have triggered others in their wake.
Remember the World Economic Forum—the gathering of billionaire global elites with outsized influence over world governments and economic affairs? The WEF pledged to “reset” the world’s economy, summing up their communist-socialist ideology about redistributing the world’s wealth with the chilling slogan, “You will own nothing and be happy.”
The WEF is now a diminished force, its leadership tarnished by allegations of financial fraud and scandals involving unethical conduct at the highest levels.
“Climate action” and “energy transition,” the lynchpins of their sweeping globalist agenda—are now viewed with growing skepticism and public distrust.
The once-intimidating organization has been defanged and people wonder why anyone ever feared it in the first place.

Trump Signs Order Targeting ‘Left-wing Terrorism’
President Trump’s UN address condemning unchecked migration and the climate energy hoax as destructive globalist schemes was swiftly followed by a new Presidential Memo, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.”
With a dramatic signing ceremony in the Oval Office last week, the administration signaled a unified crackdown on both international and internal threats to American stability.
Trump announced he was launching a new law enforcement strategy targeting the organizers of political violence. These organizers often begin by isolating and dehumanizing specific individuals to justify murder or other violent action against them.
The Presidential Memo referred to doxxing people (harassing them by publishing private information about them on the internet) or calling them “Nazis” and “fascists” for harboring conservative or right wing opinions.
The Memo went on to expose the malicious intent behind organizations that cloak themselves as idealistic “anti-fascists” to justify their persecution of people on the political right. These groups focus on radicalizing innocent young people into wild-eyed leftists.
During the signing event, President Trump specifically mentioned left-wing billionaire George Soros as an alleged key actor in funding leftwing violence.
Soros’ notoriety rose during the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic campus riots following October 7, when he was suspected of funding violent groups who took over buildings, defaced property, set up tent encampments, and targeted Jewish students.
Trump called Soros a “likely candidate” for investigation. “If people are funding these things, they’re going to have some problems, because they’re agitators and they’re anarchists.”
The president wasted no time in putting the new law enforcement strategy into action. The New York Times reported that “a senior Justice Department official has instructed more than a half dozen U.S. attorney’s offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros— the Open Society Foundation.
With this Presidential Order, the notorious Soros and his shadowy network of radical left-wing groups will finally be forced into the open.
