Trump at UN vows to "totally destroy North Korea" if USA forced to defend itself

A new sheriff is in town. One who doesn't threaten rogue states with more UN Security Council gatherings.

It's about time.

From CNNwire:

President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that the US would "totally destroy North Korea" if forced to defend itself or its allies.

"The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," Trump said during his first address to the UN General Assembly.

"It is time for North Korea to realize that its denuclearization is its only responsible future," Trump said.

Trump also warned that Kim Jong Un — whom he again referred to as "rocket man" — "is on a suicide mission for himself."

Trump UN speech will be a yuge one

An even better Donald J. Trump speech to the UN would be for one of New York's biggest landlords to tell the expensive debating club, "You're evicted."

Chinese President Xi Jinping is skipping the annual diplomatic crush in New York, but Trump will at least implicitly criticize Beijing in his Tuesday speech for not doing enough to tighten an economic vise on North Korea.

Trump "will speak in extremely tough terms about the North Korean menace and the threat it poses to our security and the security of all the nations in that room," a senior White House official told reporters. "And he will talk about, as well, the enablement of the North Korean regime and what that means too.:

It's not clear whether the president, who has repeatedly denounced President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, will declare whether he intends to certify that Tehran is complying with the deal by an Oct. 15 deadline. But he will deliver a message aimed at the Islamic republic’s people, the official said.

President Donald Trump Weekly Address 9/15/17

President Donald J. Trump spoke of Americans coming together as we aid those effected by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.

And he also commended our brilliant Founding Fathers.

"This week the United States celebrates the 230th Anniversary of the signing of our remarkable Constitution," Trump tells us.

And they gave us a constitutional system that protected our liberties by enshrining the Rule of Law."

(PragerU) If You Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire

Sure the British Empire was hardly perfect, my ancestors who emigrated from Ireland would have even a stronger opinion on that, but if you live in a free nation, you can thank the British.
