Trump Delivers Uncompromising UN Address to Silent Assembly
NEW YORK – September 24, 2025 – In a striking departure from his 2019 address to the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump delivered a lengthy and assertive speech today to a largely silent chamber. six years after his previous appearance prompted audible laughter from the audience, this year’s address was met with a somber and attentive, if not receptive, atmosphere as the former president outlined his worldview and criticized both domestic opponents and international organizations.
The nearly hour-long speech served as a raw exposition of trump’s ideology, lauded by supporters as “Trumpism unplugged” and dismissed by critics as “trumpism unhinged.” Trump began by extolling the virtues of the United States and highlighting his own accomplishments, claiming the nation was experiencing a “golden age” and asserting he had personally ended seven wars – a claim that has been widely disputed. He then turned his focus to the United Nations itself, questioning its effectiveness and stating it had “tremendous potential but was not living up to that.”
Trump specifically criticized the UN’s role in global peacemaking, suggesting the association had not adequately supported his efforts. he repeatedly emphasized his own achievements and sought recognition, even suggesting his peace initiatives merited a Nobel Peace prize. The speech, characterized by direct attacks on perceived adversaries and their ideas, offered a extensive overview of Trump’s foreign policy perspectives and his continued belief in an ”America First” approach.
