It must have been grindingly cringe to make your way through the entire transcript of this unhinged mess. I appreciate the sacrifice. Thank you for your service.

Calling that man "President" is the greatest "HOAX" of my lifetime.

The babysitters need to do their duty to the country instead of leaving him to run wild at the mouth.

Please, strap in his Binky to stop the overflow of hatred toward EverymanEverywhere. He is NOT fulfilling his duty to the country by tearing down all that is good about its laws and us as a people of national character.

Enough, already.

The UN was formed on the ashes of WWII to replace the ineffective League of Nations.

It is not America’s baby, and Especially not the toy of the rambling bumpkin.

For his information, the green stone is not plastic. It’s malachite, a semi-precious stone also used for the huge gold-accented vases belonging to Tsarina Catherine II, now on display at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, RU. It seems his visits there didn’t include visiting that palace-now-museum along the Neva? Maybe he was too busy with other attractions?

Trump sees it differently: the UN is the baby. The U.S.'s baby. It was created by the U.S., with the complicity of the UK, which still thought it would be a great imperial power for many centuries to come. Alas, Britain lost its empire; and the U.S. gained its. If the U.S. and UK are the UN's parents, the UK is virtually immaterial today. The UN has now become the U.S.'s diplomatic face-slap machine. And the U.S. has no use for face-slapping any more. Trump wants it destroyed. Well, if he can destroy democracy in his own country, don't you think he'll try for international democracy next?

Lashing out at internal policy in the city of London is intended to point fingers at the UN's failings in areas which are not even part of the UN's remit. Escalator systems are the responsibility of the building's multinational architects, whose principal was French. The same nationality as that of the president he made stand on a street corner waiting for his motor train to pass. I'll lay a dime to a dollar that menus for banquets in his new ballroom will not have one word of French on them. Wannabet?

France is a Security Council member. Britain too. But the security council is defunct: Russia and the U.S. will only play ball if there's something in it for both of them. The board of management for world peace is now a gambling hall.

The UN is the U.S.'s baby, to nurture or to condemn to the altar of Moloch. It is to Moloch that, yesterday, Trump tried to send the baby. I fear the only way to save it is to place a child protection order over it, and secrete it away to Switzerland.

I watched the last 15 minutes or so live, what a moron; yet the delegates applauded! If they should have just sat in stony silence!

Thank you for the offer of the full transcript. As I'm no masochist and need to protect my mental health, I'll respectfully pass. But thank you anyway.

I can't decide whether Dump is insane or merely drunk. What a disgrace to the United States.
