JC: Trump’s Home Truths at the United Nations

Donald Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly surprised the members present who were probably expecting a speech of the type most leaders give. Those speeches, full of platitudes, banality and hoary old chestnuts, have more of an ‘over the teacups’ feel about them especially when the subject matter is deserving of a stronger approach. They are filled with warm fuzzies and politically correct speak that reflect the talkfest that the United Nations has become. And we are paying for it.
