He’s gunna yell at everyone about not helping with Iran and then crap his pants and waddle off stage in shame.
Trump will say everything except what is actually required.
Just like many of his promises and speeches, this one will be no different.
All aboard the shit show.
This would make a crazy drinking game.
Another bitchfest
Trump actually had a couple ribs removed so he can blow himself in front of the world
Take a shot of gasoline everytime he falls asleep!
Did his pants fall down around his ankles like grandpa Simpson?
“I’m special and you all don’t love me enough”
“Hello LOSERS, it’s your favorite US President again…. ME.
I’m going to make you listen to my crazy ranting for two hours.”
This ought to be good
I’m sure this won’t be embarrassing at all…
Over/under on the number of teleprompter and escalator references? 4 feels like a good number.
Take a drink every time he says, I,me, great or golden
If someone wants to make a quick buck, they could sell tomatoes in the lobby.
Yanno, I dont feel bad for the version of Trump we’ve known as a society for 50+ years. But whenever I’m forced to hear him speak I do feel a little tinge of sadness for the 5 year old version of him and how badly he was failed. Like he’s definitely going to live longer than me, never stress about surviving or whatever, but I think in my 31 years I’ve felt genuine love and affection more than him. And I was raised by addicts! Like no words that come out of his mouth ever sound like someone who has felt genuine warmth in their life towards anyone or towards himself.
When did the UN add a comedy segment?
Everyone walks out except Israel and Russia…
The UN really needs to call him out on the child molestation. They are just as guilty for allowing it to happen.
The Soviet Union would be pleased to offer amnesty to your wayward wessel
Listening to the state of the world is very depressing.
It just arrived at the assembly building and what did I hear? “You shouldn’t be here. You shouldn’t be covering me.”
Uh excuse me? Press get different credentials for the UN; it is NOT the White House.
It is very quickly going to go downhill at this rate.
Wonder if he’ll actually stay on time. Needs to sign the Greenland agreement right afterwards
