President Donald Trump mocked in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly and Unsuccessful offer To renew the building in New York.
“A very successful real estate developer, known as Donald J. Trump in New York years ago in New York, is a proposal to renew and rebuild this United Nations Complex,” Trump said during the extensive explanations that question the UN’s purpose. He said.
“I said that I would do it for $ 500 million at that time, I would rebuild, and everything would be nice.” He said.
“I used to talk, ‘I will give you marble floors, they will give you a Terazzo,’ ‘he remembered.” They will give you plastic. ‘ ‘
“I realized that they didn’t know what they were doing when it comes to construction.” Trump said. He said.
He said that the UN decided to enter “another direction”, which was “much more expensive at that time, and” producing a much lower product “.
Trump began his speech from paper notes because teprompter did not work.
When he stepped into Trump, the escalator in the UN, he and the First Lady Melania stopped working and fueled his attacks on the headquarters.
“These are the two things I bought from the United Nations: A bad escalator and a bad teprompter, Tr Trump broke.
In 2005, Trump asked a US Senate Committee to allow the UN to manage its renovations, which is ultimately rejected.
In his speech to the world leaders on Tuesday, Trump accused the UN of accusing the UN of “empty words and empty words do not solve wars”.
“The UN has a very tremendous potential, I have always said, Tr Trump said.
“He has a very enormous, tremendous potential, but he doesn’t even approach to live to the potential,” he said.
“All they do is to write a really strongly expressed letter and then to follow this letter; empty words,” he continued.
Trump’s speech came because he withdrew the United States from a number of different UN organs and provided funding for the organization.
Trump, who has been criticizing the UN for a long time, said that the member states were “ruined” by migration.
He also called climate change “Con work”.
Trump called on the UN to rely on his policy vision, saying that it was “really good to predict things”.
“They had a hat during the campaign. The best -selling hat, ‘Trump was right for everything,’ he remembered.
“And I’m not saying that in a Braggadociocious way, but that’s right,” Trump said.
