Donald Trump was not yet two minutes into his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly of his second term when he credited himself for having single-handedly forged a world “that was prosperous and at peace.”

He was, of course, referring to his first term, which led into a screed about how the president who both followed and preceded him, Joe Biden, squandered it all … largely by not being him.

Then, in what became just the first of many instances of denigrating the country he once again leads — on one of the biggest stages in the world — the 47th president groused about how “four years of weakness, lawlessness and radicalism” under the Biden administration had “delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters.”

    The only prosperity he brings is for his billionaire buddies. Everybody not at least multimiljonair is in the “don’t care” category

      You know the difference between a million and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.

      To billionaires, millionaires look just as poor as the rest of us. They can’t imagine trying to live on only a million dollars.

      Millionaires may think they are in the Rich Guys Club, but when the Sociopathic Oligarchs have bled us dry, they’ll go for the millionaires next.
