Trump uses world stage to bash UN over rejected deal with his family business

By Alexander Willis
Published September 23, 2025 11:06 AM ET

President Donald Trump complained for minutes on end during his address to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday about what he perceived as a real estate snub in the early 2000s to renovate the U.N. building in New York City, New York.

“Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York known as Donald J. Trump bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex, I remember it so well,” Trump said in his address to close to 150 world leaders.

“I said at the time that I would do it for $500 million, rebuilding everything. It'd be beautiful, I used to talk about ‘I'm going to give you the best of everything; you're going to have mahogany walls, they're going to give you plastic.’”

And soon hopefully NATO and the rest of the free world will realize we are their enemies in a very real way.

But even when that happens the MAGA will just standby and watch their entire world be completely destroyed before they will admit they are wrong and that the liberals and the Democrats are the adults in the room.

This will eventually end. The guilty will try to sleaze away or avoid accountability for all of this. That is NOT going to happen again. The criminals from the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan skated. The criminals that wrecked the world economy and nearly started a depression in 2008 skated. The son of a bitch that started an insurrection, raped a woman (at least ONE that he was CONVICTED FOR), fondled/ogled underage girls, was besties with a pedophile monster, married a whore for his 3rd baby momma, stole classified documents (that many were SOLD and remain unaccounted for) and he skated on ALL OF IT.

No more.

Stephen Miller?
Kash Patel?
Pam Bondi?
RFK jr.?
The rest of the worst cabinet ever?

NONE OF YOU are going to skate. NONE.
You are ALL going down and all going inside to do your time.
Every fucking second that the law allows.
