So will the Madman's performance at the UN be better or worse than how it was at NATO?

If you've forgotten, during the NATO meeting this spring he engaged in a vocal shakedown session right after they had dedicated a 9-11 memorial for the US, much to the very visual nonplussed bemusement of other leaders. He then followed it up by physically shoving the President of Montenegro out of the way on the way to the official photo session.

the opportunity to demean so many foreign countries might tempt him to go off-script. Assuming he doesn't do a lot of offensive, jingoistic ad-libbing, the speech will be a lot of primate chest beating and hooting but with words that actually fit together. But later on, either in conversations or on Twitter - that's when he's likely to blow up whatever credibility or good will the speech might have produced by insulting somebody when once again he regresses to the third grade.

No one in the world respects the man in the least. He is a blowhard asshole and EVERYONE knows it. The only thing they want is the clock to run out on him before he does something irreparable, and the hope that America won't willingly sign up for another 4 years of this nonsense (shudder the thought, but there ARE people out there who think he is actually doing a great job...granted they are brain dead morons, but unfortunately their votes count the same as others)...

Its only been a shade under 9 months...the babies born in the next few weeks are the first "Trump babies". God help them all because their name sake in this bad analogy won't....

will start calling him "presidential" again. That will last until he stews about the Emmy Awards for a few days and lets loose with a twitter tirade. It won't be pretty for Spicy.
