Not much applause during Trump's UN Speech.

Lukewarm applause and possible gasps when he said that Socialism was to blame for a certain rogue nation's overreach.

In fact, do these speeches often come across like a diatribe? Not much reaction from the room.

the HUGE applause by UN delegates to his incoherent speech. This man is all about numbers and ratings. What an attention whore this man is and not for all the right reasons.

Reason left the room on 20 January.

This is a case where just because they call themselves something doesn't make it worthy of respect and repeat.

That is a military dictatorship and has about as much in common with socialism as do fleas with asteroids.

I don't think they're going to take him seriously.

He could always run for public office in my municipality or county. There's still a place for him.

Was just pushing back on the idiocy that the reason why NK is a problem is socialism.

There's more socialism in the US then there is in NK.

So, not only was the speech drivel and bluster but it wasn't even rooted in a sensible concern.

Not that i'm surprised. I'm sure you're not either.
