AUSTIN – US President Donald Trump offered a hardline conservative worldview in his Sept 23 speech at the United Nations, attacking the “two-tailed monster” of uncontrolled immigration and the “hoax” of climate change.
He offered no new ideas on resolving the Gaza conflict or the Ukraine war in the course of a meandering 56-minute speech that sounded like a stump speech made on the campaign trail in 2024.
