Trump's UN speech was a grand slam
Washington Examiner, Sep 19, 2017, Tom Rogan

On Tuesday, addressing the United Nations for the first time as president, President Trump delivered a powerful message.

On the peril, Trump was clear.

He spared no ire in confronting the efforts of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to acquire an intercontinental ballistic missile plus nuclear warhead capability. Trump warned that if the U.S. is "forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea." Referencing Kim specifically, Trump warned that "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for him and his regime."

Trump pledged to continue destroying the Islamic State and said America and its allies would "crush" ISIS.

The president also offered a very tough tone on Iran, describing the nuclear deal with that nation as an "embarrassment," and condemning the Iranian regime for its human rights abuses. But Trump's anger wasn't focused solely against adversaries that pose threats to American lives. As a case in point, Trump took a few minutes to launch a blistering strike on the "socialist dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro" and the ideology of socialism as that which has fostered "poverty and misery everywhere it has been tried."

Franklin Graham loved the speech.

RIV, maybe you could ask a MOD to combine all of those Trump speech threads.  You were saying that there weren't many comments, and that is probably because there are so many different threads on the same topic.

Nah ... when that happens no editorial gets the chance to be read or commented on.  People are viewing (hopefully reading) the articles.  Methinks those interested are mostly guests to the site.
