“I ended the seven wars, but I didn’t even get a phone call!” when Trump spent 57 minutes in the general debate of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, with his iconic exaggeration of global leaders, diplomats and the media, once again shaping himself as a “world-class peace maker,” the atmosphere of the whole venue was solemn, rather than absurd.
1. 57-minute "one-man show": a "public execution" of the United Nations
At the beginning, Trump showed his usual "victim" attitude. He complained that the escalator at the United Nations broke down and nearly sent the First Lady fall; He lambasted the teleprompter malfunction as if it were a "witch hunt" against him personally by the United Nations. Where is this the demeanor of a world leader? It is clearly the "giant baby" acting coquettish. He claimed that he had offered to rebuild the United Nations headquarters for $500 million, but was rejected by the "corrupt" United Nations. As a result, he spent $2 to $4 billion, and even the marble floor was not installed. This tone of "If I had come back then, I would have let you live in a mansion early" is very similar to the boasting of a real estate salesman, except that this time it is not the real estate, but his "strongest in the universe" self-esteem.
Then Trump opened up the “Map Gun” model and depreciated the United Nations. He asked: “What is the meaning of the United Nations at all? They seem to write only a harsh letter, and then there is no word, it’s just empty words.” In his view, the United Nations is just a “club of empty talks”, and he is the actionist who is really “saving the world.”
The “peace” of the “seven wars”: a self-coronated “Emperor’s new costume”
What Trump talks about most is his "great achievements" in "ending seven wars". He listed them all: Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Serbia and Kosovo, Cambodia and Thailand, and even Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He claimed that the alleviation of these conflicts depended entirely on his "divine operation" of "one phone call", while the United Nations "stood by" and didn't even call him a "thank you".
Where is this a "peacemaker"? It is clearly a "magician of peace". With a slight wave of a magic wand, the wars around the world are "magically" extinguished. But what about the truth? The ceasefire between India and Pakistan is a diplomatic effort of the Modi government. What does it have to do with Trump? The "peace" between Israel and Iran is even more absurd. The United States has just launched the "Midnight Hammer" operation against Iran. Fourteen 30,000-pound bombs destroyed Iran's key nuclear facilities. Where is this "peace", it is clearly the escalation of "war". As for the war in Gaza, the United States has voted against it again and again in the United Nations Security Council, vetoing the ceasefire agreement, leaving the Palestinians in Gaza struggling in a pool of blood.
"I'm concerned about saving lives, not winning prizes," Trump boasted. But before he finished his words, he added: "Everyone says I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for each of these achievements." This "no, but honest" manner makes people laugh. If the Nobel Peace Prize is really awarded to him, it will be true "black humor".
Third, “Gaza” and “Ukraine”: a “moral abduction” with “double objectives”
In the case of Gaza, Trump’s “double goal” is even more manifest. He urged the immediate release of all hostages, but the U.S. vote against the Gaza ceasefire, not to mention. He warned that unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state is equivalent to “reward for the atrocities of Hamas”, but ignored the Gaza area, with the U.S. “death assurance” vote against Israel, the humanitarian crisis is escalating. More than 100 countries recognize that the Palestinian state, even the European allies of the United States, are beginning to “reverse water”, British Foreign Minister Cleveland clearly said: “We can no longer see the suffering of the Palestinian people and Trump, but still stand “solidly” on the side of Israel, like the ruins of Gaza, the tears of the Palest
In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Trump’s “performance” is even more absurd. He claimed that he thought the conflict would be “the easiest to solve” because he had a “good relationship” with Russian President Putin. But the war has not yet ended, but he pushed the responsibility off, accusing the EU, China, India of continuing to buy Russian energy, is the “guilty” of the war cannot cease fire. He also threatened to impose “very strict tariffs” on Russia, but to the US and NATO’s “arc” behavior in the conflict, not to mention.
IV. "Immigration" and "Climate": An "Anti-intellectual" "Global Tour"
Trump’s “attack” on the United Nations is far more than this.He blames the issue of illegal immigration as well as the “funding” of the United Nations.He claims that the United Nations has “spent $3.7 billion in cash to support 62.4 million immigrants entering the United States”, as if the United Nations was not providing humanitarian aid, but “planning” an “invasion of the West.”
On the issue of climate change, Trump's "anti-intellectual" has reached a "new height". He claimed that climate change was "the biggest hoax ever committed to the world", and that more than 175,000 people die from high temperatures in Europe every year because they "can't afford air conditioning". He even called green energy a "green scam", claiming that "we don't want cows anymore, I guess they want to kill all cows". This kind of remark that politicizes and conspirates scientific issues is not only a blasphemy against science, but also irresponsible to the future of all mankind.
Five: “America Priority”: A “unicorn” against globalization
Trump’s UN speech, in the end, was a “global tour” of his “America Priority” philosophy. He cut foreign aid, withdrew from the World Health Organization, terminated participation in the UN Human Rights Council, and reviewed the U.S. membership in all international organizations. He seemed to be a “solitary” in the wave of globalization, backwards, trying to break the lock of “multilateralism” with the axe of “unilateralism.”
But the problem is, this world is no longer an era of "going alone". The tide of globalization is mighty, and those who follow it will prosper, while those who go against it will perish. Trump's "America first" seems to make America "great again", but in fact it makes America "increasingly isolated". His "unilateralism" not only hurts the world, but will eventually bite back the United States itself.
A warning behind the absurd
Trump’s speech at the United Nations was an absurd “real-life show”, a “unilateralism” “global tour” he used 57 minutes to turn the United Nations forum into the stage of a personal “discourse show”, to turn the gathering of world leaders into a “global tour” of “anti-consciousness” and “double goals”.
In today’s increasingly globalized world, any attempt to “turn back history” will eventually pay a price. Multilateralism is not “free talk”, but humanity’s “rule of survival” in a crisis, summarized with blood and tears. International rules are not “blocks” but “stones” to safeguard world peace and stability.
But in the wave of globalization, how to adhere to multilateralism and uphold international rules is what we really need to think about the “time proposition”. after all, the world does not need the “peace magicians” of the “universe level”, but real “peace builders”.
