Principled Realism

I'm told that President Trump gave a speech at the UN earlier today to outline his philosophy of "principled realism" in US foreign policy, but I doubt that the assembled diplomats were prepared for how real it would get.  Somehow, I don't think that they've ever heard a speech quite like that.

He laid into Iran pretty good:
Pres. Trump: "It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran's gov't end its pursuit of death and destruction."
But, he saved the best line for North Korea's fat little dictator
Trump on Kim Jong Un: "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime"
Rocket Man!  Heh.  I like that.

Update**
“The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented. It is that socialism has been faithfully implemented."
That has to be the best line in the whole speech.  I see that the Dems are going crazy about our plain-spoken President, but for myself, I think he did great.

    Some people don't like it when you call a spade a spade. F**k 'em if they can't take a hint!

    Probably the best speech a US president ever gave at the UN, and I hope it causes a bunch of the entrenched bureaucrats to have an apoplexy!

    I'm waiting for Trump to tell the UN that there are 194 member nations from now on we will pay 194th of the tab. Let them move to Brussels if the don't like it.
