President Trump begins his remarks in front of the United Nations General Assembly with a joke, saying “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you nevertheless — that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say, whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.”

During his speech today in front of the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald J. Trump states that China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, but adds that, “Inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cutoff much Russian energy and Russian energy products. I found out about two weeks ago and I wasn’t happy. Think of it — they’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one. In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs which would stop the bloodshed — I believe very quickly. But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures. Your a lot closer to this thing, we have an ocean in between, your right there. Europe has to step it up — they can’t be doing what they’re doing — they’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia. It’s embarrassing for them. They have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is reporting that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Southeastern Ukraine has lost all off-site power and emergency diesel generators have been activated, with this being the tenth such incident to occur since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. State Department has announced that it is designating Barrio 18, also known as the 18th Street Gang, one of the largest youth gangs operating throughout Central America, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). 

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has told NATO countries that they should shoot down Russian military aircraft that enter their airspace, according to Reuters.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump is currently meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump was asked just now if he thinks NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace, to which he responds, “Yes I do.” Trump was then asked if he still “trusts” Russian President Vladimir Putin, answering, “I’ll let you know in about a month from now.”

Wow, in a post just now on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald J. Trump says that after getting to know and understand the military and economic situation between Ukraine and Russia, and the economic trouble being imposed on Russia, “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe, and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option.” President Trump then states that the war is making Russia look like a “paper tiger” before adding, “most of their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that!” Ending the post by stating that, “We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!”

This might be one of the biggest 180s I have see in regard to foreign policy by the Trump Administration. Trump is now suggesting that Ukraine has the opportunity to recapture all regions of Eastern Ukraine, Crimea, while possibly capturing parts of Russia. Russia is not going to be happy in the slightest and I would expect further escalation against Europe and the United States.

Trump telling NATO to shoot down Russian aircraft and Ukraine to recapture Crimea was not on my bingo card for today’s United Nations General Assembly.

Ryan Routh, 59, the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald J. Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida last September, has been found guilty by a jury of all charges, which consists of five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, with Routh attempting to stab himself in the neck with a pen after the guilty verdict was read, but was stopped in his apparent “attempted suicide” by court officials.
