"In an appearance before the United Nations on Tuesday, President Donald Trump launched into a barrage of complaints about the international body, bemoaning it as ineffective at stopping wars and conflicts around the world - despite his own administration's role in said conflicts, particularly in Gaza. Trump questioned why the UN even existed, whining that it didn't participate in efforts by his administration to quell international conflicts."
"Trump continued to rattle off complaints, stating that the UN is failing to live up to its "tremendous potential."

"For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter," Trump said. "It's empty words, and empty words don't solve war.""
"Trump's speech included his own personal feelings about the international body; at one point, he griped about how the UN rejected his bid to renovate its headquarters. He also blasted countries for implementing immigration policies that differ from the racist and inhumane policies he's enacted in the U.S. "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell," he said."
Donald Trump criticized the United Nations as ineffective and questioned its purpose after concluding it had not supported U.S. efforts. He said the UN fails to stop wars, writes strongly worded letters without follow-through, and uses "empty words" that do not solve war. He argued the body is not living up to its potential and noted the UN rejected his bid to renovate its headquarters. He attacked other countries' immigration policies as inferior to his own measures and boasted about his ability, warning that other countries were "going to hell," while linking UN inaction to ongoing conflicts including Gaza.
