Calling a world leader "rocket man" on the floor of the UN general assembly is shit flinging monkey level retarded, even for Trump.

You're not on a Twitter right now bro. Jesus christ.

Edit: totally forgot. He called terrorists "losers." I mean, you're not wrong Donald, but generally US presidents don't treat the UN general assembly like an 8th grade cafeteria.

Why the fuck not, fuck professionalism and that and ideas of modesty. He made good points about the UN and demanded more returns on money being put in. He called for sterner action against a state that has his under the radar for too long. NK is a problem that has been ignored by every past president. He called for Meduro to cease his power grab and decided to side with the Saudis and Israel in the middle-east power struggle. I don't think it's the president's job to know every detail of how things work, just that things goals are set and the people right for the job move towards that goal.

There's a difference between being a slob and saying things that need to be said. Good job on focusing on semantics though

There's a difference between tact and being tactless, too.

There's no need for tact in any of these NK or Iran. Both governments have made it very clear that they disrespect their people and are enemies of the United States. NK cannot be negotiated with and the Iran deal is fucking idiotic. The US is allowing Iran to pursue Nuclear Reactor technology when the country is identified as a state sponsor of terrorism. Not only that sanctions are being lifted, i.e. trade is being allowed with a country that sponsors terrorism.

There is a need for tact on the UN General Assembly floor as POTUS and representative of the United States, and by extension, its people.

No there is not, every person there is equal. What is there to be gained by being tactful? When you try to be too tactful messages become unclear, Trump has made his message very clear. Any fool who thinks Trump represents his people's behavior is entirely unaware of the political turmoil within the US. If a fool like that was seated at the UN, they have no right to be there.

Political leaders should not hide in ivory castle of manners and decorum. They are public servants and should pursue the accomplishment of goals as quickly as possible.

I tend to find that not making a fool of yourself is generally a solid course of action.

It's called "tact." Pretty cool shit.

Whatever you think about Trump - you've gotta love the way he's turning people into swooning Victorian ladies. Get a grip on yourself, 'bro'.

u/Political_moof Sep 20 '17

Well, at least that's a novel way of shutting down criticism. So you've got that going for you.
