Donald Trump was a key speaker at the United Nations’ General Assembly on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and immediately sparked buzz for his remarks on immigration.
The U.S. president opened his address by criticizing the United Nations itself, complaining about their faulty teleprompter and a broken escalator that he encountered during his visit.
” What is the point of the United Nations? You do nothing to support the end of war, other than write a pathetic letter or two, which does nothing,” he said of the assembly, which is convening for its 80th session this year. “Empty words don’t solve wars… A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter is all I got from the United Nations.”
Turning the topic to immigration, Trump, 79, also took his fellow world leaders to task, insisting it was “time to end the failed experiment of open borders.”
“I’m really good at this stuff,” he declared. “Your countries are going to hell.”
