UNITED NATIONS — President Donald Trump‘s unorthodox address to the United Nations General Assembly, in addition to the Russia–Ukraine and Israel–Hamas wars, has rendered the 80th annual leaders summit one of the most interesting in recent years.

Instead of traditional platitudes, Trump advised those gathered in the assembly hall for his address that their “countries are going to hell.” He also repeatedly complained about a malfunctioning escalator and teleprompter, seemingly emanating from his lost 2005 bid to renovate the headquarters building in New York City.
