There was a lot of reaction to President Donald Trump’s speech to the United Nations yesterday.

RELATED: Moving away from our Constitution is causing so many ills 

Remember when the head of the UN, Kofi Annan, back in the day, told the United States how we should vote in our own elections? Now Trump is getting called out for saying we’re going to resolve the situation in North Korea.

I think it’s one of the best speeches President Trump has delivered. Meanwhile, the media says things like “the president may have committed a war crime” with his words.

Obama pointed out we could destroy the entire nation of North Korea as well. But Trump of course is lambasted for his similar words.

Could the UN be helpful? It could, but it’s corrupt. And it has become a mess because the UN seems to believe that countries like Syria and Libya have something to contribute to human rights.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
