Trump’s UN Speech Ignites Global Backlash and Sparks Social Media Fury

International leaders and social media users have criticized President Donald Trump’s UNGA presentation. The address on September 23, 2025, was controversial and baseless, sparking online outrage.

Trump started with a joke about a broken teleprompter then moved on to more serious matters. He accused the UN of supporting a “globalist migration agenda.” and failing to tackle global crises. The president called climate change a “hoax,” predicting that renewable energy measures would fail.

Trump’s comments on Western European immigration were particularly offensive. He called these policies “suicidal,” saying they were sending nations “to hell.” This xenophobic and harsh rhetoric has been strongly denounced.

Trump claimed in his speech that he had terminated “seven unendable wars.” Various sources have questioned and criticized these claims.

Social media critics have voiced dissatisfaction. The speech has been called “embarrassing” and “disgraceful,” with some accusing Trump of exploiting it to promote his political agenda rather than global issues.

The UN has been criticized after the address. Diplomats and international observers debated the organization’s usefulness and relevance despite technical concerns with the teleprompter and escalator.

This event highlights multilateral diplomacy and global governance issues, as well as US-international conflicts.
