‘They are Totally Disgusted’: Donald Trump Brags About Speech, Then Turns to Crowd with Bizarre ‘Look at You People’ Remark

‘Look at You People’: Trump’s Revisionist History Creates Cringe Bragging Moment That Leaves World Leaders Stunned After U.N. Speech

‘They are Totally Disgusted’: Trump’s ‘Self-Absorbed Delusions’ Has a Room of World Leaders Speechless with His ‘Desperate Need for Validation’ After Humiliating Speech

Donald Trump tried to rewrite history, but no one would accept his version of events.

The 80-year-old made a triumphant return to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City this week, his wife, Melania Trump, and White House entourage in tow.

He was ready to disrupt the meeting of international leaders with a fiery speech touting political dominance.

Trump put on a show complete with theatrics and promises to “annihilate” sworn enemy Iran.

His bravado never wavered as the venomous message was met with silence instead of applause.

At one point, his speech was so poorly received that an entire delegation walked out as he stood at the podium.

Nonetheless, Trump left the summit feeling victorious and wasted no time recounting his success to the Gulf Cooperation Council and Arab nations.

He came face to face with Middle East leaders after his General Assembly address.

The Republican politician appeared boastful as he looked around the room where representatives from Qatar, Jordan, and other countries seated to his left and right.

“I just want to thank everybody for being here, very special. I had a good time making a nice speech today,” he told them.

“I’ve gotten, actually, very good marks. They gave me very good marks. I don’t know what that means,” continued Trump.

Viewers were also dumbfounded by his takeaway.

“Not a single sound came from anyone there. No one applauded. Reps from Cuba and Iran left the room. That was it,” wrote one critic.

A second onlooker quipped, “He’s so pathetically desperate for validation that he thinks they give out marks or scores.”

Two more people commented, “Obviously. That awful speech unified absolutely nobody except him and his own reflection. A truly spectacular masterclass in self-absorbed delusion,” and “The reviews are in & everyone is in agreement Trump was a monumental boor and abysmal failure today at the U.N.”

However, Trump’s thoughts became splintered as he looked around the room. “Hello, Mr. Prime Minister. How are you? Doing good?” he said to someone across the way.

“Look at you people. It’s amazing I’ve gotten to know these people, and I’m here largely because I know how good they are; they’re great,” he added.

The reactions from leaders seated at the table ranged from blank expressions to smug smirks.

A detractor scoffed, “They all look like they are totally disgusted to have to hear him speak. ‘You people’ is a very disrespectful way to refer to heads of state.”

Moreover, Trump expressed gratitude to the media. “The media’s been very respectful. It’s been very, very respectful. We appreciate it very much,” he said.

Trump is at odds with the U.S. media after banning multiple outlets from the White House because of their unflattering coverage.

CNN, MS Now, and Politico filed a lawsuit accusing the administration of violating the First Amendment. The Department of Justice is asking that media credentials for affected reporters not be restored.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
