US President Donald Trump launched a sarcasm-laden broadside against the United Nations Tuesday, saying the institution does not help peace and mocking the quality of the headquarters building.
“The UN has such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it — it has such tremendous, tremendous potential. But it’s not even coming close to living up to it,” Trump said in an address in which he complained about a broken escalator at the New York headquarters.
During his speech, he also called climate change the “greatest con job ever” and alleged that the concept of carbon footprints was “a hoax” as he addressed the UN General Assembly Tuesday.
“Climate change — it’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion,” he said. “(The) carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they’re heading down a path of total destruction.”
