Peter GleickThe headlines should be, but won't be:
"Trump embarrasses himself and the US in incoherent, rambling, shameful speech at the UN"
"Trump embarrasses himself and the US in incoherent, rambling, shameful speech at the UN"
Scott Lett@petergleick I wonder how many in attendance were nervously googling to see if his stupidity was contagious.
Pomegranate Pirate 🏳️🌈🏴☠️@petergleick he actually showed up?! Every time I hear him speak, I’m appalled he’s in a position of power, regardless of my politics- he’s dumb, and rambles like a buffoon.
Potatisapan@petergleick @meraord He embarrasses the entire species, IMHO.
Søren Have@petergleick Denmark’s largest newspaper: “The audience’s reaction was like at a family party where the embarrassing uncle just goes on and on”
Tilhørernes reaktion var som til en familiefest, hvor den pinlige onkel bare taler og taler
USA’s Donald Trump skældte ud på FN i hans hidtil mest hidsige opgør med en institution, han aldrig har været fan af. Talen vil gå over i historien som et skræmmende billede på verden anno 2025, skriver USA-korrespondent Jacob Fuglsang i denne analyse
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@sorenhave @petergleick - although to be fair, even here in Denmark this should have been the headlines since his first campaign, and yet it's only now that the press is presenting his inane babbling in a factual manner...
Johnnyvibrant@petergleick It feels kind of moot to ask this, but is he OK?
This speech was particularity mentally deranged even for Trump.
🟥 Eveline Sulman 🇳🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦@petergleick well, at least one Dutch instance has a title like that.

ck@petergleick the problem is that would be admitting they didn't do that the last 1000 times the man just went completely nuts
ArchaeoIain@petergleick I did see one comment that his speech demonstrated that he is mad
Theosoreass@petergleick im in the uk and trump is how we see all Americans, im dorry
Patrick Morris Miller@petergleick I read 'incoherent' as 'incontinent' and thought I was about to get to cross off a space on my bingo card.
ReindeR Rustema@petergleick Neh. "embarrassment is considered a "self-conscious emotion", and it can have a profoundly negative impact on a person's thoughts or behavior. Usually, some perception of loss of honor or dignity (or other high-value ideals) is involved" says Wikipedia.
Does not apply. The witnesses in the room could be embarrassed to be there though!
MidgePhoto@petergleick he doesn't feel embarrassment, I think.
