'Your countries are going to hell': important takeaways from Trump's UN speech while he flags teleprompter failure, bad escalator

US President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for the first time since 2020 on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. During his speech, Trump covered a wide range of topics, ranging from the lower levels of global migration to environmental initiatives and he even has a technical malfunction associated with the telprompant and a bad escalator in the United Nations. Here are the most important highlights of what President Donald Trump said before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, from the United Nations to his comments on environmental and climate change. Here’s what Trump said 1. Wars ended: Trump rejected the moves by the Allied nations to support a Palestinian state in the midst of Israel’s latest Gaza offensive and asked the European countries to take the same set of economic measures he suggested to use against Russia to end the war against Ukraine. “I’m very good at these things,” Trump says. “Your countries are going to hell,” he said. 2. Climate change: Donald Trump rejected climate change and called it the ‘biggest con’ done on the world, and the predictions made by the international body, and many others are often for bad reasons. “In my opinion, this is the biggest work ever done around the world,” Trump said. “All of these forecasts made by the United Nations, and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong.” “They were made by stupid people who cost their country’s fate and gave the same countries no chance of success,” Trump said Tuesday. 3. Blasts Un: President Trump said the United Nations had “tremendous potential” but it is not close to that level. He also said that all the international body is now to write a ‘strong word’ letter and then never follow up with it. “These are empty words and empty words do not solve wars,” Trump said. The US president also told the representatives of foreign nations around the world that the United States is the ‘hottest’ country anywhere in the world, and that no one is even coming close. As far as the topic of affairs is concerned, Trump, after the UN, told the United States that the United States is the best country to deal with on the planet Earth and also claims that the US economy is now ‘bigger and better’ compared to its first time in the White House than the president. 4. TelePrompter issue: During his speech, Trump also complained about the telprompant and ridiculously said he thought everyone was in ‘big trouble’. “I don’t care about delivering this speech without a telpromment, because the telpromment doesn’t work,” Trump said. “I can only say that anyone who runs this telprompter is in big trouble,” Trump said. Trump allegedly targeted it during both his presidential conditions and said that’s all he got from the United Nations. 5. Broken Escape: President Trump said on Tuesday that the escalator in the United Nations apparently did not function while he and the US first lady, Melania Trump, stepped on it. He also said that if his wife was not in a ‘good form’, she would have fallen out of it. “These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad television,” he said jokingly about the telprompant operator who finds themselves ‘big problems’ for it.
