Telling uncomfortable truths happens so rarely on the world stage that it can sound shocking or even scandalous.
Late last month, President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations. Republicans have long been skeptical of the organization — and rightfully so. It provides a sheen of diplomatic prestige to many of the worst countries in the world. Mr. Trump didn’t bother with the typical diplomatic fawning and flattery. He bluntly warned countries to reverse course or face disaster.
“We have no choice,” Mr. Trump said about deporting illegal immigrants. “And other countries have no choice because other countries are in the exact same situation with immigration. It’s destroying your country, and you have to do something about it.”
Consider the United Kingdom. For years, the government covered up the systematic sexual assaults of girls. Why? Because the perpetrators were largely Pakistani Muslims. Avoiding the appearance of “Islamophobia” was more important to many British officials than preventing such attacks. In contrast, the British government aggressively arrests people for social media posts.
Mr. Trump noted that the “U.N. has such tremendous potential,” but that potential is untapped.
“At least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up,” he said. “It’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve war.”
That jab stings because it’s true. In contrast, Mr. Trump has helped stop fighting around the world.
Mr. Trump then went after European countries for not fully cutting themselves off from Russian energy.
“Europe has to step it up. They can’t be doing what they’re doing,” Mr. Trump said. “They’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia. It’s embarrassing to them.” All true.
