U.N. Speech: Can New 'Trump Doctrine' Remake The World?

U.N.: President Trump no doubt didn't get the reaction he would have liked from the United Nations to his speech. The assembled diverse-ocrats seemed to largely ignore the substance of his speech. Too bad. The outlines of his new Trump Doctrine that he unveiled at U.N. headquarters will have a major global impact.

Gone are the days of President Obama's kowtowing to foreign despots and pretending that all nations are the same. They aren't. And Trump, while willing to live and let live, is the first president since Ronald Reagan to tell the U.N. that our country will no longer tolerate the tyrants and dictators whose nations make up much of the U.N.'s General Assembly.

Trump has been tough on the U.N., so it's not surprising that his speech wasn't exactly greeted with politeness. When he began his speech boasting of his administration many undoubted accomplishments, the assembled "diplomats" laughed.

"It's true," Trump said. He added, somewhat gracefully for him, "Didn't expect that reaction, but that's OK."

Laugh as they will, the U.N.'s members are finding out that Trump and his gutsy ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, are not patsies.
